I'm just starting to foray into the retinol world now that I'm done breastfeeding, and I've got to say I love Love this from Kate Somerville! I've been plagued by consistent blocked pores on my nose and chin which frequently turned into painful acne even with thorough washing and treatment, plus wearing a mask doesn't help. In the third day of using this serum I already felt my skin was smoothing out and the blocked pores were so much easier to extract. I had a nasty pimple near my upper lip, totally inflamed and painful, and this serum seriously took off three weeks of healing and flattened the intruder in less than a week. It's completely accelerating the time it takes my skin to heal and I love it!!! Only drawback is the dryness I'm experiencing now, but that easily alleviated with a good moisturizer, and this bottle is quite expensive. But you only need a small amount so I would say it's worth the price. I'm loving the results so far and it's only been three weeks. Can't wait to see the long term results and hoping it will fade some PIH marks from a while back! -

Lately my skin has been extra sensitive, mostly due to getting sunburned and not wearing a hat. Really needed a quenching hydrating lotion or cream but I've also been breaking out on small pimples so my usual winter creams was not the best option. Went to Shoppers to find a fix and grabbed the last Cerave moisturizing lotion - this stuff saved my skin on my early twenties! I knew it was the right one to pick this time as I vividly remember how aaaamazing this lotion feels on thirsty skin. A drink of water for your face! Light lotion, mild scent if any, ceramides to fix your skin barrier, all in a giant bottle for under $20. Love love love. Three days on from my sunburn and I'm nearly back to normal with happy skin. Can't mess with tried and true products! I hope Cerave never discontinues this! -

I have naturally dry skin especially on my hands, especially since the pandemic stared I've been using sanitizer multiple times a day which has fried out my hands even more. My hands were so dry some parts were actually starting to crack and with the winter season my cuticles are just not happy. I was lucky enough to get to try this new moisturizer from aveeno and I am hooked! I previously religiously used the aveeno skin relief hand cream (the blue one) but I find this one is even more calming and moisturizing for my hands. The dry patches are literally healed after two days of use where my former hand cream just temporarily moisturized my hands. I love this one is for sensitive skin, does not sting dry patches and no scent whatsoever. Also who doesn't love paraben-free, phtalate-free and steroid free creams. Love it! I am going to buy the full size bottle to use on my body in the winter too. It's completely replaced the blue bottle version for me! -

When I was selected to try and review #BANDAIDxPOLYSPORIN hydro seal bandaids I thought it would be a small amount of thicker polysporin in the mesh parts of a regular bandaid. It's actually a clear gel like substance in the ENTIRE underside of the bandaid! I like that much more as you can cover more of a wound area than a ~1x1 cm area! I burnt my arm quite badly recently and it started to blister so I am using this bandaid to help my skin heal faster and I believe it does help. It's certainly more comfortable wearing this than without and I love that I'm getting polysporin healing properties with it. As a mom to a clumsy toddler boy I know these will come in handy and I will continue to buy these from now on. -

I got this free in exchange for my review. This is an aluminum free antiperspirantvwhich is safe for nursing mom's too. I prefer aluminum free antiperspirant but have a hard time finding one that actually works and doesn't just mask smells. I think this one does the job. Granted I'm not running a marathon every day but so far it's kept me pretty dry chasing after my toddler. :) I'm not sure what the aroma is, I thought maybe vetiver, but its definitely fresh. -

I got this for free in exchange for my review. This moisturizer consistency is between a lotion and a cream, very refreshing on the skin and smells floral-y. I'm battling some flare-up from an allergic reaction right now but it didn't sting at all. In fact, I've used it nightly for the past week and it might have even helped speed up the healing. I like it! -

I didn't expect much from this, thought it would make my hair feel either dry or too heavy. It actually made my hair soft and very clean! It's a clear liquid, not usual for "dry damaged hair" shampoo that's usually creamy, and the scent is light, like aloe. It's a good shampoo and worked well for me. -

This is by far my go to brand for Earl grey. It has the right amount of bergamot and lavender, whereas other brands seem lacking in either bergamot or lavender. I love the aroma so much I always keep a bag holding the tea bag for at least a day so I can sniff it. lol The only brand I use for my at home London Fog's! Love this one. -
