Nivea Soft Moisturizing Creme

This is the best cream I have used - ever. My skin is very dry, even in the summertime. I use this right after my shower, and my skin has never been softer. The cream is a little thick and I have to use two hands to spread it evenly, but once it soaks in, it feels really light. It feels light enough to use even in very hot temperatures.The jar only holds about 6.8 ounces, but those 6.8 ounces sure go a long way.

Ocean Spray Sparling Cranberry

When I first tasted this drink, I was expecting to find a taste similar to the cranberry juice I have been drinking for years. I mostly Ocean Spray cranberry juice, which is mixed with other fruit juices but still tastes mainly like cranberry. This drink was disappointing, only because to me it tasted more like bubbly grape juice than anything else. I then looked at the ingredient list.As many may know, ingredients used in the greatest amount are listed first, followed in descending order by those in smaller amounts. The very first ingredient listed was grape juice from concentrate, then sparkling water, and THEN cranberry juice from concentrate. To me, this is just not enough cranberry juice to be calling this product a sparking cranberry drink.

Ingredient List
The product is still tasty, but is not a true cranberry drink. If you're looking for that cranberry taste you won't find it here.

Cetaphil Antibacterial Gentle Cleansing Bar

For those with eczema or other skin conditions, this cleanser is fantastic. It's not a soap, as it doesn't have all the chemicals or fragrances that bar soaps have. The cleansing bar doesn't make as many suds, but it does the job. I suffer from eczema, on both my hands and feet. After trying cortizone creams on the areas with eczema, I realized that the creams were not doing anything for them. Once one area was healing, another area would start to get dry and itchy. Ever since I started using this soap, the occurrence of my eczema has decreased dramatically. I have not had any flare-ups in about a month! As long as I use this soap, my skin stays moisturized and there is no eczema. I strongly recommend it for people that are prone to certain skin conditions, especially those that suffer from dry, itchy skin. This cleanser does the trick!
