It does a good job, and fulfills its claims. This keeps my skin moisturized all day and night, and the value for the price is great. My skin feels softer, and dryness is definitely not a problem. Why, then, am I not giving this a 10? My only issue with this product is that, and this could be a matter of personal preference, it feels sticky. It does not only feel sticky after the initial first few minutes, but hours later I can still feel its stickiness. Even when using very sparse amounts of this product, my skin still has that unshakable sticky feeling. If Aveeno sold a moisturizing lotion that is lighter, or even more of a gel based moisturizer (similar to Clinique's dramatically different moisturizing gel or moisture surge) I would be all over it. It would work very well for the fall and winter, but I would stay away from this during the spring and summer months. Aside from this issue this is a great value, and a good lotion to have on hand during the colder, harsher times of the year.

I picked this up in Divine Wine. The color looked great in its case, and I had high hopes for this blush. There was no organgey tint to it at all. Unfortunately I had to work to have any color to show for on my face. It was almost too soft. Maybe it was the shade I chose, and next time I will try it in a darker shade. I think this could be a good blush, but again I'll have to try again with the shade. The lack of pigment and color leaves much to be desired, but I will withold a harsh rating for now.

I've tried giving this foundation a good chance, but it simply does not work for me. If you've read my other reviews you know I like good coverage. I tried putting these biases aside when I tried this product. No matter how I tried to apply it, it felt like there was no makeup on my face. It looked like there was no makeup on my face. I do not mind sheer coverage in my makeup, but I want at least SOME coverage, I want it to at least do something. It was so sheer it wasn't even there. I prefer the mineral sheers powder compact foundation. I'm sure that its setup would make for a good travel companion, but again it has to dispense and do something. I'm disappointed in this product.

This has been my personal favorite for several years. It provides full coverage, and this is great for oily and sensitive skin. If you prefer makeup with light coverage, than this may not be for you. Because this makeup has full coverage it is even more important to fully wash this off at the end of the day. It stays well throughout the day, and helps perfect my complexion with the coverage and oil/blemish control. If you have problem skin, this is a wonderful foundation to turn to.

I have been using this concealer for a few weeks, and it's good, but not without its flaws. First here are the pros: the coverage is great, the dark circles underneath my eyes are fading (it is apparent even when I am not wearing this), and it provides extra SPF protection. This is an under eye concealer and cream in one. Unfortunately it is not doing much for puffiness, which is not a huge issue for me. When I do have puffiness it leaves something to be desired. Another issue with this concealer is that it is difficult to blend in with the rest of the face. This may be remedied with a different shade, but it is thicker than what I am used to in a concealer. This could be a good thing if you really must cover those dark circles. If you're not careful you may have raccoon eyes. I think I would buy this again, but next time I must choose the shade more carefully.

This review may be biased; I have been using Dove's beauty body wash and deodorant for years now. I used this for a short time a few years ago upon a dermatologist's recommendation. After reading the reviews I decided to try it again, and if it didn't work its low cost would not amount to a huge loss. What did I have to lose? Now that I have given this a longer try I am AMAZED at this product. Who would think that something so inexpensive, so simple as this bar of soap would be so effective? I wear a decent amount of makeup and have overly sensitive and oily skin. This bar thoroughly cleaned my face without over-drying or causing problems. It is gentle and effective, and next time I would get this product in bulk! I have used Clinique, Lauder, and other more expensive cleansers in the past, but this works just as well (if not better!). The value for the price is simply unbeatable. Again, I am partial to the brand, but I would highly encourage anyone to pick up this amazing lil bar of soap.

I bought this moisturizer from Target because I wanted to try more organic/natural skin care products. I tried samples of Mychelle and Suki, which were more expensive but worked great. This is a more reasonably priced moisturizer which can be picked up at Target, Walgreens, etc. I am in my mid-twenties, and I have hyper sensitive/oily skin. This product features SPF protection and antioxidants that is good for my skin. The moisturizer is calm enough to not make my rebelliously sensitive skin flip out. I've noticed overall visible improvements in my complexion, and the SPF protection is a bonus. There is no strong scent, and the product claims to be hypo-allergenic. There was some initial eye stinging when I first used this product, as others have mentioned for other Alba products, but I have not had any problems in awhile. The irritation was not overwhelming and no longer became a problem after a minute or two. Whether or not this product is truly a natural product (read the article on natural/organic products on total beauty) this is an effective moisturizer giving me everything I need at this point in time. I would buy this product again. This solid product deserves a 9/10 rating.
