CANADA Refresh Skin Therapy Products Review




I absolutely love all of the Refresh skin therapy line!

The Fruit Acid 15% Gel Peel is a professional-grade exfoliator made from of Glycolic, Lactic, Kojic, and Pyruvic Acid.  It erases fine lines, dark spots and improves skin’s texture and tone while revealing noticeably smoother, healthier skin.  After using this product, skin is noticeable brighter and complexion is more even-toned after first application.  It also shrinks pores and balances oil production across combination skin.

The Lactic Acid 10% Gel Peel is more aimed for people that have sensitive skin.  
Our gentlest exfoliator removes dead and damaged skin cells without irritation. Lactic acid speeds skin cell renewal and improves skin’s ability to retain moisture.  I found this product to be great for my skin.  It was very gentle on my skin and made my skin feel awesome after.  It seemed softer and brighter!

I absolutely LOVE the Salicylic Acid peel.  I have large pores and am always fighting with ways to shrink them and improve the look of my skin texture!  I was hoping to see results with this product!  I anxiously awaited this product!

Salicylic Acid 2% Daily Peel was a great choice for me!  It claims to fights acne and signs of ageing: shrinks pores, decreases excess oil production, improves skin’s texture and tone, decreases fine lines, and repairs photo-damaged skin. The main ingredient, Salicylic acid, kills acne-causing bacteria and reduces redness and irritation, speeds new skin turnover and collagen production for a brighter, more luminous, and clearer complexion. 


I used the product the first night it arrived and I felt and saw a difference right away!  It definitely helped with my large pores and excess dirt/oil caused by this.  I definitely needed a good moisterizer after using it, but it did not cause me any problems (and I have slightly sensitive skin and sometimes have had reactions to harsh products!)  I used it regularly a few times a week.  I did not want to use it every night for fear of drying out my skin too much (being winter doesn't help!)  I found that my pores seemed smaller, less oily skin, and better skin texture and tone.  I also have not had any breakouts since using it (I usually only get a few pimples here and there!)


I have also tried the Hyaluronic Pure Moisturizing Cream (Post-peel Repair and Restore) Enhanced with Squalane and Botanical Extracts.  This is a very thick cream that goes a LONG way.  It instantly moisturizes and lasts all day long! I felt that it worked awesome after using any harsh treatments!


Overall, I definitely recommend these products.  The brand seems to be a very high quality product which delivers what it promises.

All Natural Soap Review

Soap.club


     I was so excited to try out this soap.  The scents sounded wonderful! This stuff sounds amazing and high quality! The soap boasts that it is a premium quality soap which is aged up to 6 weeks and made fresh with only pure ingredients. The secret to this soap is their old-fashioned cold process soap making. Every product is made by hand, starting from stirring the recipe, cutting the bars and even packaging each individual item!  Wow!  That is awesome!  I immediately tried my bar of soap and was hooked.  It was very moisturizing (which bar soap usually isn't) and left my skin feeling amazing (none of that weird leftover residue!)  The scent was mild but lasting!

     The cold process method of making soap helps enhance the fragrance. Many of the essential oils and fragrances provide the same properties used in aromatherapy and wellness programs. 

     The soaps are very gentle and moisturizing; they also help provide nutrients to aged skin and is suitable for all skin types.  Olive oil is also used in every bar of soap which helps reduce brown spots & scars, minimize wrinkles and penetrates deep into your skin leaving it healthier and firmer. These soap does not contain harsh chemicals, preservatives, artificial color or detergent.

     Besides being an awesome bar of soap, The Soap.Club offers our customers the ability to purchase our amazing soap online or join our monthly membership service.

They have many amazing scents to choose from such as:
-Fresh Aloe Vera - Cool & refreshing, Aloe Vera is captured perfectly in this gently-fragranced, creamy soap. Bursting with vitamins and healing properties, Aloe Vera hydrates and rejuvenates all skin types, also aiding a multitude of skin disorders.
-Lavender Lull - The enchanting aroma and potent herbal notes of lavender have made this soothing oil famous worldwide. Capturing the relaxing, replenishing elements of natural lavender, is an undisputed favorite.
-Plumeria Island Escape - Invoking exotic imagery with its tropical fruit notes, Island Escape is fragranced with natural Frangipani. Let the heady scent of Plumeria transport you to a faraway oasis.
-Sea Breeze - Like the gentle freshness of ocean spray, Sea Breeze natural soap is invigorating & renewing, sloughing away dead skin cells to reveal brighter, healthier skin beneath. Infused with fresh water scents & exfoliating sea salt for true sensory stimulation.
-Spearmint Basil - Heady & uplifting, our Spearmint Spice soap has a fantastic fragrance that combines the freshness of spearmint with the spicy warmth of basil. Uniquely unisex, Spearmint Spice is naturally exfoliating & deeply moisturizing for clean, replenished skin.

Each serving contains an industry leading 1,500 total mg of omega-3 fatty acids with 800 mg of EPA and 600 mg of DHA.

      I was looking forward to trying this formula!  I have taken many fish oil supplements in the past and always like the soft gel tabs the best and the no fishy aftertaste!  I was hoping this one would pass my tests!

     The soft gels were the perfect size for easy swallowing!  Only two were needed for a serving (I have seen some brands being 3-5 at a time! No THANKS!)  And they definitely had NO aftertaste whatsoever!  I always find I notice a difference in my hair and skin when I am getting enough healthy fats and I noticed within a week of taking this supplement regularly that my hair felt so much healthier!  Definitely recommend this brand!

It was easy to apply and had a good scent. I always hate when products smell strongly of very chemically I definitely would continue to use it to try and see any more benefits!

Regenepure DR 4 oz Hair Loss and Dandruff Shampoo Review



Regenepure DR 4 is an Anti-hair loss and dandruff shampoo.  It is an amazing gentle shampoo. It is sulfate free and paraben free.  It has a light scent which isn't overwhelming or too medically smelling.

Natural Thyroid Support Supplement Review


Natural Thyroid Support Supplement Review

Thyroid Support Is An All Natural Blend Of Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs and Amino Acids. When Used Together, These Ingredients Help Promote Thyroid Hormone Production. The Ingredients Include: Vitamin B-12, Iodine, Kelp, Magnesium, Zinc, Selenium, Copper, Manganese, Molybdenum, L-Tyrosine, Schizandra, Ashwagandha Root, Bladderwrach, & Cayenne Pepper.  The usage is simple and doable-2 capsules daily preferably with meals and it can be used by both women and men.

Breaking down the ingredients:
- L-Tyrosine. Some individuals are unable to naturally produce sufficient levels of L
-Tyrosine and must obtain it from outside sources. This amino acid plays a key role in the production of the thyroid hormones Thyroxine and Triiodothyronine.
- Iodine plays a vital role in the formation of thyroid hormones. Both Kelp and Bladderwrack provide naturally occurring levels of iodine.
- Schizandra and Ashwagandha have been used for centuries as part of Traditional Chinese Medicine. These two herbs are thought to have a beneficial impact on individuals with an underactive thyroid.
- Cayenne is included for its potential benefits in helping to increase circulation ensuring that essential nutrients are effectively distributed throughout the body
- Copper, Magnesium, Manganese, Molybdenum, Selenium and Zinc are essential minerals crucial for the production of thyroid hormones and thyroid function.
- B-12 plays an extremely important role in the body including normal thyroid function.

Overall, it seemed like a good combination of ingredients to help support a properly acting thyroid.

After a few days of using this supplement, I found that my energy levels had definitely increased and that I did not have that afternoon crash! I also did not find that I felt any negative side affects from taking this!

I received this product at a promotional price in return for my honest opinion and would definitely recommend!
