I have the vanilla-mint smelling one (I didn't know the Moisturizer came in different varieties), and absolutely love it. The smell is perfect and the texture is way better than the regular waxy ChapStick. Moisturizes well, good value, good length of wear. A fantastic product!

Blistex Lip Infusion Moisture Splash
This is a terrible product, stick with the tried and true stick balms.
I bought this product and was terribly disappointed. It only lasts to your lips for about 5 minutes, doesn't moisturize at all, and is too runny to even be a gloss! Definitely does not provide 'deep hydration' nor does it have a 'penetrating formula.' I will not be buying this product again, and will be sticking with solid balm sticks in the future for real moisturizing.

Garnier Nuti-Pure Detoxifying Cream Cleanser, Oil-Free
An okay cleanser, but not great for acne-prone/oily skin
I have very oily/acne-prone skin and this cleanser didn't really make my skin feel as clean as I'd hoped. I usually had to wash my face with it twice to really get my face really clean. An okay product for normal/dry skin, but not ideal for my skin type. I will continue looking for a better product for my skin type.

I used this product when I was younger and had terrible acne and VERY oily skin and it didn't seem to do much. Well the problem isn't the cleanser, it's the acne--I've tried a gazillion cleansers and no cleanser alone will get rid of my acne. I need pills, topical creams, toner AND a good cleanser! (A cleanser is only on your face a little while, so to get rid of severe and persistant acne, you'll probably need topical creams too, which I didn't realize how bad the acne was until later on). But this cleanser is GREAT as a PART of an acne/oily skin skincare regimen (NOT for people who have an occasional zit or sensitive skin). It definitely cleanses, isn't too harsh or too creamy for my skin type (very oily, severe acne, not sensitive), and is a good value. After trying many other cleansers, I'm switching back to Neutrogena's Oil-Free Acne Wash.

It didn't seem to help keep my oily skin matte, and it even seemed to cause my face to break out all over! I am very disappointed because there are so many great reviews, but I think the silicone-based primers just won't work for my skin-type. I do NOT have sensitive skin at all and was really surprised to see the dozens and dozens of little zits everywhere. I would recommend TRYING this product out if you are acne prone, even if you're not sensitive.

A pretty good powder overall. I use it to set my concealer and foundation--because of my acne, powder alone isn't really an option. I have very oily skin and it didn't really help with oil-control, but I have yet to find a powder or foundation of any kind that does. However, it does look really nice, and the loose powder looks nice and natural compared to the sponge and cake-powders. The color is nice. The brush it comes with is a little scratchy but it will do if you don't have anything else. I'd recommend getting a better/bigger brush. And the packaging isn't perfect and not good for throwing in your purse. However, definitely good to have in your makeup arsenal! In terms of value/quality, it's just as good as bare minerals in my opinion. I had a free sample of bare minerals that I tried for a few days and I prefer Physician's Formula--bare minerals made my face itchy, and Physician's Formula didn't, which is interesting because my skin is not sensitive at all! The coverage and oil-control power of the two was equal. And PF is much more affordable, and has TONS of product that will last you a long long time. If you use powder at home, a good buy!

I like how this product moisturizes the skin around my eyes, which can get dry due to all of the topical acne treatments I use. However, it does not reduce puffs or circles at all.

I have really oily skin with a lot of acne marks and scarring. This product doesn't help control oil, but doesn't make it worse either (I really need a good primer!). However, It has decent coverage of skin discolorations without being heavy (it's not a concealer after all!). I use the Clinique foundation brush with it and really have pretty good results. Might buy again, but will also continue searching for the perfect foundation :)

I have oily skin and usually have problems finding products w/SPF that aren't oily or heavy on my skin (even Aveeno's oilfree sunscreen just feels oily). Even with my oily skin, I really liked this product! Not super tinted and I did need to apply powder over it to help cover some acne scars, but a really good product! It isn't a very big tube, but it was only $1, so it's definitely worth it's price, and a pretty good product overall. The orange smell is a little odd, but not overwhelming.

If you want a subtle, buildable tan and apply lotion anyways, this is a great product. Not bad in terms of price, smell and results. No, not superlong lasting results (only a few days), but it doesn't damage your skin like real tanning does, and doesn't empty your wallet like spray tanning/etc do! Super easy to do at home, and hard to mess up. Definitely will buy again.
