I LOVED this product. I prefer to prevent breakouts rather than waiting for them to happen then treating them, so even though this product says it's a spot treatment, I would always spread a thin layer over my whole face twice a day and this did a nice job of preventing breakouts. Not a perfect job, but it worked well enough. My issue was the price and after using this consistently with great results for a couple of years I finally switched to a product from Clinique that is cheaper but works just as well if not better.

I love the Neutrogena brand, but I've never had a lot of luck with their anti-acne products, including this one. Maybe a very slight improvement in the number and severity of my breakouts, but not enough to compel me to buy it again.

When I used this along with the other Pores No More products that I received in a set, I had noticeable and amazing results after just the 2nd day of use. I plan to try this out on its own to see how it does and whether it's worth purchasing (so pricey!), I'll update my review when I figure that out. It doesn't have any unpleasant scent and I don't think you really need very much, especially since it should only be used on trouble areas. It does dry to a white-ish color (the tube says blue...) when it's time to rinse. I haven't used ANY of the Pores No More products for 4 days and the effects have still not worn off--I'm impressed! I'm hoping it's something I can use once or twice a week just to maintain results so I don't have to buy it as often.

I spent a 3 day weekend using this along with the other products in the Pores No More line and by the 2nd day I had noticeable results. The cleanser in the set was kind of harsh so I'm taking a break from the whole product line. Today is the 4th day since I stopped using any of them and my skin still looks amazing and I really can only barely see my pores. I'm going to try each product individually to see how they work alone and how often I need to use them to maintain these amazing results. I'll be updating my reviews soon!

I used this for a three day weekend with the other Pores No More products (came as a set) and by the 2nd day I was seeing AMAZING results. I'm on my 4th day of not using any of the products and my skin still looks as amazing as it did the weekend I was first using them. I'm planning to test out each product individually to see how they work on their own and how often I need to use them to maintain results (they're so pricey!). I'll update this review accordingly when I've done that.

I bought this lipstick in Crushed Rose, as the color was almost exactly the same as another lipstick I wanted, but was sold out. It's good and bad. One thing I like about it is the rich pigmentation. I don't need a lot to get a nice color, and this shade is very nice (compliments my fair skin, red hair & brown eyes combo very well--which is not always easy to find since most redheads have blue eyes...). It also goes on very creamy, the tube is sleek and pretty with magnetic closure, so there's less fear that letting this kick around in my (expensive) purse will result in a lipstick disaster. But for me, shortly after application, it stops being very creamy and starts to feel rather dry. This lipstick also has a scent that I think is meant to be perfume-y, but to me comes off more like cheap drugstore lipstick. Ultimately, though--in spite of it's shortcomings, I'm going to keep it and will probably wear it regularly. It does last well, in my experience of wearing it all day today, and it doesn't require lip liner to prevent bleeding and feathering. For that and the lovely shade, I can tolerate a bit of dryness and strange smell...

I can't believe I didn't buy one of these sooner! I have a lot of trouble with my cuticles getting dry and scraggly and then I end up picking at them and my hands NEVER looked good. I saw these on sale at Sephora so I grabbed two--one for home and one for the office--and I couldn't be happier with it. One end is curved and dull for gentle pushing back and the other end is more square and just the tiniest bit sharper for more stubborn cuticles. It's easy to use, even with my non-dominant hand, and easy to clean to keep sanitary. Between this little tool, my handy cuticle nippers (I know, not recommended, but I have to or I pick at them) and diligent moisturizing, my hands have seriously never looked better.

I recently purchased this to try after reading all the great reviews and honestly, I am not disappointed. I have struggled to find an antiperspirant/deodorant that would be as effective as I want and need it to be, and I have finally found it. The applicator is a little weird and takes some practice, but it's worth practicing because this product WORKS. Because I'm rubbing the cream into my skin (much like a lotion), the product is absorbed where it's needed instead of getting all over my clothes (and without needing to wait for it to dry). I'm up at 5 in the morning and this stuff is still working when I get home at 5 in the evening and even still at 7 or 8 when I'm just hanging around the house. I took a walk at lunch today--it's warm and sunny outside and I'm wearing a black cardigan, but when I got back to the office I was neither sweaty nor smelly. It's truly amazing to me that it works this well. The next test will be wearing it when I go out for a run, but I have every confidence it will work just as well in that situation. Update 6/13/12: I have since used this product when running, including up to 7-mile runs, and it passed the test! Of course I get plenty sweaty when I run, but I most definitely was not smelly when I finished. I love this stuff! Also worth noting is that the cost for a tube is higher than drugstore deodorants, but my $15 tube is lasting a LONG time. I need only a tiny bit each morning to get all day results.

This perfume absolutely smells like clean laundry. If that's the kind of fragrance you like this one is perfect. Absolutely perfect. It lasts very nicely throughout the day and smells warm and clean without a lot of undertones or anything else getting in the way. It's not really my type of scent, but if it's yours I highly recommend this one.

I like this scent, I do. I wish I liked it more, as I feel as if I like it best after it's been on my skin for half an hour or so and it's had time to really blend with my body chemistry. I also find that, on me, it doesn't last very long so I have to always keep a sample size or small bottle in purse to refresh the scent. I also think I can really ONLY wear this in the summer--it's all wrong as a fall or winter scent. It is a bit heavy on the floral at the beginning, but in a summery way, then (on me) it evens out nicely in a nice fresh summer/beachy fragrance. I adore Jennifer Aniston and I really wanted this to shoot to the top of my favorite perfumes list...but it just doesn't. I always recommend testing a scent several times before buying (or buying somewhere with a good return policy) but I recommend that even more so with this one as most people seem to either love it or hate it.
