I like this EXPENSIVE deodorant
Scent: Bergamot & Hinoki, Size: 2.6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I really like the deoderant, as it seems to work well and goes on easily with no staining, etc. The reviews seem to emphasize the wonderful smell, but it is very mild and I find the smell minimal. It is rather expensive for a deodorant, but it works, so I will leave that up to the individual. Not sure if I will purchase again, but only because of the price, but I do like the product.

My go-to facial cleanser — gentle, hydrating, and effective
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have been using CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser for months and it became a staple in my skincare routine. It cleansed my face thoroughly without stripping moisture, which was exactly what I needed for my dry skin. The hyaluronic acid and ceramide formula left my skin feeling soft and hydrated after every wash. It did not cause any irritation and was gentle enough for daily use. The 16 oz value size lasted a long time and was a great purchase. Highly recommend for anyone with normal to dry skin.

Great for Sensitive Hands — Gentle and Hydrating
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I can’t speak to how this works for the face, but I use it on my hands and really love it. The quality is excellent — it has a smooth, lotion-like texture that feels gentle and non-stripping. It cleans without drying, which is exactly what I was looking for. There’s little to no scent, which I appreciate, and no irritation at all. It leaves my hands feeling soft and hydrated instead of tight. It arrived quickly and well-packaged with no leaks or issues. For the price, this is a great value, especially if you’re looking for something mild and effective for sensitive skin. It’s become a regular part of my routine. #AmazonFinds #AmazonFine #Chihuahuamom #Dobermanmom #LuxeLife #MindfulLuxury #IntentionalLiving #ConsciousLiving #SensitiveSkin #CleanLiving #SkincareRoutine #GentleCare #EverydayEssentials #SelfCarePractice

My favorite face wash for sensitive skin
Size: 19 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have very sensitive and eczema prone skin and this face wash is the only one that I will use. It is so gentle and it works so well on my skin to remove makeup and anything else. It doesn’t really foam, but it lathers on nicely and a little bit goes a long way. It is really gentle and moisturize my face. It’s not greasy at all and it doesn’t leave any residue behind. Recently, I’ve been wearing a lot of sunscreen went outside with my toddler and I am so impressed by how well it removes that. The bottle is big and lasts a very long time making it such a great value. This is my favorite face wash and I will be using it for many years to come.

I am really happy with this purchase.😍🤌🏼
Size: 19 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 19 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using the CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser for almost half a year now, and it has honestly become a staple in my skincare routine. My skin tends to be dry and sensitive, and this cleanser keeps it feeling soft, clean, and comfortable without drying it out. The formula is very gentle and creamy, and I love that it contains hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and glycerin. After washing my face, my skin feels hydrated and calm instead of tight or irritated. It’s also fragrance-free, which is a huge plus for sensitive skin. Over time, I’ve noticed my skin barrier feels healthier and less reactive, especially during colder or drier weather. It works perfectly for daily use and pairs well with other skincare products without causing breakouts. I also appreciate that it’s certified by the National Eczema Association, which gave me more confidence trying it long term. Overall, this is one of the best gentle cleansers I’ve used, and I’ll definitely continue repurchasing it.
