I started using this almost 2 weeks ago, and so far it isn't doing a whole lot in terms of keeping my skin clear. It has .5% salicylic acid, and the moisturizer I was using before had 2%. I'm not sure if that's what's making the difference, but I definitely have more pimples since switching. I really want to like this stuff, and I'm going to keep giving a shot to see what happens. On a different note, I was really stoked about it when I read some other reviewers talking about the fragrance and how it smells citrus-y, which it kind of does, but on a couple of occasions while using it I've caught a stronger whiff, and I think it smells kind of like Windex. Not my favorite thing to put on my face. I guess we'll see what happens with me and this moisturizer.

I bought a bottle of this because I thought it smelled really good, and I liked the idea of a more natural lotion having firming qualities. I got it home, and first off, was disapointed because the pump on it didn't work. I was able to find a squeeze top from a bottle of sunscreen that fit this bottle, so I used it instead for a few days. The lotion is really thick and emollient, and takes some effort to rub in, but I like that, especially in the winter because it feels like it's moisturizing really deeply. It didn't do a whole lot for my really dry spots though, and the fragrance actually turned out to be a bit overwhelming, which probably didn't help my skin either. I used it for about a week and did not notice a difference in terms of firming, so that's something I really can't speak to. This is not my favorite lotion ever, and it will probably come back out of the cupboard in the summertime.

This is probably the most expensive bottle of hand soap I've ever bought, but for the price you get a pretty huge bottle. I thought it smelled amazing in the bottle, and I'm a sucker for anything that smells minty. But when I actually use it, the fragrance is way less intense and kind of disappointing. It smells really sweet rather than the minty smell that kind of shocks you in a good way, and on my hands it doesn't smell as delicious as it does in the bottle. But it does make my hands feel really clean without drying them out like crazy, and I use it several times a day. This soap is nice, but I wish the peppermint smell was more potent.

I can't believe this gloss is only a dollar...it's just as good as other glosses that cost several dollars, and the color and shine are awesome. I have it in a pink shade that has gold glitter in it, and the glitter pieces are pretty big just the way I like them. The packaging and screw top are nothing spectactular, but for a buck you can't go wrong!

I bought this lotion because I'm not sure if my skin gets irritated by fragrances or what the deal is, but I get some patches that get red and blotchy and show up after I get out of the shower. Oatmeal is supposed to be super soothing, and since this lotion doesn't have added fragrances or added anything I thought it might help. It did a good job of moisturizing my skin and keeping it soft all day, but it did not get rid of my skin irritation. I think this is a decent lotion for overall use, but it is not as soothing as I thought it would be.

I think this product has a lot of potential, but I can't get past the way it smells that reminds me of something that I'm not going to mention. I know that sounds bad, but it's the truth. I give 5 stars though because Aveeno products rock, and other people really like it...I wish I could stand it enough to use it on my daughter.

This fragrance is WAYYYYY too sweet and overwhelming. It seriously made my head hurt before I even tried to wear it, which I don't see myself ever doing. Luckily all I have is a free sample and I didn't pay an arm and a leg like they charge for it. Hopefully nobody ever stands near me wearing this either, because it will probably knock me out.

Lots of people like this fragrance, but it's not the best for me. I do think the packaging is super cute, and it smelled really good when I sampled it without actually putting it on, but the couple of times I have worn it it's kind of driven me crazy. It wears a little bit too strong for my taste, and it smells a little bit too sticky-sweet. If it smelled like it did on the little fragrance card and was less overwhelming, it would be perfect. I guess paper isn't a good substitute for the way your skin responds wearing perfume...

This conditioner is really enriching and smells delicious...I like the way it makes my hair feel, it conditions without weighing it down, and the fragrance rocks and totally smells like something but I can't really put my finger on it...I'm also not really sure what makes it specific to brunettes, because it doesn't enhance brunette shades like other products designed for one specific hair color. I think this would work for anyone, and it would be cool if it enhanced my brown color, but I'm happy with it.

This shampoo is perfect for wintertime when my hair tends to get static-y...I use it with the matching conditioner and it gives *almost* the perfect balance of cleaning my hair and giving it the little bit of extra conditioning it needs without weighing it down. The shampoo could do a tiny bit better job of making my hair feel like it's really clean, because I still seem to get greasy pretty fast, but that's no different than with anything else except for clarifying shampoos. The fragrance of this is also amazing :)
