This is a great product.
Unscented, gentle, not greasy, and blends into skin well.
It's always nice to find a facial product that is uncented and gentle. This one fits the bill. There is no scent to the product, and the formula feels creamy and nourishing. To get the product to blend well use a good amount because it will dry quickly, but keep in mind that a little also goes a long way. Using enough product will also help with blending it into the skin. It dries quickly, so if you don't use enough you won't get it to effectively cover the area and it will dry too quickly to get it to properly blend in - especially for darker skin tones.
Despite how creamy the product is, it's not greasy at all! It leaves a nice matte finish which should work well for everyone. If you want a more dewy look, you can use makeup products that add that bit of shine, but if you want a matte look, you don't have to combat a base that has a sheen.
The only drawback that I have is that it may not blend well with darker skin tones. My skin is mid range and it blended well into the back of my hand, but on my face I noticed the slightest white cast. This will be more noticable on darker skin tones. It's less a fault of the product though and just what comes with the territory for a mineral based SPF.
I would definitely recommend this product to family and friends, but would encourage those with a darker skin tone to try it out first before committing to the purchase.

I was excited to try this product to treat some hormonal pimples.
It arrived in a nice sleek package. The patches were in 3 individually wrapped packages of sheets that contained 12 patches each. This was great so that there was no risk potentially tampering the remaining sheets while making use of the open set.
To use, you have to peel the round patch from the backing. Take your time with this because the patches are very sticky and will stick to your fingers. I tried to grab the thinnest edge possible so that I didn’t touch too much of the part with the active ingredients. I then positioned it on the pimple and push down for it to stick. I had no issues with any of the patches falling off.
The patches work well. In the morning I was able to see that some of the white buildup was removed. It even sucked up buildup where I could not see it with my naked eye. The only negative was that some of the patches were a bit uncomfortable to remove. But I guess that is the trade-off with ensuring that they are sick enough enough to not fall off at night.
The patches left no scarring, and did not irritate my skin.
It is definitely a healthier choice than trying to squeeze a pimple or using a product all over your face when you really only have a few pimples to target.
I shared a few patches with some friends so that they could try it as well. I would likely purchase I’m out of these.

I absolutely love this shampoo. Even when I deviate from it to try something new, I always come back to it. The quality is there, and the price is accessible for most.
I can use it on my hair and my kids' hair without issue. The smell is fresh and light. Most importantly it does not trigger my migraines.
My hair feels clean without feeling like it's been stripped. If I feel I need more hydration, I will use the Head and Shoulders Original 2-in-1 and follow-up with my usual conditioner after.
I recommend this 100%
