Avene Cold Cream Lip Balm

Size:  4g
Price:  $16 (approximately)
Available at Shoppers Drug Mart
 
This lip balm is a MUST for anyone who experiences dry, chapped, and cracked lips in the winter or year-round.  It has no shine to it, so it is suitable for men as well as women.  It doesn't contain strong fragrance, and is suitable on the most sensitive skin.  It contains moisturizing Shea butter, vitamin E, and Avene's thermal spa water which all help to sooth and comfort dry lips.  It will cure even the most chapped lips in about a week.
I have not found another lip balm that works as well as this one.  It is well worth every penny, and in the winter season, can often be found in packs of 2 for the price of one. 
Avene also makes a Cold Cream Hand cream that is the very best hand cream I have ever used.  If you try it, you'll become hooked!

Vichy Aqualia Antiox

Size: 40 mL
Cost:  About $37
Available at Shoppers Drug Mart
 
Aqualia Antiox is a new product which promises to deliver hydration and antioxidants to the skin.  Its great for all skin types, even sensitive ones. 
This product was developed using stem cell research enhace the regeneration process of cells and help them to survive longer.  Aqualia Antiox helps to repair damaged skin cells and encourage the growth of healthy cells, resulting in fresh, vibrant, and luminous skin.
I tried this product for a few weeks, and really liked it.  I have oily skin, and this moisturizer was not too heavy, and did not give me any problems like breakouts or clogged pores.  Upon application is gives an immediate glow to your skin, nothing shiny or intense, just a radiance.  It helped make my skin feel softer, smoother, and over time, made some of my dark spots a bit lighter.  I was suprised how nice it felt, and that it kept my skin hydrated all day long!
I would definitely reccommend this to anyone who is experiencing dry skin, dull skin, or to someone who wants to reverse some of the negative effects of skin damage (from the sun, smoking, pollution, etc.).

Review:

I recently purchased this product because it was in sale and I needed a new cleanser. And it's pink! I took it home and put it on a shelf until I had used the last little bit of my previous cleanser. When I did use for the first time, I was immediately shocked because of how amazing it smells! It's like having really sweet pink grapefruit covered in sugar for breakfast. So delicious! I was hoping it foamed well enough to get last night's mascara off. I used it on a little skin care sponge, and it foamed up like a dream. So rich and soft. It didn't have a very astringent feeling to it at all either. It took all of the makeup, dirt and oil off of my face and didn't leave my skin tight and stinging like some. My skin felt really clean and refreshed, and soft! I love this product so much! It's a dream to use, it cleans skin and helps to clear breakouts using salicylic acid and pure grapefruit extracts. I am impressed that it works quickly, leaves your skin soft and clear, and is a very good value for your money.
