I received a tube of this to try out. Not being the type of guy to use skin care lotions, I thought a moment about where I could apply it. Being the 55 year old I am, I'm noticing the underside of my eyes could do with some help, so I applied it under one of my eyes. I asked my wife and daughter if they could tell where I put it and how it looked. They correctly identified under which eye and said that it made the dark circle look less dark. I must admit that I noticed this as well, so I put some under my other eye as well. The lotion is easy to apply, and you don't need to use a lot as it spreads well.

I recently received a tube of Plunkett's NS21 Nutri-Synergy Skin Repair Treatment among several others to try out and I was running out of places to try so I tried it on my often-forgotten piece of skin real estate...my elbows. (What can I say, I'm a guy and I don't use many skin products :) Anyway, my elbows get dry and rough, so I applied this cream there and I was impressed. I noticed that my dry elbow skin looked and felt moisturised straight away without feeling greasy. (If you've read any of my other reviews, you'll know I don't like feeling oily or greasy after putting on creams or lotions, so I was happy with product.) The product itself comes in a squeeze tube that stands on its head so it will drain to the lid and make it easier to get out when you start running out. The cream feels soothing when you apply it, and it has a nice fragrance. It doesn't contain petrochemicals, which I thought was good, and is recommended for eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis. I'd like to see how it handles dermatitis when I occasionally get that, but for now, I can say that it is good on dry skin like your elbows.

I received this product as a trial. I'm not a huge fan of applying oil to my skin because I just don't like feeling oily and I dislike having oily fingers. I'm a guy. Anyway, I applied some to the crow's feet region of my eye and can't say it really did much for my fine lines. I also applied some to the back of one hand and rubbed it in. It took a little while to absorb properly into my skin and for a while my hand looked shiny in the sunlight and LOL it reminded me of Edward Cullen from Twilight when he exposed himself to sunlight. Would I recommend using this this product? It's hard to say because as I said I have a personal dislike to products that make me feel oily or greasy. But for those of you who don't mind and can be patient to let it absorb in, I'd say why not. Give it a go.

I received this product as a trial for the recent Beauty Heaven event in Sydney. Ironically, I have advance hereditary alopecia so I couldn't use it as I keep my hair truly short or shaved. Consequently, this review is based on my wife's feedback about this overnight hair serum. She said that it was easy to apply to her hair before going to bed. It has an earthy scent which she loved. Also, it's lightweight on her fine her (it didn't weigh her hair down) and it didn't feel greasy. It was fine to leave in the following day and felt good when she'd washed it out.

I received this product as a trial for the recent Beauty Heaven event in Sydney. Funny thing is I have advance hereditary alopecia so I couldn't use it as I keep my hair very short or shaved. My wife used it so I can only go by what she said about this hair mask. She said that she's normally not a fan on A'kin products, but she loved this hair mask. Her her is fine. She said that after using this mask, her hair felt like it had more volume, it felt moisturised and healthy. I asked her how many stars she'd give it and she had no reservations about giving it 5 stars.

My wife used it so I can only go by what she said about this dry shampoo. She loved it. She said that after applying it in her hair, it made her hair feel good / not greasy. She gave it a big thumbs up. Words of caution, it warns on the can to use in a well-ventilated room. In addition, it warns that the product is extremely flammable.

My skin is naturally quite dry, even though I used to get teased at school in the 80's for being a "greasy w-g". How ironic, heh! Anyway, my lower legs get particularly dry and flakey if I don't moisturise them, so it was good to receive this product to try out. I used the Etch&Ethos Body Lotion on my legs and liked how it felt soothing on my dry skin. The cream isn't thick and spreads on easily. It didn't take too long to sink in, didn't feel greasy/oily after application, and it didn't make my pants tacky when putting them on, which is good.

I've used this body wash once and I really liked using it. Unfortunately, it got relocated from the shower so I couldn't use it again since, which was bummer. The body wash has pleasant scent, not overpowering. I used about 4 pumps onto a loofah. It lathered up well (with the shower turned off). Rinsing was easy as well and didn't leave my skin feeling soapy/slippery. I've already described the fragrance so I'm not sure what else I can write about it. I'm not very good at writing. Anyhow the product comes in a pump pack which is easy to use.

I had been eyeing one of these for over a year, dropping not-too-subtle hints that I wanted one for Father's Day (after not getting one last year). I love using it. It's easy to use and clean. It will do your head around a half dozen times before needing a recharge. It feels comfortable to hold in my hand and is pretty lightweight. It cuts close to the scalp though not as close a razor blade, but the convenience far outweighs this. Not really for shaving your face as it grabs your stubble, but it wasn't made for your face anyway, so no points lost there.
