After successful use of blemish patches with the same Hydrocolloid feature, I had high hopes for the new Band-Aid Pro Heal adhesive bandages. Let's start with the positives: the bandage size AND the hydrocolloid gel pad are quite large so I can use this for a lot of different sizes of cuts and scrapes, which is great for when I'm gardening to keep the dirt out and allow the wound to heal quickly. My disappointment in this product lies in the adhesion. I've used many Band-Aid branded adhesive bandages in my time and they stick to skin really well! However, this particular product took some work to get it to stick. I definitely wouldn't be able to reposition this bandage if I happened to place it wrong the first time, as it would never stick again. I have tried applying bandage to my skin and to itself around my finger but it starts coming off right away.
This product has its place in the First Aid kit, however it wouldn't be my go-to if I was being active or in another scenario where the bandage could fall off. In those cases, I'll stick to the original Band-Aid adhesive bandages.

The Lubriderm Unscented Lotion with Pro-Ceramide sample I received is just what I need! Being in the food manufacturing industry, scented personal care products are not allowed since the smell can transfer to the food products, but the frequent hand washing and use of cleaning chemicals can reek havoc on my hands. The creamy lotion from Lubriderm keeps my hands moisturized without being greasy so I can safely and effectively do my job. The lotion won't clog pores either, so I can use this as a facial moisturizer in a pinch! I love multi-use products! -

I received a free sample of Aveeno® Calm + Restore Age Renewal Serum and used it for a few weeks in the morning and evening. The serum is light and leaves my skin feeling hydrated. In the morning, my skin is smooth and soft, and makes me feel like I'm getting a lot of bang for my buck. After weeks of use, my skin seems brighter, smoother, and without irritation. I find I'm not using foundation nearly as much, which makes me excited for Spring and Summer when it gets too warm to wear heavy foundation. From the weight of the bottle to the lightweight feel of the product, this is an affordable luxury that I can integrate into my daily skincare routine. -

Affordable Luxury with Aveeno Calm + Restore Age Renewal Eye Gel. I received a free sample of the Age Renewal Eye Gel and even taking the product from the box felt luxurious. The container is heavy and solid, while the eye cream is light, smooth, and cooling. I used the eye gel for weeks to get the full benefits and it was lovely to use every evening and morning. The smile lines around my eyes have softened and I find I'm not using as much undereye makeup, sometimes none at all! The Aveeno Calm + Restore Age Renewal Eye Gel has quickly become a favourite skin care product in my routine. -

The Aveeno Calm + Restore Daily Face Moisturizer with Mineral SPF 30 has the benefits I'm looking for in a daily moisturizer to add to my daily routine. I have a hard time finding products with mineral based sunscreen that doesn't leave a white cast on my already pale skin or combines chemical sunscreens that end up staining my clothing. I was looking forward to trying this product since I already have some of the Aveeno Calm + Restore products in my skincare lineup and the results have been lovely. Each product, including this one, apply smoothly to my skin, don't leave a greasy feel, and make my skin visibly smoother, which I love as I'm trying to reduce my makeup use. Upon opening the tube, I was delighted that the cream has a slight pink tint to it, making it easy to blend for days I want to go makeup free, but is still light enough on my skin that I can layer my makeup over if I want.
Since adding the daily moisturizer to my skincare routine, my skin is silky smooth, moisturized, and I have confidence that my skin is protected from the UVA/UVB radiation to keep my skin in great shape.

The Hero Mighty Patch hydrocolloid patches are a handy addition to every skincare routine with each box providing great value with 36(!!) patches! For the inevitable skincare emergencies, these little dynamos will quickly fix blemishes overnight, like nothing ever happened. Each patch is large enough to cover the nastiest uninvited guest while disappearing into the texture and colour of your skin. A few times, I forgot the patch was on my face as I touched my face, but it stayed attached to the contours of my face to do its job while I got my beauty sleep. With the cost of everything increasing these days, I really appreciate that this product has 36 patches per box, providing value over competitors that may only have 12 patches per box.
These patches have lived up to their name and are my Skincare Heros!

I am an avid gardener so I get the odd bug bite, unexplained skin irritation from some plant, and wash my hands frequently so my skin gets dry and irritated. I try to avoid a lot of fragrances because of my workplace so finding a solution to the skin irritation issues without the fragrance and stickiness can be a challenge. When I first tried the Aveeno Calm + Restore Therapy Balm, I noticed the soft texture that didn't have any of the greasiness like some other deep moisturizing products, and zero fragrance! The balm absorbed into my skin right away but didn't feel any residue. The best place I've used this so far: on my wrist where my smart watch strap rubs against my skin, causing irritation and peeling. I put a small dab of the balm on my wrist before I put my smart watch on and within 3 hours, the redness is gone! I can already tell that the most irritated part of my wrist is calming and the skin is being restored, and in such a short time is miraculous! I am definitely keeping a bottle of this product in my skin care arsenal! -

I'm of the generation that had to scrub with a washcloth to get rid of dead skin, which doesn't feel good on the sensitive skin on my face. Thankfully, products have improved over the years and I was able to try the Aveeno Calm + Restore Nourishing PHA Exfoliator. This product is amazing for sensitive skin with zero fragrance and gentle enough to be used every day. After the first use, my face was soft and glowy, but maybe that was because it was the first time using it. I'm a skeptic at heart! Not so, as the next day when I cleansed with this product again, I was pleased to see the same glow! I have no irritation and my skin feels so lovely. My makeup applies so smoothly and I don't look as tired as I usually do at the beginning of the work week. Overall, this exfoliator is gentle and effective. -
