Nature's Bounty® Hair, Skin & Nails Challenge!

Laurel likes it nature's bounty hair skin nails
I received a gift package from Smiley360 to review Nature's Bounty® Hair, Skin & Nails by taking their 30 day challenge!  I have to say I am honestly impressed at how nice my nails have been since taking these.  I can't say that my hair or skin changed much but I don't think that 30 days is enough time to be able to judge that.

The gummies are delicious!  Everyone I gave the samples to agreed that they were like candy.  They didn't have any after taste or leave any strange feeling in my mouth once they were gone.  They also didn't get stuck in my teeth which was great because that really annoys me!

I found these easy to work into my daily routine of taking my multi-vitamin and probiotic.  Below is a picture of my nails!  I have not been able to grow all my nails nicely at the same time since I was taking prenatal vitamins!

Apothederm Acne Clarifying Treatment Review + Giveaway

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Even in my 30's I still struggle with breakouts.  I feel like I tried everything!  I still go back and forth between using salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide.  I have been using more benzoyl peroxide products recently so when I had the chance to review the Apothederm Acne Clarifying Treatment I took it as a good time to change again.

Apothederm Acne Clarifying Treatment is both a treatment for acne but also minimizes pore size and keeps skin balanced.  The 1% salicylic acid is an anti-inflammatory that also exfoliates dead skin cells to help reduce pore size and sebum build up.  It also has Oligopeptide-10 Patented SmartPeptide® technology that has skin calming properties, shown to help bind cellular toxins as well as glycerin which is a humectant that draws moisture to skin.

According to the instructions you can put it on the affected area up to three times a day unless excessive drying occurs then reduce the use.  I started out with twice a day and had no problems with dryness.  The product had a minimal smell and no dyes which I like.  Even though I have breakouts, my skin is also very sensitive.  It absorbed very quickly and I didn't feel like I had anything on my face once it was dry.  I found that one and a half to two pumps was enough for my face.

I have been using this every day for a few weeks now and I like this product and the way it makes my skin feel.  It definitely helped to control my breakouts. even the hormonal ones.  I was happy that it didn't dry my face out and cause peeling.
