I love this! I was using the pink grapefruit flavor (?) until I realized something similar was out there that might help with the red patches of skin that crop up on my cheeks randomly. I really, really like this cleanser! It's easy to work up a good lather, it smells nice, it's reasonably-priced, it washes off well, and it really works! In fact, it kills two birds with one stone - redness and acne. I can't say my redness is gone, but it's manageable. I like this a lot and would recommend it for anyone with similar issues!

Augh I hate this product!!! I love the rest of the oil-free acne wash line (pink grapefruit, cream cleanser), but this scrub is just silly. It won't lather, the exfoliant is really gritty and sandy, you can never wash it all off unless you're standing in the shower forever, but then it drips down onto the rest of your body and YOU CAN TELL. Yechhh. On the plus side, it smells nice and it'll last you forever because you'll use it maybe twice every four months. Again, love the rest of the line - just not this.

I was reluctant to come on board the Noxema bandwagon, but I'm glad I did. To me, it still, and probably always will, smell like summer camp, which isn't a good smell to me necessarily. But it's obvious that this is one of the best facial cleansers out there. It leaves skin visibly removed of irritants and pollutants, it smells refreshing, and you can get a huge thing of it for about the cost of a gallon of gas (speaking of pollutants). For my usually porcelain but sometimes rosacea-riddled skin, this is the best thing I've come across in any price range. So memories of summer camp, I vanquish you in the name of clean and clear skin.

Who can say enough about the wonders of Nivea creme? Not I! It comes in a big pot perfect for your bathroom or a tiny one for your purse, but a little goes a long way - on elbows, cuticles, heels, and skin anywhere - but my favorite is to put it on my cheeks. It's rich and soothing, and it smells like no matter what seems to be wrong, all is right in the world and the best thing for you to do is just to get a good night's sleep. It really is the most wonderful and indispensable, bargain-priced thing you could possibly buy. If I were making one beauty purchase and one only, I think this would be it.

Tried this for the first time today. I had high hopes for it, as it was a great price, convenient size, and smells lovely. Sure enough, my hair looked shinier for about an hour - then it just became greasy. My bangs separated into embarrassing greasy strands! Furthermore, the areas of my hair that were, apparently, closest to the nozzle (??) looked much darker for hours; it wasn't just from being wet. I'm either going to need to experiment with this some more or pitch it.

I have an embarrassing number of these ... This is all I use for lipstick, and I love it! This is the longest-wearing of the "long-wearing" lip colors I've tried. That is important to me ... I smoke, I'm always drinking coffee, and I chew on pens, so I don't want to keep applying lipstick or leave gross lip prints on the tops of cups. While I'm not wild about the gloss that goes with it - I think it's greasy, although it's a pretty look - I absolutely love the matte color on its own. And it does stay on.

I am new to BB cream and wondered what all the fuss was about. I just bought this today, and I think this was a good first BB cream for me to try! As I squeezed it out of the bottle, it looked to me like the Wet and Wild liquid foundation I wore in middle school, but it went on smoothly, it wasn't greasy at all, and it feels great on. I can see that it's evened out my skin tone, but is dewier and overall just much lighter than a full foundation. I love my full-coverage Maybelline Dream Matte Mouse foundation for most days, but I can see that this will be something nice to wear for a more casual and natural look. The price is right and I had no trouble matching my very pale skin. Also, I know I've touched my face a million times today and it's stayed on well. I would recommend this!

This is the only foundation I buy (well, except BB cream), after trying dozens of other brands. Why? Well, you name a skin problem and I have it, from adult acne to acne scars (gah) to rosacea. Rosacea is probably the worst, though ... about halfway through the day, my very pale complexion is gone and red patches are blazing angrily across my cheeks. This foundation is full-coverage, and it lets me look like me. It's full-coverage, but it's no Max Factor Pancake. I don't find it greasy, and it's a great price. It doesn't look waxy or caked-on, and Porcelain Ivory is a perfect match for my skin. Then again, the palest color a company makes is always right for my skin, so maybe it's harder to match for others. I recommend this if you're looking for good coverage to even out your skin tone!
