When I first tried these the alcohol smell was over powering so I thought these would be awful. It quickly faded though and the fact is they worked great! Probably my favourite retinol product I have tried to date. With regular use my skin glows and my fine lines have definitely been reduced. -
Bubly sparkling water strawberry
I haven't met a Bubly I didn't like! There are definitely better flavours but this will still hit the spot when there is nothing else. It's definitely a synthetic strawberry flavour but I like of like that because it tastes like strawberry candies.

I had never used an oil version of retinol before Chickadvisor sent me this Rapid Wrinkle Repair complimentary to review.
The oil was easy to apply and absorbed quickly. I did notice a difference in my skin after a week and it did seem to help my fine lines but not so much the deeper ones (which obviously I don't expect miracles but the claim was made on the packaging - maybe with further use I will notice more). The product itself was great, didn't cause irritation, and worked well!
I am not in love with the scent and the bottle dropper thing was easy to use but not great. I also found it unusual that the packing advised AM use when from what I know about retinol it should generally be applied in the PM. I'm not an expert by any means though.
All in all I would definitely purchase this again!

I recieved this complimentary to try and review from Chickadvisor. I'm so glad I did because I generally steer clear of physical scrubs but this one was really gentle.
I really felt that it did help the retinol oil work better. My skin was soft, glowy, and pores were reduced after only a few days of use. It said it would help with deep wrinkles and although I did see an improvement in my fine lines I didn't notice a difference with the deeper ones using this with the retinol oil.
This is easily a new favourite cleanser just because of how well it worked with the retinol which is always a favourite in my anti aging arsenal.
The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the scent. It wasn't bad, and I don't mind scented products it just wasn't great.

I normally reach for ibuprofen when I am experiencing pain so I wasn't sure how well the Tylenol Rapid Release Gels would work for me when I recieved them to try complimentary from FamilyRated.
I was really impressed with how quickly I experienced relief. They kicked in quite quickly compared to similar products. I was able to get on with my day and it definitely lasted a long time as well. I often don't turn to acetaminophen products because I found they're less effective for cramps and migraines but these definitely worked well for me in both situations.

I love this toner!
It makes me glow and it makes me bright! My pores are smaller my fine lines are less noticeable! What's not to love! It's super thin and easy to apply with a cotton pad. Start slow to see how your skin will react and work up to regular use.
You get a generous amount for a great price! This is 100% a staple in my routine!

I was surprised how thin this mask is - It dried a lot faster than it stated but I still left it for the recommended amount of time.
My skin after a few uses was definitely a lot brighter and had a nice glowy appearance.
It's a little expensive but it lasts a long time and I feel it's worth it because the results were great!

This is my first facial mist! I read mixed reviews so I wasn't sure what to expect.
I am not big on rose scents but I like this - my husband thinks it smells sour though lol
I really like that it's a moisturizing toner. It is super light and fresh and nice as a pick me up mid day as well. I didn't feel there were any noticeable changes to my skin though.
I don't love the price point and I feel there are probably better less expensive products out there so I probably won't purchase this one again.

I wasn't sure what to expect but with so many great reviews I had to try it.
I thought I would need to use as a double cleanse first step because it does go on like an oil cleanser, it gets all melty and slippery, then legitimate magic happens and once water hits it rinses so clean! My face felt totally cleansed but not tight and stripped. The biggest seller for me was even though I didn't do or need a second wash after all my makeup was gone. Like gone gone. Usually in the morning I still end up with mascara residue after my shower. With this NOTHING! SOLD!

I was super disappointed that this product was discontinued in Canada.
This got me started on my The Ordinary addiction. I noticed a huge difference in my skin tone and fine lines when I added this to my routine. The formula is easy to work with and the bottle lasts forever. My favourite aspect is the price point!
I thankfully had a couple spares stored so I won't run out any time soon lol
