Aloe Gel Skin Repair

All Terrain Skin Relief Gel with Aloe, 2-OunceWe love this product! Well, as long as you get the right one. The pictures and descriptions for the product are all mixed up. The All TERRAIN Aloe Gel SKIN RELIEF is Paraben-Free. If you look closely at the pictures you will see the picture for it with the description of the SKIN REPAIR which is not. The picture for SKIN REPAIR is on the SKIN RELIEF product description I matched the tube pictures and received the wrong one because I didn't check the description closely enough. The SKIN REPAIR description says Paraben-Free, but the ingredients are correct and lists the parabens. They fixed it to my satisfaction when I called to return it. I just didn't want anyone else to make the same mistake. It would be hard to re-order with confidence here. The SKIN RELIEF is fabulous! We use it for tons of stuff. It's especially great on my son's eczema.

i've been having skin problems related to mold allergies since july. this wonderful product is one of many skin care treatments that i have been using.

many thanks for such a wonderful aloe gel.

Aloe Gel provides relief to dry skin.

I am a repeat buyer of this product over a number of years. Enough said.

This aloe has been thickened (but who knows how...) and has way too much fragrance added to it for me to recommend it highly. Too bad, I like All Terrain's herbal insect repellant, so thought I'd like this too. But it's an assault to my nose

This was recommended to me when I was in Boulder, CO years ago and I've used it ever since. It's the best way to soothe and heal sunburns quickly and it dramatically eliminates peeling.

Howard Leight Max 1D Earplugs Bulk Refill Dispenser 500 pairs

Howard Leight Max 1D Earplugs Bulk Refill Dispenser 500 pairsFirst, I these plugs are great, and I know, because I've used plugs every night for a decade, and have used all shapes, sizes, materials, and price ranges. I also use them during the day at times to create some quiet for reading, work, or just QT. Nothing comes close to these except Flens cotton/wax (if you don't mind the oily feel; I love them at night).

And now that I've put in a good plug for these plugs, click on the pricing and ask yourself who would pay more for 500 pair than for 600 pair (3 sets of 200 pair, for the mathematically challenged). The answer is that few would pay it (though Barnum said there is always one). But the very presence of this "option" causes the price for 200 to appear relatively cheap-a real bargain--so more will buy them than if there had not been the pricier option.

I was fascinated to read some of the psychology of marketing, and how we can be tricked into buying something we'd not have been interested in otherwise. There are excellent examples in the book "Predictable Irrational" (eye-opening and fun book). Such approaches work great with magazine subscriptions, from National Geographic to Harvard Business Review, and people spend small fortunes to get the "freebie" when we all know nothing is free.

I do not, in the least, fault these sellers for their psychological tricks, because it is a great price, regardless. But as the economy tightens, marketers are getting savvier, so it pays to make sure we know the true value of a product, versus its price. Frustrating sometimes--but fun if you take it as a challenge.

Sweet dreams with these plugs...

Advil - Ibuprofen Tablets, 50 Two-Packs/Box - Sold As 1 Box - Packaged for individual use to replen

Advil - Ibuprofen Tablets, 50 Two-Packs/Box - Sold As 1 Box - Packaged for individual use to replenish first aid stations and kits.I purchased this to replace expired meds in various first aid kits. I purchased this at the end of February 2013 and the expiration date on the package is 9/2013. This is pretty lame and I wish Amazon had some quality control over this.

PROS: It is Advil. Which is useful.

CONS: Expiration date only 6 months after purchase.

They fit our purpose which was one of the items in our adult piñata , only issue I can see is the expiration date was relatively short, I think it was about 12 months from the time we purchased and I figured a few years would have been the norm.

Can't go wrong with Advil, however the expiration date only gave me 4 months to use it all. I wish the expiration dates were posted, at least so we know they are way too short before buying.

Adventure Medical Kits SOL Fire Lite with Tinder-Quik

Adventure Medical Kits SOL Fire Lite with Tinder-QuikThese are great out of the box. After sustained use they become unreliable where the wheel just spins and no spark. I have ordered a bunch and seen different results from each so maybe I got a few that were lemons. For me to much of a risk to take. I will stick with the Spark-Lite Fire-starters which I have used with good success or better yet the Ultimate Survival Technologies BlastMatch Fire Starter. The BlastMatch is a bit more expensive but well worth the cost. They seem to hold up better. Thanks.

I have a smaller survival kit from SOL brand. when I saw their Origin kit I was tempted to get it too. after reading the details of its content, I realized that I already have most of the stuff the new kit contains. however this Fire Lite is so small and light weight and it can add to the survival kit I currently own. now I really don't need to spend another $20 or more on the new kit.

works perfectly. The little 'lighter' puts out good sparks and the treated cotton ignites quickly. Buy with confidence it will work and it's light.

Can't ask for anything lighter, smaller, or more capable. Current USGI survival kit piece (in OD of course). Bought 2, one for each of my wife's & my Bug Out Bags. These won't be our primary firestarters, but go into an emergency kit in a belt pouch to carry on our persons. They work great with Vaseline/cotton ball tinder.

Doo Gro Medicated Hair Vitalizer

Doo Gro Medicated Hair Vitalizer Mega Thick Anti-Thinning Formula, 4 OunceI have thick hair, and had been growing out my relaxer for 9 months. Usually I wear braids or a ponytail, I decided to get a special hairstyle for my Birthday.

I nearly fell out 2 weeks ago, when I removed a sew-in weave only to discover my sides were very thin, and missing. There was much more shedding than usual. One side of my temples was worse than the other, and looked bald with very minimal hair surrounding the thinned out area.

I was literally tearful for about 2 days, and just saddened by my hair loss. My hair has been long all my life until now.

Doo Gro was there to help me. There's a Money Back Gurantee if the product doesn't work. It smells really good, and 4 oz. goes a long ways so it's worth the price. It gives the hair a shiny lustre, use it sparingly so you don't overgrease your hair. It helps to combat dryness of hair, and made my hair feel softer and manageable. It also helped me with my tangles, my hair was a mess after that weave.

I dried my tears and got myself together to face my problem. I got my ends cut, and had my daughter massage my hair entirely with Doo Gro. I massaged my temples especially, took some vitamins only for 2 days. So I would say the combo of massaging, and Doo Gro I did see improvement. My hair looks fuller in that section considering the trauma. I actually have a thin cover up layer in the thin section without pulling hair from other areas.

No more tight weaves for me, but I plan on trying other Doo Gro products and I will continue using this product. No complaints from me. I'm one happy sista whose sides are once again growing back. Be patient, find a healthy hair regimen and you'll see results. I plan on restarting my vitamins, and I should have double growing power!

This product worked for me, that's why I gave it 5 stars.

....how wonderful this vitalizer is. I use it twice a week and my new growth is amazing thick, and it's coming in fast. I decide to go natural last july and I started to use this then. My hair is now 80% natural now! I only have like 3 inches of perm left, and Im about to chop that off :P

This product is great for repairing damaged or missing baby hairs around the edges of hairline.I'm on my second jar and it does work. It does have a slight med smell so I recommend using it at bedtime. You will not notice a difference right away, but in a few months hair will begin to show where you placed the grease. Note: IT DID NOT THICKEN my hair but generated regrowth of fine hairs in the areas of usage. For this reason, I gave only 4 stars.

Follow the directions and happy growing.

I really love this product, I mix it with Wheat germ oil and use it to grease my scalp. I'm natural and my hair tends to dry out when i use water based products alone, so using doo gro with this helps my hair to retain moisture longer.

We have been using this product for years. I use to help keep my hair somewhat manageable when I put it into a pony tail.

Valeo 4-Inch VLP Performance Low Profile Belt

Valeo 4-Inch VLP Performance Low Profile BeltI am very happy with this belt, great value and very comfortable. I have been using it on my heaviest sets of squats, deadlifts and cleans. Much easier to wear for cleans than a leather belt. Maybe not quite as much support as a leather belt for heavy squats, but I am much more comfotable using it. Its low profile makes it nice for cleans and snatch. The velcro strap gets plenty tight and is "infinitely" adjustable.

I always worked out completely raw, which is without straps or a belt. But after reading about the benefits of using a belt for abdominal pressure, I picked up this cheap belt. Cheap as in price and not in quality, this belt holds up well and provides the support I wanted. The nylon belt is preferred over leather for olympic style weightlifting, but provides enough support for heavy squatting and deadlifting. Best addition to my workouts at a great price.

Previous reviewer was right, I am a size 32" waist, and ordered the Medium sized belt per the size chart, sadly the belt was too small and had to return it and purchase a Large sized belt from Amazon instead. The quality of the belt is good, just not being able to get the right sized belt was a bit frustrating. The manufacturer's size chart should be revised to reflect the actual size.

Read Best Reviews of Valeo 4-Inch VLP Performance Low Profile Belt Here

After reading the reviews about it being smaller than what the description said, I went ahead and got the larger size (Medium). My waist size fluctuates between 29 and 30.5 inches, but upon trying it on, I realized that those reviewers probably did not realize that the belt is SUPPOSED to fit very snug, otherwise it will rise up when you squat or do other weight lifting movements. I should've gone with the description, as a small would have probably fit me more snug and still have enough velcro overlay. Sure, the medium "feels" like it fits when you first put it on, but when you start moving, it doesn't stay in one place like it should and it rides up. Plus, when I pulled it tight I ran out of space to overlay it because the belt loop got in the way to make it tighter. Otherwise, the material feels great! Enough sturdiness yet flexible enough to fit your body's natural curves. I think I will order the small, see how it fits and give the medium away to a fellow crossfitter.

The item fits well, adjusts easily, holds the adjustment, and it is made of high quality materials which are finished nicely. I would recommend it.

(This review is based solely on the price. The quality is fine.)

My daughter's school is doing a service campaign for a local children's hospital. Pediatric band-aids were requested specifically by the nursing staff. I found this exact item at Dollar General. Six boxes were purchased at the store but I wanted to supplement the donation. HOWEVER, I could not imagine paying the asking price of $5.27. That is ridiculous! I would rather give the money straight to the hospital...

These were a really big hit with my grandson but what I thought I was getting for 1 penny ended up costing me $5. Very disappointed about that and will never fall for that again. I didn't realize, that I would have to pay shipping which costed over $4 for a box of band aids.

3M Coban Self-Adherent Wrap - 4" x 5 Yards

3M Coban Self-Adherent Wrap - 4' x 5 Yards -I'm a runner with a tendon in my left arch that constantly pops out of place during my runs, and yes it's painful. This works great to hold the loose tendon in place. I've experimented with wrapping it directly on my skin and over my tight-fitting running sock. Both methods work well and are comfortable, but the over-the-sock method is just a little more comfortable and easier to remove (with a blunt scissors). Don't need much, just a foot or so to wrap around the rach.

Aloe Gator Green Stuff Aloe Vera Gel (8-Ounce)

Aloe Gator Green Stuff Aloe Vera GelOf all the Aloe gel we have tried, this is the best! My family went on vacation and my husband got a horrible sunburn! We bought this at the hotel gift shop and lathered it on 3 times/day. He never peeled! Once we discovered it, we now buy it on Amazon and never leave home without it. I haven't seen it anywhere else, so thanks to Amazon for carrying it. It feels good when it goes on. It doesn't feel sticky and dries quickly. Get the Green Stuff! It works!

I have tried all of the after too much sun products and this one is the best. Besides the aloe vera it has some special additives which make this the one to get to avoid peeling. It just seems to work better than the others. You won't regret having this in your summer bag for those days you over expose.

This has more ingredients than some Aloe Vera gels, fragrance and color being the most notable. Certainly, it cools and heals sunburn, but who sells the safest, least adulterated Aloe Vera?

Flents Plastic Eye Wash Cup

Flents Plastic Eye Wash CupFlints plastic eye was cup is great to use. It's slightly larger than the glass eye wash cup I had and that makes it easier to use. I highly recommend this cup for anyone who has a problem using one or just wants the easy use of using a larger eye wash cup.

This eye wash cup is shaped to fit around the eye and works better for me than a flat edged eye cup.

Originally, I was looking to buy a glass eyewash cup and did, in fact, order one. However, I was notified that it became unavailable.

Then I noticed this item, and ordered it, and thought that might work better for me anyway as I tend to 'break things'. I use a tincture daily in my eyes so I use this every day. I'm quite pleased with it and only wish that it was BPA free.

I may order some more to have in various parts of the house or travel bags.

Dynarex Alcohol Prep Pad, Medium, 200 Count (Pack of 5)

Dynarex Alcohol Prep Pad, Medium, 200 CountI was quite surprised when a box arrived and I opened it! Instead of 1 box of 200 alcohol wipes (I'm a diabetic and need them for blood sugar testing and cleaning tops of insulin bottles) and instead there were 5 boxes of 200 each! Needless to say, I won't be needing alcohol wipes for a while. Product works just as well as expensive brands.

Excellent product for the price. I would recommend this product to anyone who takes injections. You can't beat the package deal on this product.

Antiseptic Wipe Benzalkonium BZK First Aid Wipes 100/Box

Antiseptic Wipe Benzalkonium BZK First Aid Wipes 100/BoxThe Benzalkonium Chloride product I rec'd was a cheap brand made in China, not the PDI that is pictured. You wouldn't put a picture of a well established brand to sell a less reliable brand of soup or a car or anything else. It certainly shouldn't be done for a health product.

Yes, I know that's not what they're made for or advertised for but they really work to take the itch out of gnat and mosquito bites. I have hyper-reactive skin (the bites get really big and itch for days) but one good swipe with this wipe and the itch stops within a half hour and DOES NOT COME BACK. Used it on my grand-daughter when she visited for the summer and it worked on her without causing any skin problems. Try it for the price, what do you have to lose? They're a lot cheaper than the sting-ease products and just as effective.

I like these towelettes for cleaning around a wounded area and cleaning hands prior to helping a family member bandage a wound. If you have a medical condition that requires cleansing prior to treatment twice a day you can use quite a few towelettes. These appear to be the same ones the nurse uses prior to drawing a blood sample in my doctors office. If it works for them, it should work for me.

The reason I purchase them from Amazon is that I have trouble finding them locally. I could drive 20 miles to a neighboring town and stopping at the surgical pharmacy. They always have them but my local pharmacy is normally out of stock.
