A good option designed for those seeking a gentle cleanser for dry skin. It boasts a fragrance-free formula with ingredients like vitamin E and pro-vitamin B5 (panthenol) that aim to cleanse and retain moisture.
Pros:
Gentle cleansing: Many users find this body wash effective at removing dirt and impurities without stripping the skin of its natural moisture. This makes it suitable for people with dry or sensitive skin.
Moisturizing: The formula contains ingredients known for their hydrating properties, leaving the skin feeling soft and comfortable after showering.
Fragrance-free: This is a big plus for those with sensitive skin or fragrance allergies.
Affordable: this body wash is generally less expensive compared to some high-end brands.
Cons:
May not be enough for oily skin: If you have oily skin, you might find this body wash isn't strong enough to remove excess oil. It's better suited for those with normal to dry skin.
Overall:
Good option for people with dry or sensitive skin looking for a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser. It effectively removes dirt and impurities while leaving the skin feeling soft and hydrated. However, the limited lather and potential for a faint scent might be drawbacks for some.
Here are some additional things to consider:
Your skin type: If you have oily skin, you might be better off with a body wash formulated for your specific needs.
Desired lather: Consider how much lather you prefer in a body wash.
Sensitivity level: If you have very sensitive skin, do a patch test before using the product liberally.
I hope this review helps you decide if Lubriderm® Advanced Moisture Therapy Body Wash is the right choice for you!

Deep hydration: Lubriderm® Advanced Therapy Lotion effectively hydrates and relieves dry, itchy skin. The formula contains ingredients like mineral oil and ceramides, which help lock in moisture and improve the skin barrier.
Despite its thick consistency, the lotion absorbs well and doesn't leave a greasy residue. This makes it suitable for daily use on the body.
This is ideal for people with sensitive skin or those who prefer unscented products.
It's a drugstore brand and is generally less expensive compared to some high-end body lotions.
Some people prefer a lightweight lotion, while others prefer a thicker formula. Consider how you want your lotion to feel on your skin.
I hope this review helps you decide if Lubriderm is for you!

I recently started using PanOxyl PM Balancing Renewal Moisturizer, and so far, I'm impressed! The bottle came securely sealed, and the moisturizer itself is a white, gel-like texture that's easy to dispense. It does have a slightly sticky feeling at first, but it absorbs well and doesn't leave my skin greasy.
One of the things I liked most is that it contains niacinamide, which I've heard can be great for improving skin texture and reducing breakouts. Even though the exact percentage isn't listed, the fact that it's the third ingredient suggests a decent amount is included.
The first time I used it, I felt a slight warming sensation that went away quickly. Thankfully, I didn't experience any allergic reactions. The most surprising thing? After just two nights, my skin texture felt smoother, and any potential breakouts seemed to calm down. It's hard to say for sure if this is thanks to the niacinamide or just a coincidence, but my initial experience has been very positive. I'll definitely keep using this moisturizer and see how my skin continues to respond.
Overall
This revised review maintains a positive and optimistic tone while acknowledging the need for further testing to confirm the effects on breakouts.

As someone with combination skin that's prone to breakouts with a darker complexion, finding a daily moisturizer with SPF can be a struggle.
Pros:
Perfect Balance for Combo Skin: It controls oil throughout the day without drying out my cheeks, which is a huge win.
Non-Comedogenic: No new breakouts! This is essential for acne-prone skin.
SPF 30 Protection (Mineral): Protects my skin from the sun without irritation. (Tip: Apply sparingly and let it dry to avoid a white cast.)
Great Makeup Base: Leaves my skin smooth and prepped for foundation.
Cons:
Might not be enough for winter: I can see how this moisturizer might need a hydration boost during colder months.
Initial White Cast (Mineral SPF): It does leave a white cast at first, but applying a thin layer and letting it dry solves the problem.
Overall:
Highly recommend PanOxyl Oil Control Moisturizer for people with combination skin, especially during warmer months. It provides great oil control, sun protection, and a perfect base for makeup, all without clogging pores. Just be mindful of potentially needing extra hydration in winter and applying a thin layer to avoid a white cast.

PanOxyl Clarifying Exfoliant with 2% Salicylic Acid could be a good option for people with oily or acne-prone skin looking for a gentle exfoliating treatment. This exfoliant seems to work well for oily, acne-prone, and combination skin types. If you have dry or very sensitive skin, you might want to choose a gentler exfoliant or use this product less frequently.However, it's important to patch test first due to the potential for irritation, especially with sensitive skin. If you're already using other exfoliating products, be mindful of over-exfoliation which can damage your skin barrier. If you have concerns, consult a dermatologist for personalized advice.

This dermatologist-approved cleanser is a great choice for tackling mild to moderate acne, thanks to its key ingredient: benzoyl peroxide. Many users have experienced success in clearing up breakouts with this gentle wash.
Here's the thing: PanOxyl is formulated to be kinder on your skin than other benzoyl peroxide washes. However, everyone's skin is different! To be on the safe side, it's a good idea to do a patch test before diving in.
This wash is perfect for normal, oily, and combination skin types, leaving you feeling clean and refreshed. If you have dry skin, don't worry! You can still benefit from PanOxyl's acne-fighting power by using a separate moisturizer alongside it.
Remember, for more severe acne or super sensitive skin, a dermatologist can create a personalized plan for you.
Pro-tip: Keep a white towel on hand specifically for drying your face after using PanOxyl. Benzoyl peroxide can cause bleaching, so it's best to avoid any surprises with your favorite washcloths!
Overall, PanOxyl is a powerful option to consider in your fight against acne. With its gentle approach and effective formula, it can help you achieve clearer, smoother skin.

It absorbs super fast and leaves my skin feeling comfortable, not greasy or sticky at all. It forms a nice protective layer that soothes and hydrates my skin. It even helped repair a breakout on my leg when I thickly applied it - woke up the next day with a noticeable improvement!
The texture is like a lightweight gel, much better than thicker ointments like Aquaphor or Vaseline that feel heavy and greasy. This Aveeno moisturizer absorbs right in, leaving no scent and no need for rubbing. My skin feels soft and smooth after using it, and I'm definitely going to buy it again!

This product seems like a good tool for people who are determined and self-motivated to quit smoking, like I was when I used the patches. Lozenges might be a better option for light smokers now. But just like I experienced, relying solely on a tool might not be enough. Having a strong desire to quit and maybe some extra support can make a big difference. Remember, relapses happen, but I quit before and you can too, and the health benefits are definitely worth it -

I received this product for free from @butterly and @naircanada for testing and review purposes.
I use several at-home hair removal methods: plucking, derma planning, shaving, and depilatory cream, so these Nair-sensitive wax-ready strips couldn't have come at a better time.
They don't, and they shouldn't be warmed up with your hands. They work better in cold or at room temperature. Once you start handling them, they get too warm and stick to your skin. Otherwise, these work well. They're too small to reuse, but if your hair grows back soft and fine. I have a mix of soft/ peachy hair and thick and strong hair, but even one good pull was able to get off a bunch at once. With my hair being so strong, however, it would've been too painful and time-consuming and would use up all the strips getting them all off. I would suggest using these strips more for maintenance instead of when the hairs become overgrown. All-in-all, this was a great product, doesn't have a smell for those who need or prefer to use unscented products like I do. It was also very gentle on my skin and didn't leave me any rashes or bumps behind but make sure to treat and aftercare the waxed location.

It is a sunscreen pleasant to the touch, and leaves a velvety feeling on the skin. if you have oily skin may not be the best choice for you because it leaves a little sluggish skin, but I like that so its not a problem for me.
I have light dark skin complexion so most of face sunscreens leaves a white cast on my skin.
I tried 3 method to apply it:
1. The sunscreen on its on and work the product with my hands before applying on my face.
- After a while some sections around my hairline and eyebrows had some dried product build up. A bit of white cast when applied.
2. Mixing with moisturizing face cream/oil.
- Kept my face moisturized all day without any dryness. No issues
3. Mixing with a tear of liquid foundation
- Derms don't recommend mixing both products will dilute the amount of SPF in the sunscreen, thus reducing its efficacy
The sunscreen is easy to apply and dries quickly without leaving a thick residue. It does not cause breakouts, feel greasy or sticky, or drip into the eyes. I have been using it daily for 2 weeks and it has added protection to my skin, which has improved significantly. If you have sensitive skin or sensory issues and are not fond of most sunscreens, this affordable and effective drugstore brand is worth a try. It may seem too good to be true, but it's not!
