I received the bottle of Promensil and was interested to try the product to see if it helped with my own perimenopausal symptoms (sleep issues, cycle irregularity/heaviness).
I will fully admit I was quite hesitant of trying the product as the health warnings on the label - such as "Do not use this product if you currently have or previously had breast cancer or if you have a predisposition to breast cancer, ", or if you have a family member with breast cancer" and if you have had any abnormal hormonal or gynecological diseases. Red Clover, the main ingredient, has been shown to help with menstrual symptoms but comes with it's own side effects (increased drowsiness, nausea, along with interactions with birth control, etc)
I did try taking it for a few days, and found it upset my stomach too much to continue taking. While this may be a great product for some - it, unfortunately, will not be something I can take!
- Product gifted by Promensil.

Very innovative new product!
I tend to get blisters on my feet from lots of walking/running/hiking and traditional bandaids do not always work for me - they fall off, not waterproof, and do not provide any healing properties.
I was very impressed with the bandaids that they stayed in place, even with activity and through the shower.
I’m not sure if they really helped with healing; but they did soothe my blisters.
I would purchase again; not for use with every cut with the price but for blisters or larger cuts

I really love that the Listerine Total Care is alcohol free - it has a nice, mild taste (as advertised) that is not at all overpowering and without the burning sensation that sometimes comes with the ones containing alcohol. I found my breathto be fresh after use, and that it was a long lasting effect. I really enjoy this product and will continue using. -

Very innovative new product!
With prime mosquito season upon us - the bug bites are MORE than applenty! These patches are a saving grace for the itchy spots that drive you crazy. I really love that they use a natural blend of Aloe, Witch Hazel, and Chamomile in the patches rather than anything chemical.
I tried them on my own self after a weekend at the lake where I came back with my share of bites - they do work really well to sooth itchy spots. I could see going through a package really quickly though if you were to need to cover multiple bites - like a pack in one weekend. I like that they are transparent as well - you really don't see them until you actually look closely.
My only flaw - the adhesive on a few were unusually sticky in one spot and a little painful to come off. I can actually see the exact location where it was on my arm after.

I received a bottle of the Aveeno Calm + Restore Daily Gel Moisturizer for free; but the glowing review ahead is my own! I tend to suffer from very dry, irritated skin that NEEDS a good quality lotion to combat that - the Aveeno gel moisturizer filled that role perfectly! I find it absorbs very very quickly without leaving a residue on my skin and leaving my skin soothed and moisturized for the day. Scent free and clean, it’s perfection for anyone with sensitive skin. #gotitfree -

I really enjoyed trying the Aveeno Calm & Restore - unlike other retinol containing products that can be VERY drying and cause irritation to the skin, the Aveeno Calm & Restore was extremely gentle while still working well to deliver the results I was looking for - hydrated skin that was brighter and showing less signs of aging (those pesky fine lines and wrinkles)
My impression - the serum absorbed quickly and easily into my skin without remaining tacky on my skin. There was no irritation, redness or dryness after using. Scent free, which is always a bonus! Right away my skin felt more hydrated, smoother and felt brighter to me.
I felt that with use, there was visibly plumping up the skin around my eyes, there was a slight reducing the appearance of dark circles (though I am VERY prone to them and they are always there) and a decrease in the crepiness after a week of using it each day.
All in all, a very light and soothing serum. This is definitely something I will be adding to my daily routine.

Ive always been one who is prone to dark circles under my eyes and have started to notice the fine lines, and wrinkles with age starting. I was really interested in trying the Aveeno Calm + Restore Age Renewal Eye Gel to see if it could live up to its claims of helping to diminish the darkness, as well as help to brighten the area around my eyes AND help with the fine lines and wrinkles.
My first impression - a little goes a long way! A great consistency to apply with ease; completely scent free and absorbed very quickly and easily into my skin without any ill effects like dryness or irritation.

I have seen the Sambucol brand and know of elderberry, but this was my first time trying them! I cant say that the product helped or didn't help after a few gummies, but I am a firm believer in zinc/vitamin c being helpful in the battle against these bugs so I feel like these WOULD work. I really enjoyed that the gummies were vegan/vegetarian friendly, as well as not containing any artificial flavors/colors/sweeteners as I try to purchase products that are a little more natural, but wasn't a fan of the fact the gummies contain vegetable oil. The sugar content is lower at 1g per gummy but still a little higher than Id like seeing as it's recommended for an adult to take up to 6 a day. That being said, I still actually found them a little tart, but not unpleasant. Price wise, I am not sold - with the recommendation of 3-6 gummies for an adult, you will go through a bottle in a week - its a wee bit pricy to keep on hand, in my opinion - and a reason why I probably wouldn't think of buying them first when I was looking for a product to help with cold/flu symptoms.

The Aveeno Calm + Restore Nourishing PHA Exfoliator was a surprise from the start; I was expecting a grainy product so the smooth liquidy product was a surprise - but I can see why it would be gentle without the abrasion.
Since using the product, I found my skin feels moisturized after washing rather than the tight feeling you sometimes experience with other products. I haven't experience any agitation my sensitive skin. It does a good job cleaning the surface of my face but i feel i could almost use a slightly deeper clean.
While I can't feel the exfoliating factor, i am impressed with its ability to protect the skin’s natural moisture barrier and that it agrees with my sensitive skin.

Every year around the start of fall time I suffer from itchy skin & eczema. The itch is often unbearable and I’ve struggled to find something to sooth my skin.
The AVEENO Calm+Restore Skin Therapy Balm has been a saving grace for being that something I was searching for - it’s worked wonderfully to moisturize my skin and relieve the constant itch! I am so impressed & relieved that I’ve finally found something to help.
While it is a thicker cream, I found it absorbed very well and a little goes a long way.
Highly recommended!
