I love these capsules. It comes in a pretty plastic screw on container. Each dose of serum comes in a convenient, easy to twist and open capsule, which keeps the product potent, fresh, and sanitary. It is also very convenient for travelk. The serum feels like a cross between a dry oil and slippery dimethicone. It absorbs quickly and balances and softens my dry combo skin. It has no fragrance or color and does not irritate my super sensitive skin.

I have fine highlighted hair. This product is less expensive than other similar products and works just as well. I rub a very small amount between my hands and smooth down flyaways on dry hair. Fructic Garnier products tend to irritate my scalp, but this works for me as it really does not touch my skin.

I tried this oil in Wisconsin when my skin was feeling dry and the mosquitoes were swarming. I fully understand why this is said to repel mosquitoes! It repels me too! The oil itself is moistruizing, light, and inexpensive, but I really hate the smell. I much prefer the scent of a mosquito repellent with DEET. I was hoping for a non-toxic option for being outside at night that would moisturize my skin as well.

This is a stiff hold for my fine hair. I prefer a more natural flexible hold which I expected from the "sheer" description in the name. This product is good for more coiffed looks. It really holds all day and is not sticky. It does make my hair shiny and does not irritate my scalp. I do not get the blonde or brunette thing--I tried both and did not notice any difference--the result is the same as other quality hair product lines so I think it is just a gimmick. This product is good for a strong hold spray, but is a bit pricey for a comparable drugstore brand.

This is keeps your brushes clean and in good shape. You spray, massage cleaner through the brushes, rinse, and dry. Fast. Simple. Clean. The cleanser also does not cause reactions in sensitive skin which is a bonus. Girls, wash your brushes!

I think this is a great product with great ingredients. It is a creamy easily absorbed lotion in a convenient, mess free, tube that keeps the product sanitary and stable. It does not irritate sensitive skin which I have found is unusual for products made for oilier skin. This product is awesome to mattify oily areas. I noticed it did this in my t-zone very well. Unfortunately my cheeks, where my pores are large are dry. It did nothing for me. I think this product's purpose is confusing otherwise it would probably receive a much higher rating. It should be renamed as a skin mattifier--it probably does make minimize the look of pores on oilier skins, but is really not meant for normal, dry combo, or dry skin.

Paula's Choice Hydralight Healthy Skin Refreshing Toner
Outstanding--above and beyond for sensitive combo skin
I switched to this from Paula's Choice Skin Balancing Toner. I absolutely love this product and would recommend it highly for anyone with combination skin. After having a baby, my dry combination skin was breaking out with acne. I have super sensitive allergy prone skin. Sensitive skin products are usually for dry skin and worsened my acne. Most products for oily or combination skin are too irritating or too drying for me. This product is addressed both issues. It hydrated my dry skin and kept my oily areas dry and acne free. This product alone made such a difference in skin. It really normalized it and makes it look great. It even calms my skin a bit when it gets red or itchy. I use this every day. This is my absolute cannot live without skincare product.

I have very sensitive, allergy prone dry/combo skin. This product thoroughly and gently cleans my face (including makeup) without drying, irritating, causing oiliness, or causing pimples. It really much more than any other product keeps my skin perfect and "normalized". A definate must have or must try! REVISION: I used this for a few years with great results. After taking in a relative's dog, my allergies went crazy, I developed asthma and my skin began to react to this product. I believe it the cause is the chamomile ingredient as it is related to the chrysanthamum family (mums & daisies) which I am allergic to. If you have hayfever, you may want to reconsider using this product. I switched to Paula's Choice Healthy Skin Refreshing Toner with outstanding results. I regularly use Paula's Choice skin care products with great success. This is the first time I had a reaction with any of their products.

This lotion contains spf, has a slight clean fragrance, absorbs quickly, and moisturizes without causing acne. I really like this for my very sensitive skin--it does not irritate and is great for my combo dry skin. I also like the dispenser which keeps the antioxidants and other good things in this product clean and stable and dispenses just what you need.

This is a basic cleanser with an invigorating de-stressing, pleasant citrusy minty clean scent. I really love the fragrance and cooling sensation, especially in the summer, but I cannot use it every day because it can irritate my skin on occasion. It is also reasonably priced.
