These strips just work and although a little gross, they are very satisfying! Product comes boxed with a how to use guide on the back. Inside the strips are individually packaged in foil pouches. They are made Japan. Please take the time to read the side panel of the boxed labelled "Cautions" as it contains a list of reasons you should not use them and what do if you can't remove them painlessly. Provided you are a suitable candidate and followed the instructions they work, and work well for removing build up in the pores. Basically they are strips of dry glue with a fabric backing. You apply the shiny "glue" side to your nose, wet with a little warm water and wait for it to harden and dry then gently peel off. If you can't do it or find it's too painful you can soak the fabric side in water again and it will slide off easily. A tip I would give is to place a warm washcloth over the area for about 5 minutes before you apply the strip as it seems to really increase the amount of "gunk" it pulls out.

This product comes in a 250ml bottle with a handy pump dispenser. It is Australian made and owned and is free of petrochemicals, parabens and fragrance. It is a thicker white lotion which is almost watery as it is applied to the skin. It absorbs quickly and easily and leaves no greasy or sticky residue. I'm really happy with this product and can't really fault it. It is fragrance free and doesn't clash with my perfume. I love how it hydrates the skin and leaves no residue. I can apply it out of the shower and get dressed immediately without worrying about it sticking to my clothes. It's a simple but very effective product and I cannot fault. Will continue to use and most definitely repurchase when this one runs out - guessing that will take a good long while as a little goes a very long way!

Product comes boxed and inside is a sturdy 15ml bottle with pump dispenser and secure overcap (great for travel). It is made in Australia and is not tested on animals. Product is a thick, watery gel, slighly brownish in colour. It applies easily but definitely leaves a sticky residue. It is designed to use at night so this isn't really a problem. Firstly the ingredients is simple - deionised water, glycolic acid, ammonium hydroxide, milk protein lactokine, hydroxyethyl cellulose and aloe leaf extract. The ammonium hydroxide was a bit of a surprise to me and I will leave it up to you to read and research if it is something you like in your skincare. Me, no. My skin loves glycolic acid and I currently use a great one with a similar profile but without that questionable ingredient so I will continue to use mine and would not switch brands.

Being very pale I have tried many fake tan products and across the board hated them all. The texture, the smell and the awful too-orange results means I have given up on buying them. This product by Jergens however has changed my mind and I'm blown away by the results. FIrstly it comes in a 221ml soft squeeze tube and is made in USA of US and imported ingredients. It is a thick lotion, easy to apply and smells lovely and tropical-beachy coming out of the tube but this scent dissipates over a few hours and it does start smelling more like fake tan (not as bad as some I have tried though). The colour is awesome! A very natural tan, no orange undertones at all! I was really happy with this product and wish I had found it earlier in my life because I had given up on fake tanning. You can easily build the colour by applying more times per week, but I got excellent results after 2 applications and was really happy with that level of colour. Cannot fault this product at all, can't think of any critisims or faults. Winner.

I have not tried Glow Lab products before so this was a first for me. Product comes in a huge100ml (value for money for sure) soft squeeze tube with a flip cap. It is made in New Zealand. The ingredients are interesting, contains a whole host of oils (won't type them all due to space) and essential oils like jasmine flower, daffodil, ylang ylang, violet, orange peel and clove leaf. This is where the problem lies for me, I cannot use citrus based oils on my face as I know it will cause redness and irritation. It also has shea butter really high in the ingredients list. My skin loves shea, but I can't use it on my face as it makes my skin feel coated and sweaty, if that makes sense! I can use it on my neck, chest and hands and this is how I used it. The consistency is quite unusual, an almost watery lotion that soaks in so quickly with absolutely no residue. I can apply it to my hands and immediately drive the car, but my skin is hydrated and supple. I am going to continue to use this product, I do love the results it gives on my hands and chest, it's a really nice product for the price just my personal skin type means I can't use essential oils on my face.

This is the second lip balm from Dermal Therapy I have tried, I liked the original but it had a weird bitter taste to it so I binned it. I was nervous to try this one as I absolutely detest the smell and taste of the pawpaw fruit. Thankfully this product has very little scent or taste, it is very very mild and I was easily able to tolerate it. This product comes boxed and inside is a 10gr tube with a slanted applicator so you can apply directly to the lips from the tube or squeeze it on your finger if you prefer that method. It is a soft squeeze tube and is a great size to throw in my handbag or car. It is made in Australia and that is a big bonus for me. The first ingredient is petrolatum, so if you are allergic or don't like using petroleum based products it won't be for you. It also contains 4% fermented pawpaw and papaya seed oil. For me personally, I'm not a big fan of petroleum heavy products and prefer to use lip butters made from shea as it seems to work best for my skin type and personal preference. This product did hydrate the lips and had a realtively neutral taste, just not a personal choice for ingredients for me.

Product comes a huge, value-for-money 150gr soft squeeze tube with a flip cap and is made in Australia (yes!!!!). Main active ingredient is lactic acid for smoother skin but does not contain lanolin, parabens, mineral oil and petrolatum. It is fragrance free (unlike the pink "girl" version). I must say I prefer this product more than the pink one as it is less greasy and "suffocating" on the skin. I wish they would change the packaging of this one to a more gender neutral image/design as they are cutting their market, I believe. The cream is a thicker lotion consistency and absorbs quickly with no greasy or sticky residue. I wash my hands so many times a day and they are always dry, this product has helped enormously with this and my hands are smooth, hydrated and with no irritiation from extra unecessary fragrance. Big thumbs up for me for this product, it's excellent value for money and I use it on both my hands and feet and I've barely made a dent in the tube!

Product comes boxed and inside is a weighty plastic jar with a screw-top lid. It is made in Australia (yay!!). The white cream inside is of a thick consistency and no scent. For me personally, I found the cream a little rich for my skin type (normal-dry). After using the supplied Gentle Cleanser and my usual serums and actives I applied this to my face. It applied easily and absorbed well - for the most part. I would classify this moisturiser as an occulusive type, so one that wraps your skin in a layer to keep the hydration in. My personal preference is to use a thicker gel-based sleeping pack for my skin type. The rich cream felt a little suffocating on my skin and I was getting a little heat and sweatiness if that makes sense. I tried for several nights and this persisted, so I switched to using it on my neck, chest and backs of my hands. It served that purpose really well, my hands especially loved it and I woke up with soft, smooth hands. While I love the cream and I will repurchase it for the hands and decolletage areas I wouldn't use it on my face again due to personal preference for my skin type.

Product comes in a value-for-money HUGE 500g bottle with a handy pump dispenser and is made in Australia (yay!!). The cleanser is of a lotion consistency and has no scent. I use a lot of actives in my skincare regime and often my skin is irritated, dry and a little sore. I found this cleanser to be excellent for my skin troubles. It cleanses effectively, rinses easily and leaves no residue at all. All too often cleansers marketed at dry, sensisitive skin leave a residue or barrier on the skin, which makes the application of any water-based serums impossible. I'm happy to say this cleanser does not do that, it cleanses effectively, does not leave my skin feeling dry, sore and stripped and all my water-based serums and actives apply easily over it. Th giant pump-pack represents great value for money, only a small amount is necessary and would be suitable to use even on the body if you have troublesome, sensitive skin. Cannot recommend highly enough! 10/10

Product comes in a screw top tub and there are 40 gummies in each. Directions state to consume 2 gummies per day. Each gummy contains approximately 30 calories, which for me personally I find to be quite high. The gummies themselves contain no sugar but the carbohydrate count is also higher than what I like as I am on a very strict keto diet. I have another complaint, they are quite sticky and I find myself having to brush little bits off my teeth which annoys me. For someone who has no difficulty swallowing large tablets I find the option of a chewable supplement to be pointless but could see these would be useful to people who cannot swallow tablets. The science behind ingestible collagen is very questionable and the efficacy is unproven from the scientific research I have read. I have finished the whole tub (20 days supply per tub) and didn't notice any remarkable changes to my hair or skin, but it is a very short amount of time to judge the effects, I am guessing a longer-term trial would be more beneficial. Overall the taste was pleasant but the stickiness was annoying and given there is no solid research I could find to support oral ingestion of collagen supplements I will continue with my standard balaced diet approach and would not repurchase these myself.
