Olay Olay Body Ultra Moisture Body Wash With Shea Butter

Olay Complete Body Wash with Vitamins for Extra Dry Skin, 12 fl ozI am very pleased with this product. Ocassionaly I would get a few dry patches and this product eliminated that. In the winter my skin tends to get dry and once again, this product reduces the dryness. So far, this is the best body wash I have ever used.

Olay's complete body wash for extra dry skin is a soap-free formulation with Shea Butter and vitamins E, A and B3 which are supposed to penetrate the skin and condition the skin for 24 hours. It also is advertised as rinsing clean.

This is a very pleasant body wash that turns into a gentle, nourishing creamy lather on the skin. The scent is hard to describe, it is very mild and does not stay on the skin. Perhaps a very light honey and floral scent? The lather rinses clean as advertised. Afterward the skin feels fresh and moisturized--but I still need moisturizer afterwards.

Complete Body Wash is a high quality, mild shower gel which I recommend for dry skin. Watch out when you squeeze the bottle--the body wash comes out very fast and only a little of this rich gel is needed.

If you need something to bathe with on a daily basis that isn't drying, this is a good product and is reasonably priced.

I bought it because I needed something I could use that wouldn't dry out my skin, especially during the winter.

My only wish is that the wash would have been more moisturizing. I mean, if you're going to the trouble of putting vitamins in the formula, then I want my skin to feel like I've put lotion on as well. Don't get me wrong, the product didn't leave my skin dry, but I thought that since there were vitamins for extra dry skin, I wouldn't have to use lotion after my shower.

So I gave the wash 4 stars because it left my skin feeling clean and not dry, but it would have gotten 5 stars if those vitamins would have kicked in and eliminated the need for lotion after the shower. (Maybe I'm asking too much of the vitamins.)

Ive never given a product such a low rating, but when the shipping is more than the cost of the product, I find it hard to swallow.

I moved recently to a place where it's dryer, colder, and less humid. I searched for body washes and lotions that would help my dry skin, with no luck, until I found this beauty. This body wash literally eliminates the need for lotion, for me anyway. My skin is moisturized all day long, and it is noticeable within the first two uses.

Dermisa Soap Sulfur Facial 3 oz.

Dermisa Soap Sulfur Facial 3 oz.I decided to try two other brands and compare them with the two brands that I have been using for a long time. Ouch, did I make a mistake to give them a try!

This is an imported South American brand and is real cheap quality like those little itty bitty Motel 6 type that is junk.

I will forever now stick with the two best brands that my dermatologist recommends Stieffel and also SulfurSoap found on the web.

It is a world of difference.

One day my mom bought this soap from Walgreens, but i was skeptical about this product as i am allergic to Sulfa based antibiotics. I looked up online to see if people who are allergic to Sulfa are allergic to its pure compound of it, studies showed that its most likely not. So, i gave it a try, and it truly does work! Now i didn't know that this product is from South America, but i don't think that should make the quality inferior? Sulfur is a drying agent, to dry the skin and bacteria on your face that causes acne. Sulfur is also the oldest know remedy to treat acne. I am not into the whole, lets put chemically lab created stuff on my face, so learning about this really boosted me into trying this!

Now i know that the drying part of it sounds bad, but like all new products your face will get adjusted. It took about a week to week and half for my face to adjust and moisture to retain. Within that week i notice my zits diminishing rapidly, i also noticed my scars fading. So i don't know the true experience of the other person review, but for its price, why not give it a try?

Another thing to add! If you wear silver jewerly while showering take it off. Sulfur reacts with the silver and tarnishes it. I have a tiffany's silver heart necklace that my BF gave to me. Now i have had it for some time and did gain some wear to it, but never looked tarnished. After a while using this product i notice it turned a bit to another color. I did clean it with Hydrogen Peroxide and toothpaste, (that seem to do the trick to rid of it). But if you wear precious metals. Be wary.

CosMedix Clarity Serum 1 oz/30 ml

CosMedix Clarity Serum 1 oz/30 mlPhytoclear works great as a spot treatment and I have even put it on ingrown hairs, yes it works. Reduces inflamation (swelling), redness on the skin surface and even caused my skin to recover quicker from a breakout with the use of Cosmedix clarity. Both are good products to use together. The Phytoclear is a little sappy and sticky almost like tree sapp, with a nice fresh strong sent. This stuff works great, apply it at morning, night, middle of the day, it will do the job and absorbs into the skin as if not even there. A little goes a long ways for spot treatment, but if you plan on applying to the entire face, I'm not sure if a bottle will last a 1-2 months, your guess is as good as mine. I will be buying more though.

I have used this product for several years and get many complements on how good my skin looks. If you have slightly oily skin, I highly recommend. Keeps occasional breakouts at bay. I wear very little makeup now. Couldn't do that before Clarity. I am 53.

La Mer Cleansing Gel

La Mer Cleansing Gel 6.7 ozI have *extremely* sensitive skin most products irritate, burn, or dry my skin La Mer Cleansing Gel is the only face wash that I have used in the last ten years. I tried many different products over the years before finally finding La Mer, and this product is simply the best.

I break out with most exfoliating scrubs and I have discovered that if I use the cleansing gel with my Clarisonic Pro it feels like I have had a professional facial!

It is pricey, but you only have to use one pump of product to wash your face (two if you have on heavy makeup). It works and really is worth the price!

This cleanser is mild and does the job. I have tried the other La Mer cleansers and either my face was too dry or too greasy. This cleanses thoroughly with my clarisonic. This cleanser is also good for removing makeup.

THAYER Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner 11.50 Ounces

THAYER Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner 11.50 OuncesI'm not one to rave about a product, but this toner really does deserve a great review. I use toner for two reasons; clear acne and clean off makeup. All of my old toners have left me very drynormally because they contain alcohol. Not only is that not the case with the rose petal, it actually has aloe vera which is a moisturizing agent instead of a drying agent. Jackpot!! I'm able to use this with ease and no worries. My skin isn't being damaged as a result of cleaning it anymore...

Since I am in my 30s now, I do take extra precautions with my skin other than just the toner. I also use retinol cream(Witch Hazel Rose Petal Toner with Aloe Vera + FREE Retinol Cream) to keep my skin firm and reduce/help eliminate new wrinkles. My experience has been greatless noticable lines around my eyes and mouth, firmer cheeks. No greasy residue or residual effects either. Toner and the cream go hand in hand.

I'm addicted! totally addicted. I ran out this week and couldn't bring myself to throw out the bottle until the new bottle arrived in the mail, hoping I could eek out a few more skin nourishing droplets.

you have got to try it! I have insane combination skin, with a forehead that gets so greasy you'd think someone had drained 6 pounds of bacon on it and cheeks that get dry, red and patchy if the wind blows a little too hard on them. I dampen a cotton pad with this and stroke it across my skin, and the results are amazing cheeks are softened, forehead is cleared of shiny greasiness and relieved of the bumps that can so often be found there. it's alcohol free and doesn't dry out my skin, either. the smell is an artificial rose smell, which may not be for everyone, but others have remarked that it has that clean soap smell instead. the last bottle I bought lasted me for about 9 months of once daily swabbings, plus whatever portion my daughter has used, so it's also a bargain, even counting the shipping cost!

I've been having a lot of trouble finding good products made by companies that don't do any animal testing, so was I relieved to find that the manufacturer's website states that "all thayers products are vegetarian and never tested on animals". yay!

Thayers Witch Hazel-Rose Petal alcohol-free toner can also be used to clean your makeup brushes. It contains some of the essential ingredients found in a popular makeup artist brand of brush cleaner...witch hazel (a cleansing ingredient) and grapefruit seed extract (known for it's antibacterial properties). What it doesn't have in common with the MA brand is alcohol, which is a very drying ingredient, both for the face and natural hair brushes. Try it; I think you will agree that this is a great multi-tasker product!

I'm a facial product junkie (hello, Sephora addict!) I'm always trying new skin care products and looking for something that will make my combination skin clean, balanced, and fresh. This stuff is by far the best toner I have ever tried. The Clinique stuff always dried out my skin too much (because of the alcohol). And then some toners that are alcohol-free don't actually do anything to clean your skin, so they are worthless. It's hard to find a good one, but this is it!

I use this product after using my cleanser because I want to make sure I get any residue or debris of make-up off. This gets my skin smooth and clean without drying it out. Plus, I find the subtle rose scent to be quite pleasant.

I will absolutely buy this again.

Want THAYER Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner 11.50 Ounces Discount?

A self proclaimed cosmetic skeptic, I've been using this for 3 months now. I am 48 years old and honestly my skin really does looks years younger. Thayer's witch hazel w/rose has evened out my skin tone, gotten rid of red patches, and oily t-areas. Also, wrinkles are less noticeable now because the witch hazel cleans out the dirt, oils & make-up trapped inside the fine lines which always makes the lines look worse. I also use it on my neck and it has tightened up the skin under my jaw as well.

I went out to the lake today and throughout the day I spritzed my face with a bottle of toner I kept in my cooler. What a delightful treat from the heat!

I like the soft rose scent. It's not too overpowering to me and I follow it morning and evening with a moisturizer. To make application easier, I clean out an old moisturizer jar and put a stack of round gauze pads inside. Then I pour the witch hazel into the jar and cover. The pads are ready & hassel free.

Good thing is it's cost effective, lasts a long time & if you don't like it you're not out a whole lot of money give it to a neighbor for her or him to try!

Shea Terra Organics Baobab Face & Body Oil

Shea Terra Organics Baobab Face & Body OilI have used all kinds of facial creams on my dry, sensitive skin. I stay within the organic line of beauty products and could name many that I've tried with satisfactory results. This cream is absolutely the best! As creams vary with respect to consistency, aroma, color, and contents, Shea Terra, it appears really did their homework in creating this emollient-like formula. As someone who has studied and uses aromatherapy products as a habit, I know the advantage of using the right oils and staying away from preservatives. The distilled rose water, rose absolute, seabuckthorn CO2, red bush tea and rosehips oil blend exquisitely with the high quality shea butter in this cream to provide smooth, wonderfully aromatic and great feeling coverage. On more than one occasion I've received compliments from colleagues that my face was just "glowing!" I tend to get dry during the day and haven't yet had to provide more than the coverage I apply in the morning. I do not wear any makeup, yet my dry and sensitive skin, I have to admit myself, looks quite flawless as a result of just a few weeks use of this superb cream. It could be packaged better, however then I am sure it would cost alot more. Having had a past, though long ago, of using high-end facial products, this one beats them all-it is modestly affordable for the truly marvelous product that I would pay alot more for. So, I am delighted with the price. I have been recommending it to all of my friends and relatives who I continue to prod to go natural! Yeah! Shea Terra! This product is more than I expected and I'm sticking with it.

After using this oil, I experienced a positive change in my skin's tone and texture. This supplies the perfect amount of moisture to my skin. It is softening, healing, has a pleasant odor, and is the only oil I have ever used on my face that has not clogged my pores. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone I know.

I just received this and will add on after a few weeks of using it. This is a nice smooth texture, only need a little bit to cover your face, the smell is not off-putting, and for my face being oily combination, it definitely did not add to the 'oily' factor. Look forward to seeing what it does, my face is very quick to rejecting facial products, thus far no red spots or itchiness! :)

I love how light this oil feels on my skin. I use it as a face and neck moisturizer. Just a few drops is all I need and although it leaves my face a little shiny and oily at first, it soon absorbs; and, the benefits to my skin are really wonderful. My skin tones evened out. And the darkness under my eyes went away. That was a real surprise! My skin feels so much smoother now. Recently, I asked my massage therapist to use the Shea Terra Organics Baobab oil on my skin, she was glad to use it and likes it because it is so light. I feel like my skin is getting nourished naturally. I HIGHLY recommend this product.

Follicleanse Me Plus Shampoo

Follicleanse Me Plus ShampooI had little pimple like bumps on my scalp for about two years. I tried everything out there, even some prescription shampoos. Nothing worked. Within 2 days of using this the bumps cleared up. I use a very mild conditioner with it and have no problems with dryness. If you go to the product's web site you'll find more good reviews and information.

Bumps got even worse after several weeks of use switching from an anti-bacterial shampoo.

I'm not saying it won't work for you, but there it is.

And--look--it smells really nice, but it didn't do anything good for my hair texture either.

If you have scalp acne of any kind, you might want to look elsewhere.

Even though I tend to have oily hair (and was hoping the zinc PCA would help in this regard), I found this shampoo to be a bit drying. Plus, I developed odd bumps along my neck. Fortunately, the seller honored their money-back guarantee and issued me a refund right away. Perhaps the regular formula would be better for a person with non-dandruff issues.

For several years now I have been afflicted with severe Seborrheic Dermatitis of the scalp. I have used Ketoconazole, Coal Tar, Sulfur, Zinc, Clotrimazole, along with a host of antibiotics, and all have had limited success. I believe that my condition has the ability to adapt to treatment and make it negligible. Follicleanse, in combination with Vitamin E gel, does help somewhat to control the symptoms, without unduly drying my scalp. This product is also highly economical because only a small amount is needed to produce a lather. The solution does not sting or burn, and has a pleasant scent. When faced with a condition that is difficult to treat, trial-and-error becomes necessary. For those suffering from scalp affliction as I do, and have tried numerous other remedies, Follicleanse is a worthwhile alternative. It does provide relief, if only temporary.

lavera basis Cleansing Gel, 4.1 oz

lavera basis Cleansing Gel, 4.1 ozThis cream gel is the only product of its kind that my wife swears by and uses on a regular basis.

I had perfect skin my whole life until I turned 32. Then, out of the blue with no other changes, I developed adult-onset acne, to the point where I didn't want to leave the house, or had to cover up with so much makeup, I looked like a freak. I spend THOUSANDS of dollars on estheticians and their recommendations, including proactive, to no avail, until one recommended THIS product.

It is a night-and-day difference. I discovered that I had sensitive skin all of a sudden. I have been living by this product for the last 3 years and PRAY my skin does not change again and it doesn't work. What I have discovered about skin is that everyone's is drastically different, and so what works for some will make other's worse.

This is an organic, natural product without artificial additives or bad ingredients. It is gentle and made for sensitive skin. It may just be your miracle product, too!!

I even use it on rough heels sometimes. Great product that I'm so glad I've found again.

This is a good scrub but the apricots are too big. Make sure you close your pores back with cold water and a great toner after using this scrub. If you're an apricot fan than I do recommend this product.

Art of Appreciation Gift Baskets Large Lavender Renewal Spa, Bath and Body Set

Art of Appreciation Gift Baskets Large Lavender Renewal Spa, Bath and Body SetThis was a gift to my wife for valentine's day and she really liked it. I was worried the lavender would be overpowering on some of the products, but it's a good balance between noticeable and pleasant. The sponges/scrubbers are big enough to get the job done about the size of a hand each. The mix of items is great for enjoying a bath and lathering on some moisturizers afterward. The potpourri is bigger than you can tell from picture at least a liter in volume. The containers are all pretty nice and easy to use. None of the included items seem cheap or useless. Finding a nice bathrobe and some candles to compliment this gift basket would really make a special romantic present.

I purchased this gift basket for my wife as a valentine's day gift. The fragrance after just opening the Amazon box was delightful and everything was organized well. There are two primary reasons I am displeased with this item. First, the container appeared in the photo to be a hard, durable basket made of some material at least resembling stone. With that hope, I looked forward to being able to use the container as a decorative bowl on an end table or in the kitchen. However, the container I received was no more than cardboard, easily bent and hardly more decorative than the Amazon box that it was shipped in. With this considered, we come to my second issue with this item...the price. This item is roughly $20-$25 overpriced in my opinion. With a nice stone-like container this item could pretty easily bring the $65 I've paid for it.

Now, a few bits of information to be fair to the seller:

1. I am a man, not an expert in bath soaps and bathing utensils, and am not familiar with retail pricing of each individual product contained within the basket. All I know is that it costs me under $5 for a bottle of Old Spice Body Wash and a couple more dollars for a wash cloth.

2. I must reemphasize, once more, I AM NOT AN EXPERT IN PRICING of women's bathing products.

3. I won't be giving my wife the basket until Valentine's Day tomorrow, and her reaction is what really reveals the true value of the basket.

The product doesn't look worth the price I paid for it; the packaging does not look like the picture! It comes in the cardboard container all mushed down and is wrapped in a cheap looking way.

I'm glad I didn't have this shipped directly to my recipient so I have the chance to make it look appealing, maybe I'll try to sell it at a yard sale. Yuck, I'm not happy, could have picked this up at Walmart for $20.

TWICE, not once, but TWICE my family ordered this product, presuming that it would arrive intact. Unfortunately, TWICE we discovered that the body lotion in the first shipment had been punctured andan 1/4 of the product ALREADY USED.

In the second shipment, the body lotion AND the shower gel had been punctured and 1/4 used.

This not only is a huge disappointment in quality control, but a hygienic issue. Frankly, it is disgusting to think that someone had dipped their fingers into body lotion and shower gel previously, and then nicely wrapped up the package as if nothing was wrong.

I am extremely disappointed at 'Art of Appreciation's complete lack of Quality Control. I am NEVER buying from them again.

Burt's Bees Citrus & Ginger Root Body Wash, 12 Ounce

Burt's Bees Citrus & Ginger Root Body Wash, 12 OunceVery uplifting fragrance. I enjoy this product. It is such a relief after experiencing so many phony flavors and scents. Has a pungent stimulating radiance.

The product is a good cleaner/exfoliate. However, it smells uckynot gross but strong and unpleasant. I won't buy it again.

I like the body wash--doesn't take much to work up a good lather and leaves my skin feeling good. I was a little surprised at the scent though. The citrus is grapefruit, and if I had read the label I would have known that. But I assumed it would be orange-y like most of the other citrus ginger products I have bought from other companies. But that was totally my fault for not reading more carefully about the product. So if you are looking for an orange scent, this is not it. I don't like the grapefruit scent at all.

AINHOA Luxe Gold Day and Night Cream, 1.7 Fluid Ounce

AINHOA Luxe Gold Day and Night Cream, 1.7 Fluid OunceSo I had received the serum and after two weeks of using that bought this lotion. Why do I love it, my face is soft and dewy and it feels firmer. I was really ecstatic today when my coworker who was celebrating her 25 th birthday had some signs up around the office and when the fed ex man came in he wished me a happy 25th birthday. I'm 34 or celebrating the 7th anniversary of my 27th birthday. I don't mind getting old, I'm just not so sure I'm ready to look it or feel it. I can really feel the tightness that comes with these rum and the lotion is very hydrating and keeps my skin looking young and dewy. I love it. The smell is light and pleasant, I wear it at night and day. There is a slight shimmer in the lotion from the gold in it and that helps me look a bit more radiant.
