I've been on the hunt for the perfect daytime lip balm with a high SPF ever since I discovered some sun spots forming on my lips. I was attracted to this product because of its high SPF factor, but I think that is also what is causing the thicker formulation that I don't love. Instead of gliding on smoothly, it has a bit of a gummier texture which doesn't feel as moisturizing. So while I don't doubt it provides high SPF protection, I'm going to keep searching for another lip balm with 20+ SPF and better moisturizing properties. -

I've been using Dove Beauty Bar as my bath soap for over 10 years. My skin is generally 'normal' however my legs can get dry and flaky in the harsh Canadian winters. Dove Beauty Bar does a great job of keeping me clean, my skin moisturized (no harsh stripping effect), and I love the smell! I'm not a fan of liquid body soaps (too much fumbling around with slippery containers in the shower), so the bath-sized bars are perfect for me, and last a long time (at least a month). While Dove Beauty Bar can be a bit more expensive than other brands, it's well worth the cost for me. -

I'm a bit of a lip balm fiend, constantly on the search for the perfect product to keep my dry lips happy. I finally tried EOS balm as they were on sale, and I was very disappointed. The product feels fine going on, but it barely kept my lips moisturized. My lips are not necessarily extremely dry, but in the Canadian winter they can get chapped and cracked, and EOS is just not up for the job. Plus, the shape is just darned awkward -- rolls around, bulky for purses, and not really optimal for applying. Sorry, EOS, I wanted to love you, but I will keep looking for my perfect lip balm. -

I have been using Cetaphil oily skin cleanser for probably over fifteen years -- it is one of the few products that I consider my 'holy grail' and will buy over and over again! My skin is combination but swings towards the oily side, especially in the t-zone. I had tried many different face washes but none struck that balance between effectively washing the oil off my face without causing extreme dryness. It is also great at removing makeup -- I wear foundation, concealer, powder, and blush and this cleanser does a fine job of taking it all off; I never have to use makeup remover. Sometimes I will swipe a bit of micellar water afterwards to catch any stray residue if it had been a very heavy makeup day, and even then, not a lot of has been left behind. For me, this is the perfect cleanser, and a bottle goes a long way (lasts a few months, and I use it twice a day). Highly recommended if you have oily skin! -
