Nivea Touch of Serenity Moisturizing Body Wash, 16.9 oz. (Pack of 3)

Nivea Touch of Serenity Moisturizing Body Wash, 16.9 oz.First, let me say that I really do love the product itself. This body wash is light in fragrance and feels great when you shower with it. I am a big fan of Nivea products in general and this was just another on the list of body washes that I had not tried.

My complaint is that the entry for the item says "Pack of 3". The picture with the entry says "Pack of 2". I was not sure until the item arrived which I was going to be getting, 2 or 3. Well, it turned out the picture was right. I got 2.

Even though I do love the product, there are limits on what I will pay for them. Getting two bottles for right at $18 is beyond my limit, so I will not be purchasing more of this particular item until such time as there is a price shift downward of a measurable (meaning significant) amount.

Peter Thomas Roth Moisture Infusion Facial Bar, 6 Count

Peter Thomas Roth Moisture Infusion Facial Bar, 6 CountI am allergic to soap,so this find has been the best discovery!!! Have been using it for a month and will never switch to another brand again.It's a shame that I had to wait 60 years to find an answer that was not available or offered by any Doctor.I went to a family wedding and stayed at a Hilton Hotel and that is how I solved my problem with soap. This was the brand used at the hotel and I fell in love with it and won't use anything else.

The bars are very small and will only last 5 days. Expensive for their size but will buy the larger size in the future.

Buy Peter Thomas Roth Moisture Infusion Facial Bar, 6 Count Now

Peter Thomas Roth makes some of my favorite products. I used to use Dove in the winter when my skin gets dry and I thought it was o.k. Then I tried this and I was amazed how hydrated my skin felt after using this facial bar. I became a believer. These bars are small but each one lasts for weeks and they really do make your skin feel soft and smooth. And that's not easy to say about 55 yearold skin!

So Essential Himalayan Crystal Salt Deodorant and Body Treatment Stone

So Essential Himalayan Crystal Salt Deodorant and Body Treatment StoneI've been searching for a safe and effective alternative to antiperspirant deodorant. Salt has a fairly good reputation for it's cleansing and healing properties so I thought what the heck, I'll give this a shot. Well, I tried this salt stone for over a week and it just didn't work for me. For one, it does sting. The first time I used it was just after shaving (it's not that I'm dumb, it's just that I really do need to shave my armpits at some point). Well, I'm not kidding you, my armpits turned pink and burned for more than a good 10 minutes. The next 2 days -without shaving -weren't much better. I then tried shaving extra carefully and applying the deodorant very gently. That helped, but only just a little. The bar itself is very scratchy and I think I must have been scratching up my underarms with it during applications. I then tried just wetting the stone and rubbing my hands over the bar and applying the salt to my armpits with just my hands. That seemed to work the best in keeping the burning down to a minimum.

But my real problem with this product is that it left my underarms sticky and smelly. Even applying it twice a day didn't help reduce the odor. I'm not an extremely smelly person and I wasn't even doing moderately sweat-inducing activities. I just can't get this product to work for me. I have found that I am better off not using any deodorant at all than to use this stone. I pretty much smell the same whether I use the stone or not, but at least I don't have to contend with sticky underarms as well. I am now searching for another alternative and am going to try the Nourish Orange Deodorant stick next. I think (hope) it will at least work better than this salt stone did. Maybe I can somehow still use this bar in the bath or shower to cleanse my skin so it doesn't completely go to waste. [UPDATE: I like my Nourish Orange Deodorant stick soooo much better, hooray!]

One final note -the picture of this product is misleading. It shows 2 bars with rounded edges. What I received was one bar of medium thickness, with no rounded edges, which probably makes it more difficult to use under the arms. I've emailed the seller (TigerDive) about this but I get the impression they are not interested in correcting the problem unfortunately. This definitely makes me leery about buying anything else from these guys again. This shouldn't be a problem though, because after being burned a couple of times from 3rd party sellers on Amazon, I am no longer buying health and beauty products on Amazon unless the product maker and seller are one and the same and I can verify that the ingredients and product description are accurate.

Although I did receive this product in a timely manor, I was not completely satisfied with the product itself. I would like you to know that I had been using a Thai Crystal before using this Solay Salt Stone. My issue is that It BURNED my skin when applied. I realize that freshly shaved skin and the salt stone are not advisable BUT even on unshaved skin it still burned. I bought two of these-one for a friend. We both threw ours out :(

Buy So Essential Himalayan Crystal Salt Deodorant and Body Treatment Stone Now

Yes, this product will sting when applied directly to the skin especially if it's done immediately after a shave. It's rock salt like table salt sodium chloride, as opposed to alum, which is what most of the deodorant and post-shaving stones are made of. If you want no sting, alum is great, and effective. If you specifically want rock salt, alum just won't do. So I was glad to find this. It's true that the bar is just a clean-cut rectangle without the rounded edges shown in the photo. It's quite pretty, though not evenly pink, as shown, but white with pink streaks.

DevaCare No-Poo Cleanser

DevaCare Cleanser, No-Poo, 32-Ounce BottleInspired by the infomercial, I tried Wen for my naturally curly, fine, dry hair. It worked and I loved it, but about every three weeks I just had to use a shampoo that lathered to feel clean. It seemed Wen left a nasty, gooey buildup. A curly-haired friend recommended Deva Curl No Poo with Deva One Condition and I've been using them for several months. I "wash" my hair every day and have noticed no buildup. A liter bottle lasts about eight weeks for me (I have relatively short hair). Just a note, my hairdresser last week said she can't believe how "healthy" my hair is these days. She, too, has curly hair and is going to try this product.

UPDATE November, 2012: My multiracial adopted daughter, now almost 4-years-old, has "ethnic" hair that is very difficult to care for. I have tried every imaginable combination of products and the Deva Care/Curl (I swear they seem the same to me) No Poo is the best for her hair. We use it every week. It seems to cut through all the argon oil and shea butter that I use for daily styling. It is not "no tears", so when I'm cleansing her hair, I give her a wet washcloth to hold over her eyes. I am a huge fan of the Deva line.

I have dry, curly hair that is colored and have been using this shampoo and the Deva One Condition since Sept '10. My hair is softer, does not frizz and even shines. I am over 50 and always have cut my hair short. Now I am trying to grow my hair and may be able to accomplish this without going crazy with bad hair days! My 23 year old daughter whose hair was trashed from color and medication uses these products and has also seen a great improvement in the condition of her hair. Also, a great price compared to the beauty supply store. LOVE THIS STUFF!

I totally love this shampoo. I have been using for over a month now. my hair is never frizzy or dry. Always feels smooth and full of body. I don't think I have had a bad hair day since. I color my hair and if definitely seems like the color holds better. I am recommending it to all of my friends.

If you have eczema or psoriasis on your scalp, you know how hard it is to stop the itching, flaking, and even bleeding. I tried every shampoo --including all the "stinky" medicated ones--and nothing helped. I had resorted to slathering lotion on the worst spots....not the best look in hair styles. I had a hair appointment one day and knowing I was about to have my hair washed, cut and styled anyway, I decided to go to my appointment with lotion still in my hair. My stylist looked at my lotioned-up "do" and said, "I can help." She worked what felt like MORE lotion into my hair and said it was DevaCare's No-Poo Shampoo. It was weird because there was ZERO lather. I couldn't imagine how a soft, slippery lotion could actually CLEAN my hair and scalp. But I couldn't believe how soothing it felt AND how good its light citrus fragrance smelled. After she cut and styled my hair, it looked and felt incredibly clean, soft and full. She said it was extra gentle for colored (like mine) or curly (not mine) hair. I never bought a "salon-type" shampoo before but I went home with a bottle of No-Poo Shampoo and a bottle of the DevaCare Conditioner. It's pretty pricey stuff, so I was glad to find this extra-large size online---much more economical. (I just had to be careful to make sure I was ordering the DevaCARE shampoo, and not the DevaCURL product.) I've been using No-Poo exclusively for almost a year now and will never let anything else touch my hair. Oh yeah...and I've had no itching scalp since using it.

My hair has been through a lot, between straightening, coloring, and using every type of shampoo and conditioner imaginable (even using the "no-poo" method while using cheap hair products, and pulling hairs out of my head!). I started using no-poo on my sister's recommendation, and it is amazing. The minute I put it in my hair, it felt softer. I used to shampoo every week or so, but I have been using this every day with only good results. The mint-rose smell is also amazing! My boyfriend uses this as well, and i love the smell and feel of his hair :)

Nano Tech Reusable Face and Body Cloths (set of 6)

Nano Tech Reusable Face and Body ClothsI absolutely love these cloths! I just received these as a gift a few months ago and after using them I had the great idea to give these out as x-mas presents. I hate to use products on my face and these take off all your make up with just water! Plus they make your skin so soft. A great deal for beautiful skin...

These washcloths are great and so simple to use! Keeps my face routine nice and quick. All you need is water and they take your makeup right off. They are right when they say you don't need to use any cleanser. I only use water and my face still feels clean after using just the cloths. My face has looked great since using. These are also great to give as gifts. I gave a set to my mom and she commented on how great the packaging isperfect for Christmas presents!

Buy Nano Tech Reusable Face and Body Cloths (set of 6) Now

I was lucky enough to have received Nano as a gift. Have you ever found a product that left you with the question, "What did I do with out this?" For me this is one of those instances. I don't wear make up, but I do love to exfoliate. The first time I used this product, I'll be honest, I was skeptical; I thought, "This feels like a normal cloth." It wasn't until after my face had dried that I could feel a true and obvious difference. My face felt very clean and restored with energy. My skin could feel the fresh air and was, to me, breathing healthily. I have been using Nano for about a month now and I have seen a great improvement; I have far fewer blemishes and an overall even skin tone. I would recommend Nano to anyone who is interested in clean healthy skin. It has worked wonders naturally.

I use these to remove my makeup and wash my face. They don't necessarily exfoliate like a muslin cloth but they work to clean your face. They are super soft and clean up easily in warm/hot water. I highly recommend.

Want Nano Tech Reusable Face and Body Cloths (set of 6) Discount?

Love these cloths. I have used them for about a year and have not noticed any change in the way they function. They are awesome. I hope when I do need additional cloths that they are still available. I don't know what I would do without them, now.

I have given these as gifts to my mother, daughters, and my pre-teen granddaughter. I DO follow the care instructions which include not using softener or dryer sheets. Can't say enough good about them. They do exactly what they say, and if, by chance, you try these and don't think you will use them, someone you know would thank you forever for introducing them to this product1

RareMinerals Renew & Reveal Facial Cleanser 1.25fl.oz/35g unboxedThis is one of Bare Minerals best products. I makes your skin feel new and baby soft, which makes makeup application really easy and smooth. I'm hooked.

Do NOT buy this stuff on Amazon! I ordered this for $20, then found one for twice the size for $26 from bareescentuals.com. The picture made it look like the original, larger size, but what I actually got was the trial/travel size. I didn't closely read the product description because I've already been using this stuff for years, so it's really my own fault...mostly. Deceiving picture though...not cool! BareMinerals has changed the packaging and product name, but the inner contents are the same...now it's the exfoliating cleanser. Still great stuff!

Dickinson's Witch Hazel Formula Towelettes with Aloe - 20 ea

Dickinson's Witch Hazel Formula Towelettes with Aloe - 20 eaI love this wipe because it's individually wrapped so it's portable. I really like it because it's super refreshing. and it leaves your face clean but not dry and tight. I highly recommend it.

I was very pleasantly surprised by these towelettes. A bit pricey but they are way better than the usual handi-wipes. They are extra large in size and thick. You can clean your face, arms , and hands with one wipe. The scent is a bit offputting but it dissapates quickly. Non-drying and leaves your skin clean and soft. I'm very pleased with them.

L'Oreal Go 360 Clean Deep Facial Cleanser for Sensitive Skin 6 fl oz (178 ml)

L'Oreal Go 360 Clean Deep Facial Cleanser for Sensitive Skin 6 fl ozI have such sensitive skin that I didn't regularly wash my face until college it hurt so much. The best I found was avenno ultra calming, but found it was drying out my skin too much. I found this recommended and its excellent. The little scrubby thing really does work better than just rubbing your face with your hands. I mean, would you think your body was clean if all you did was cover your hand with soap and rub your armpit? It works much better, I noticed a real difference in a week. There is the issue of acne on the edges of where you wash, you have to really scrub your eyebrows and hairline and around your ears or they'll come up there. It advertises that it can shrink pores and I really believe it. I don't use like 'beauty supplies' other than face wash but it really does seem to shrink them, especially under the eyes.

If you have extreme sensitive skin, give it a try, you won't be disappointed. And if you are, keep the little scrubby anyway.

Cindy Crawford Meaningful Beauty Cleanse 5.5 Fl. Oz.

Cindy Crawford Meaningful Beauty Cleanse 5.5 Fl. Oz.I was very excited with meaningful beauty.... Cindy Crawford really helps you make a decision on buying this! but after using it for more than a year i can surely say it doesnot work at all.

Initially it felt nice, i felt it was working on my skin... but after using for almost a year, i noticed the wrinkles on my forehead were getting worse.... It does not give you the results that you need. and i am just 28 and i started it to prevent the small wrinkles from growing.... it did not work... i can only imagine how it would work on deep wrinkles.

Also the customer service is very poor, they are rude to you and are always looking to sell stuff to you.

I tried a different product and i have seen results in one week which i did not see after using Meaningful Beauty for more than a year.

Hope this helps.

I started using Meaningful Beauty products about 6 years ago. It worked fairly well for the first year or two then they changed the formula a bit. I know because I compared the ingredient list from an old bottle to a new one. Within a week after they changed the formula, my face had splotches of severe dryness that was red, itchy, and inflamed. I called them to cancel my automatic shipments and let them know that their new formula was horrible and was ruining my skin. They insisted that nothing about it had changed and then tried to sell me more of the product line. Just seemed like they only cared about making a buck, no apologies for damage to my skin.

So fast forward to just a few weeks ago. I still have a bunch of leftover cleanser and moisturizer and decided to give it another try. Perhaps there was something else going on at the time with my skin. Well, it's been a couple weeks and my face is slowly getting drier and drier. I just used the nighttime moisturizer and it made my skin burn. Will immediately stop using all MB products and throw them in the trash, where they should have been dumped after the first time.

Buy Cindy Crawford Meaningful Beauty Cleanse 5.5 Fl. Oz. Now

I bought the product after watching the informercial. The one thing I will congratulate the producers about is for picking up a spkesperson who is a poster child for great skin. But there is no doubt in my mind that Cindy Crawford does NOT use these products. I had great results with my Estee Lauder, but figured that if I got a great product which was also cheaper than my Estee Lauder, this would be a bonus. After 9 months of using Meaningful Beauty, I noticed that my skin was losing its elasticity, and wrinkles were coming out more pronounced. True that the products look and feel great when you apply them, but for me the feeling smooth is not the only thing that matters, and in fact does not matter at all if I don't see results. Products' texture was always great, but their effectiveness is lousy, and for me the effectiveness matters more than the smoothness. Scrubs are not smooth, but they work to remove impureties. So, if you have another product that works for you, do NOT drop it for Meaningful Beauty, because you will end up regretting it. The cost saving is really not worth it.

My sister uses the Aveeno line and it works great for her. Me, it's Estee Lauder (way more expensive than Aveeno), but at least I don't have to consider Botox or going under the needle, which prompts me to ask whether Cindy has had some "work" done. I know that Susan Lucci (Erika Kane in All My Children) also promotes a product, but Susan has regular jobs done and it's a well-known "secret". It's a bit deceiving that these actresses make you think that their youthful look is due to some product, when they go for regular facelifts... That's misrepresentation when they use their face to showcase a product as if their look was due to the product. But I'll stop there. Bottom line: Meaningful Beauty doesn't work. I have no interest in Estee Lauder or Aveeno, (and have never received any free gift from any of them). Not like some online reviewer (who discloses in fine prints that they have received free products from the manufacturer for them to try out). All the skincare prodcuts that I have ever used have been paid by me (though I always check to see when they are on sale -which is not very often).

I've used the product before I purchased this i only had a sample that is why i purchased this bigger one and it works fine,but I have noticed a change in my skin though and I'm getting some rash, so i have stopped using it for a while, seems to be irritating my skin after a few weeks of use, and I'm getting some acne which i never had, so i guess anyone willing to try it can go ahead see what happens for them, every case is not the same. Good Luck!

Do not waste your time and money buying this product. The first box I received was an OK deal at $40.00. They sent me a second box (3 month supply) less than 30 days after my first box at a cost of $149.94, because I did not cancel within the initial 30 days. I called the customer service number to cancel my order after receiving this first box, and the customer service rep. conveniently left out that my next box would cost $149.94, and all she did was put my subscription on hold. In other words, this is a HUGE RIP-OFF. After using this product within days I had the worst acne I have had in my entire life, and I have never been prone to acne. I still have scars from the two biggest pimples I have ever had after using this product. Such a disappointment and such a waste of money!

In fact, I went to the spa for a relaxing treatment including a back scrub and the therapist said I didn't even need it! Hello, thin-strap tanks!

Vinegar Rinse Cleanser 8 fl. oz.

Vinegar Rinse Cleanser 8 fl. oz.It worked on my large flake dandruff within a few rinses. Totally gone now. NO OTHER product works like this! I use it during winter every other time I shampoo. Easy to use, shampoo with a ph balanced natural shampoo (I use natures gate), apply and leave in for 1-5 minutes (while I soap, shave), and then rinse, apply conditioner. I only use about 1-2T per use, so it goes a long way. Love this product. Can't say enough good things. Can't smell it AT ALL once hair is dry, a little smell while drying (and I mean very light smell).

This product is wonderful...it made my hair squeeky clean. My scalp felt so clean and my hair is so soft.I will be buying again. I used the Hair Loss conditioner afterwards and OMG my hair felt soooo good and thicker!!!! This product is the best!!!!!

Contrary to some other opinions, I am very drawn to the fragrance of this product. It smells like you're walking into an essential oils store. I love it! Using the product also makes my hair feel so clean, swingy and fresh. Not stripped, just fresh and clean. I have used water/vinegar rinses I've concocted at home because I know vinegar is good for a number of reasons for cleaning your hair. But it never worked quite as good as this product, and the smell of straight vinegar diluted with water just lingered forever. This is a fabulous product. What I don't like is that it is sooo expensive for such a small bottle. I use it sparingly on my slightly past shoulder-length hair and it will get used up too quickly for the money, in my opinion. I have nothing but good to say about it...other than the cost.

The package arrived in no time and I noticed a difference after the first use. I had a lot of build up from over using conditioners to moisturize and soften my hair. I only used this product once, and my hair was softer, shinier and easier to comb through. I will continue using this product and update this review. I'm hoping the health of my hair will continue to improve with this product. "

AINHOA Luxe Gold Facial Serum, 1.05 Fluid Ounce

AINHOA Luxe Gold Facial Serum, 1.05 Fluid OunceThe research:

Foremost, let's look at what dermatologists have to say about the use of gold in "skin care." A phenomenal report in the New York Times noted, "Dr. Judith Hellman, a dermatologist in New York City, did research into gold face creams after enough magazine beauty editors pestered her about them. 'At best, they do nothing, and at worst, they can give you irritation of the skin,' she said. 'I would tell people to put that money into gold that they can wear around their neck or on their fingers.'" From the same article, another dermatologist (Dr. Jeannette Graf) stated that, she had done "intensive medical searches on this very ingredient" and found that "there are absolutely no scientific studies that show that gold has any effect in firming or revitalizing the skin, nor that it reduces wrinkles or gives skin a plumped, golden glow.'" But Dr. Graf did find that gold was named "'allergen of the year' in 2001 by the American Contact Dermatitis Society" (Kingson, Jennifer. May 24 2011. Fashion and Style Section). I know that this seems obvious to most American consumers. We watch The Doctors and Dr. Oz. We read Consumer Reports. Nonetheless, we sometimes get distracted by "big claims." So, absolutely know that you are paying for gold that will have no positive impact on your skin. And, know that those who have sensitive skin can actually be negatively impacted by these products. (That's straight from the research). Therefore, be certain to conduct a patch-test (i.e. apply the product to a small area, wait twenty-four hours, and then proceed with this product if there are no negative results).

Now for the "caviar" claim. Again, Americans are smart consumers. However, sometimes it takes awhile to disseminate the proper information to the public. Therefore, many may truly believe that this could be the next "big thing." What I can tell you is that caviar is not that next "fountain of youth." As reported by The Associated Press, Dr. Sanusi Umar clearly stated that there is no evidence that caviar has any benefit.

What else do you need to know? The first ingredient is water. This may be problematic for a variety of reasons. Many in the field are quick make one loud point: if water is the first ingredient, the product is usually 70-95% water. Now consider that some preservatives are included (because water "spoils") and you do not really have a great deal of active ingredients remaining.

Now, if you search some of the ingredients on this label, you may be alarmed to find that there are a few alarming reports about "propylene gycol." However, I think it is crucial to note that our FDA has labelled it safe. (It is even used in dog food ... so, again, I feel like you have no worries here). Still, it may do you good to dig deeper into this debate. It seems really heated.

Now, my main concern (again as a savvy consumer) was that this product is manufactured in Spain (i.e. without the careful watch of the FDA). So I did some investigating. The good news is our FDA website states, "Cosmetic products imported into the United States are subject to the same laws and regulations as those produced in the United States. They must be safe for their intended uses and contain no prohibited ingredients." But there is also a statement that claims, "The FDA encourages cosmetic firms to register their establishments and file Cosmetic Product Ingredient Statements with FDA's Voluntary Cosmetic Registration Program (VCRP). However, firms importing products considered to be solely cosmetics in the United States are not required to register with FDA."

Since there are no ingredients listed on the plastic bottle itself, you may wish to save the box and show it to your dermatologist if you have any questions.

The experience itself:

Since some people are sensitive to scent, I thought it sage to report that there is a moderate to heavy aroma comparable to baby powder with a touch of cinnamon. To most, it will not be offensive. (I found it quite pleasant). To a few, it could prove prohibitive. (And, there are a few for whom it will clash with their signature scents).

It goes on clear and finishes clear.

It is not tacky (to the touch) and seems to "disappear" into the skin.

I had no problem with layering an SPF 20 tinted moisturizer over this.

I see no genuine differences yet (not even on a temporary basis like with many beauty-counter products that contain caffeine and the like). However, I will report back when the bottle is complete and provide my end results. And, I feel it only fair to note that I use Refissa every night (a prescription anti-aging retinoid) and follow that in the morning with CeraVe with a fresh "punch" of vitamin C (Philosophy Turbo Booster C Powder) which provides sun protection. Pretty much whatever my dermatologist suggests, I do. So, I may not see any difference with a beauty-counter product. We will find out!

And, pick up this month's (January 2013) Allure because:

If you desire great skin, Allure has a great section titled "28 Days Later" (no, it is not about zombies!) Here is the gist of this well-researched article devoted to getting great, glowing skin within a month:

-Wear sunscreen every day

-Get quality sleep

-Add more fruits and veggies to your diet (for the antioxidants)

-Exfoliate regularly

-Use a retinoid (they even suggest Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair ... which is extremely cost efficient).

-Add more water to your diet

-Moisturize (they suggest CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion as does every physician I have ever visited. It is SUPER cheap, comes in a huge container, and genuinely is one of the very best moisturizers you can use).

This is how to change your skin. Yes, it takes effort, but why pay for "gold" and "caviar" that numerous studies indicate are ineffective when you can follow this simple list of small suggestions? You CAN make this list your friend. You WILL save yourself money and frustration. And, as countless doctors are quick to note, in the case of beauty-counter skin care, expensive does not mean better (at all).

I have acne skin and I find serums to work better for me than moisturizers. Serums tent to be absorb better by then skin, while moisturizers tend to sit on top of the skin to provide moisture. I have to be careful with certain moisturizers because they increase oil levels in my skin creating more acne.

My first impression of this serum is what a clean and fresh smell it has. The serum is clear to milky white with flecks of gold that illuminate and shine. It is very pretty and expensive looking.

Applying it to the skin made my skin extra soft and manageable. It did not irritate my skin like most moisturizers do. I did find that the first week my skin went through a "reaction" period where I had increased pimples in the cheek areas. I google some of the ingredients and found that gold can be an irritant on certain skin. However, the "reaction" period died in about two weeks, and my skin overall was clearer, brighter, and nicer to the touch.

I found that applying too much product made my skin feel like it was going to crack, because it felt "hardened" on my skin. However, applying a small amount and messaging it on the skin using circular strokes provided a luxurious touch.

I have not heard of the brand AINHOA because this serum but I am really satisfied with my serum and I will continue to use it until my bottle runs out.

I have never used any facial moisturizers before trying this product and I would never have tried it if I hadn't been able to get it through the Vine program. I have never been a fan of moisturizing, I rarely use hand cream or body lotion because I don't like the way they feel and the perfume smells irritate me. I do like Jergens lotions and I will use that but that's the only moisturizer I like.

I have notice that the elasticity in my skin is diminishing and my face is getting wrinkly so I was happy to have the chance to try this expensive serum. I have to say that I have been pleased with the feel of this on my skin and while it does have a scent to it I don't mind the smell at all. I guess you're supposed to put this on before bed but I use it in the morning instead. And I like the texture of this product under my concealer, it's a little bit tacky and seems to give my concealer something more to stick to than just my smooth skin, so I get better coverage with the concealer.

Do I think this product is making me look younger? Well, someone held the door for me the other day and called me "Miss" instead of Ma'am...does that count?

I think this product is a nice moisturizer that does make my skin look better and my make-up go on better and it doesn't have an irritating smell to it. So, I do like it. But I have to be honest, I am a bargain-shopping kind of girl and I would never spend big bucks on any beauty product, probably not even if I won the lottery. If I could get a life-time supply of this serum gratis, I'd be happy to keep using it.

After two months, I honestly couldn't spot a single difference or improvement in my skin since adding this to my routine. I was using a serum from Philosophy (Philosophy When Hope is not Enough Serum-1 oz) which costs a third of this and worked much better. I won't be buying this again

I have used the Luxe Gold facial Serum as recommended every night for approximately 3 weeks. I love the dispenser, it's nice enough to leave out on the bathroom counter. The fragrance is pleasant, mild and very light. The texture is smooth and leaves a nice glow on the skin.

I applied it all over my face and neck, giving special attention to around the eyes and mouth. However, I found it very disappointing that after 3 weeks, I saw no change. I honestly like the product for it ease of application and the non-greasy feeling left on your skin, but could not justify the price for a product that doesn't seem to work as advertised.

Neutrogena Eye Makeup Remover, Oil-Free, 5.5 oz.

Neutrogena Eye Makeup Remover, Oil-Free, 5.5 oz.As a make up remover, this is wonderful. It only takes a small amount and I can get all my layers of mascara and eyeliner/shadows off at once. It's not irritating to my eyes too which is a BIG plus! It may be oil free, but there is still mild residueit tends to go away within 5 minutes if left alone, or you can quickly wipe it away or rise off your eyes. Either method works fine. I personally use it to get lip liner and bronzer off tooworks just as well.

What this doesn't do is actually clean my face though. Still gotta use toner for that. My toner of choice is a moisturizing tonerworks so much better because it doesn't contain alcohol which dries out your skin. I'm sure the other ladies know what I'm talking about! Dry skin = flaky = blemishes...not a great way to attract the guys. This toner, which smells like rose petals (Witch Hazel Rose Petal Toner with Aloe Vera + FREE Retinol Cream) actually has aloe vera in it so it's literally moisturizing as you're using it AND cleaning your face. Great way to get off any stubborn make up, too!

I can't live without this makeup remover. It is the Best, never burns your eyes and it takes off the makeup so fast, no matter how much you have on. It takes off mascara so easily. I have used other makeup removers and none of them compare to Neutrogena.

It does do a good job of removing stubborn eye makeup. Waterproof liner and mascara will take a few passes to come completely off. My biggest complaint and the reason I don't really like this product is that I bought it because it said "oil-free"... so why do my eyes feel like an oil slick after using it? The residue it leaves behind, as another reviewer noted, needs to be wiped off with a wet cloth or towel.

I am in love with this product. I've used it for years, and this price is the best one. This is perfect for taking off waterproof products, and it's super gentle on your eyes. It leaves your skin a bit oily, but that's easily fixed with a good facewash. Definitely recommend this.

Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes, Refill Pack, 25 Count

Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes, Refill Pack, 25 CountI love how it very easily takes off all of my makeup quickly. The only drawback is you feel you have to wash your face afterwards(which I do anyway regardless of the product) so I don't mind. But I really love this product. I just bought it again.

Azfasst Green Tea Facial Gel

Azfasst Green Tea Facial GelI came across this product about a year ago by the recommendation of a co-worker, and it IS as great as they said! My pores appear smaller, which minimizes the oily look I'm constantly fighting. I even had to buy another bottle because my husband liked it so much he used all of mine. He's not a "face product" guy, but he really loves this product! My only issue is that I can't seem to use it on my forehead without breaking out. I would definitely recommend!

You will not believe your skin after a couple of weeks! I does exactly what it says....clearer, smoother, skin FAST. I love that it is fragrance free too. It is my new and only skin care product. You must try this!

This is an awesome product that has fantastic results! It leaves no oily or greasy feeling on the skin and absorbs quickly. I could notice a difference immediately and my skin feels smoother and looks healthier. A great buy too! One bottle that I use twice a day has lasted me almost 3 months!

In this day and age when elite skincare products can cost upwards of $75.00 or more, and often need to be purchased as a line of products, Azfasst is a true bargain and amazingly simple to use.

I purchased the product in Feb. 2011 after seeing it numerous times on a local TV station, and waited to review until I used it for three months (once daily). At the three month mark, I still have half a bottle left, and I'm very happy with the results.

I'm 48 years old, and while I will never have a completely balanced skin tone (freckles, uggggg) Azfasst has done a great job minimizing age/dark spots, and an incredible job minimizing pore size (which had been visible throughout my teens and into adulthood.) I use the product once nightly after cleansing, and apply to my entire face, then moisturize. After the first few uses, I felt a difference in my skin softer texture, and pore size shrunk dramatically. My age/sun/dark spots gradually began to fade with further use, most are now barely noticeable, a few are stubborn! (and again, I have those darn freckles that won't go away no matter what).

While I do not normally wear makeup on a daily basis, when I do apply it, I like the way it goes on easily and finishes with a smoother, more balanced look thanks to reduced pore size and softer skin!

To be honest, I'm grateful for the $20 price because like the majority....I simply cannot spend hundreds of dollars on a product line that has to be re-purchased every few months, or even monthly. Azfasst is affordable for me, very simple to use, and I do get results that I'm happy with.

This is my second bottle. I wasn't sure what it was doing for my face so I went back to my old product. I rapidly realized that my face felt rougher and did not look nearly as good. So, I hurried back to order my new bottle, even though I couldn't remember the name of it. Thank goodness for Amazon's easy search.

CREME OF NATURE Argan Oil Moisture Shine Shampoo & Intensive Treatment Set

CREME OF NATURE Argan Oil Moisture Shine Shampoo & Intensive Treatment SetI love that this product line is sulfate-free. In addition, the shampoo and conditioners are great detanglers. It is perfect for those of us with naturally kinky curly hair.

The product worked better than expected .. the smell is not so bad but it made my wavy curly hair shiny & soft.

It was surprising to me when the product arrived and it contained parabens. If someone goes through the trouble of excluding sulfates in their shampoo and boasts about it containing organic Argan oil, it seems that they would also leave out the parabens. No such luck. The shampoo contains 2 different types of parabens and the conditioner contains 5. The conditioner is not sulfate free eventhough it comes packaged with a sulfate-free shampoo. Why would someone care about sulfates in their shampoo but not in a leave-in conditioner? Makes no sense to me. Also why is there no mention of the parabens? I believe on average more people are paraben conscious than about sodium lauryl sulfate. The way this product is listed/described is misleading at best and uses trickery at worst. If you are trying to avoid ingredients that are questionable don't buy this product.
