Essie Essie Apricot Cuticle Oil

Essie Essie Apricot Cuticle OilThis was about half the price it usually sells for, I found out why when it arrivedit's in the wrong bottle. But who cares, the product is fantastic, wish I had ordered more at this price.

I use this cuticle oil several times a week, brushing it on my cuticles at night before bedtime. It's helped soften my dry cuticles and keep them healthy.

Smells good and applies easily. The real test will be how it handles with directions followed. Apply twice a day it says. I have on my desk at work and plan to apply twice a day for beautiful nails. We'll see!

This is okay, I'm not impressed but I do love the smell. I like that it brushes on but I do not feel that really does much for the health of my cuticles.

Want Essie Essie Apricot Cuticle Oil Discount?

I love Essie polishes and was excited to order this cuticle oil because my cuticles are in bad shape. After multiple applications, my cuticles are dry and in the same, if not worse, shape as before using it. What a disappointment. On the upside, it is easy to use and doesn't have a bad odor.

3M-1621 Dressing Tegaderm First Aid Wound LF St Film 4x4-3/4" 50/Bx by 3M Part No. 1621

3M-1621 Dressing Tegaderm First Aid Wound LF St Film 4x4-3/4' 50/Bx by 3M Part No. 1621These bandages are very economical on amazon. The bandages themselves are very effective the only drawback being you have to be very careful when applying them because the ends have a tendency to not stick flat without wrinkles if you do it hastily. With patience, practice and skill it goes on well. Waterproof for when you have to take a shower and has very good adhesive qualities to last several days.

Doctor's Choice Slow Healing Open Wound Bandages 8 ea

Doctor's Choice Slow Healing Open Wound Bandages 8 eaI fell down and ended up with a 1/4" chunk of gravel in my knee. After digging the gravel out, I called my doctor to see if I needed to see him for any specialized treatment (such as checking for more gravel, or a more thorough cleansing than I was able to do). He said he would've done the same thing I already did, and to cover it to prevent infection, and then he told me what signs to look for (for serious infection). Things like fever, being impossible to walk, green drainage. I never got any of those symptoms, but the sore just wasn't healing properly.

Then I bought several boxes of these bandages -the shipping on several boxes was the same as with one box, and now I have more for emergencies. After I started using these, the sore where I had dug out the gravel finally started healing, and the clear drainage lessened with each day. After just a day, the hole in my knee is about half its original size (1/8" vs. the original 1/4"), and there is very little drainage building up.

I'm sure by now you're asking yourself, "Okay, if she liked it so much, why did she mark it down a star?" I marked it down a star because the inadequate directions caused me to waste one bandage. Normally, that wouldn't be a big deal, but these bandages cost me more than $1.50 for each one! What the directions should have said was that between the two protective backing papers that cover the colloidal pad, there is another piece of very stiff paper that also needs to be removed. I didn't notice the stiffness until after I had applied the bandage, and of course, since I didn't remove that extra piece of paper, the colloidal pad couldn't work its miracle. I called the company to see whether the paper was supposed to be removed. To the company's credit, the person who talked to me was their president. She said they hadn't updated the instructions yet because they had just barely changed the bandages to include the extra piece of paper (presumably to keep the colloidal pad moist). I was impressed that the president of the company actually answers questions about the products she develops herself. I wasn't so impressed that she didn't offer to at least refund enough of my purchase price to pay for that one bandage (because her company started selling the updated product without putting an updated instruction sheet in the box).

Will I buy the product again? Yes. Will I recommend it? Only if the buyer already knows that the extra piece of paper needs to be removed (which, if you've read this far into my review, you already know).

Oh, one more thing... You may notice that you can buy these bandages in an 8-pack or a 10-pack. The price for both is the same, but the product description doesn't say why (at least not on Amazon). So I went to the Marketplace sellers direct website (drugstore.com). I learned that the 8-pack has colloidal pads on the bandages, and the 10-pack bandages have gauze pads. Neither type of pad is better than the other, but they each have applications at which they excel. For instance, the gauge bandage is better at absorbing excess drainage. I used the bandages with gauze pads for the first week after my injury. Then when my drainage from my wound had slowed down to the point that it was no longer causing my entire knew to swell up, I switched to the colloidal pads.

Humane Healing Cat Wound Ointment, 2-Ounce

Humane Healing Cat Wound Ointment, 2-OunceI live with several cats (can you say crazy cat lady?). Two of my rescue cats have FIV and one of them, possibly because of his compromised immune system, has the constant problem of a recurring sore or wound on the top of one of his front paws. He has been living with me for several months and I have not been able to get the wound to completely heal. It will scab over and dry up a bit but will not go away and eventually it will open up and start bleeding again. He has been to the vet about it, I've washed it out with peroxide, applied Neosporin, used colloidal silver pretty much everything. I found out about this ointment by accident when I was doing an internet search for something else. I read the existing testimonials, was a bit skeptical, but decided to try it anyway. The ointment is quite thick and a little goes a long way I have been putting it on his foot for the past two days. This morning I went to put it on the wound again and I actually had trouble finding it! It is almost completely gone no hard, heavy scab, no bleeding, nothing. I finally found the site of the wound under the fur and applied the ointment one more time but this may be the last application. I am incredibly pleased and I highly recommend the product.

DKL1212 - Sterile Gauze Pads, 2x2, 12 Ply, 100/BX, White

DKL1212 - Sterile Gauze Pads, 2x2, 12 Ply, 100/BX, WhiteA very poor product. Gauze pads are extremely thin and non-absorbent. It's easy to understand why the price is so low. However the product is not worth the cost no matter how low.

These gauze squares were pathetic. They were so thin, that one had to use 3 of them to one of a J & J square.

The product is OK, but much thinner than store bought 12 ply pads. With this product I need two to obtain the same absorbency as with a store bought product. This takes much of the price advantage away

It takes 6 of these little buggers to equal one of any major brand gauze. Even that is not the last of the problem. The material is so rough they should be used for sandpapering furniture.

Although there were 12 layers (similar to the items sold in the retail drug stores) of gauze in each pad, the individual stands in each layer were so far apart that it took more than 6 pads to make up the thickness of one sterile gauze pad that i would normally use. Yet the price I paid for each pad was not much less than what I would normally pay at the drug store.

Quantum Research Scar Reducing Cream

Quantum Scar Reducing Cream, 21-Grams5 months ago, my face was flaring up with adult acne. I spent countless dollars on all kinds of acne treatment products with very little luck. Fortunately, the acne went away a couple of months after discovering tea tree oil, BUT all of those zits I had a few months ago left nasty scarring all over my face in the form of brown spots. Even after my acne was gone, I still felt horrible about my skin. Luckily, I found the Quantum Derma Scar Reducing Cream last week at Whole Foods, and I just decided to give it a try after much hesitation. I've been applying it 3-4 times/day everyday for a week, and I can actually see the difference in my skin! I'm not saying my skin looks flawless now and all my acne scars are gone. But, my acne scars seem noticeably lighter and some of the fainter scarring on my chin is almost gone! I'm so glad I decided to purchase this!

I purchased this at whole foods about two months after my c-section. It really helped me heal faster and better. It's worth it.

I ordered this product not really expecting much, but for the price I figured I didn't have much to lose. I get fever blisters on the corner of my mouth and have for years. I have a permanent scar/dark spot on about 1/3 of my chin from these. I have tried many expensive items promising to help the scar disappear, but after weeks of use I would get frustrated and stop using them. I even tried a chemical peel. I have been using this scar reducing cream twice a day for about a week, and my scar is already much less noticeable and you can hardly see it now other than a few little spots. I also used it on some old acne marks I had and they are almost gone as well. This product is by far the best scar treatment I have found. It helped the little pock marks that the fever blisters left, as well as the discoloration and did not dry my skin out at all. I highly recommend this product!

Three days after using religiously, my 5-year old under-eye scar is noticeably smooth and no longer bumpy. At that point, I was a believer. Now, about a week later, my other 6-year old huge scar on my elbow and leg are diminishing, my acne and burn scars on my face are also fading , and.. I am more confident than ever. Soon, I won't be afraid of wearing shorts! This stuff heals it allbug bite scars, injury scars, old scars, acne scars, heckit even stopped a recent cut of mine from scarring before it started. You apply 3-5 times a day. I would reccommend this to anyone, all day long.

For the first week this product had amazing results. The redness of my scar dissipated quickly and it was looking much improved after only 3-4 days. However after that it seemed to slow down in effectiveness, but maybe it's just my particular scar? Either way, this product is more than worth it considering the price compared to Mederma.

Recommended. Would have given it 5 stars if not for the slowdown in effectiveness, but again it might just be my particular scar.

Bris Step - Foot Rest Designed for Rabbinical Circumcision - Compact to Fold & Fit in Mohel Bag

Bris Step - Foot Rest Designed for Rabbinical Circumcision - Compact to Fold & Fit in Mohel BagI've been searching for a small collapsible step stool to carry in my diaper bag for my 3 year old son. When I came across this one, I thought I'd give it a try. It worked great!! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because you have to be careful when using it on a tile surface, like a bathroom floor. It tends to slip around so I just put rubber tabs on the bottoms of the legs, which prevented it from slipping. All in all, this makes a great, portable travel potty stool (mostly for boys)!!

FUTURO Splint Wrist Brace, Black, Medium 1 ea

FUTURO Splint Wrist Brace, Black, Medium 1 eaThis wrist splint is very comfortable; it is light weight and firm; it keeps the wrist immobile while allowing for easy finger movement. Cool because it's permeable and you don't have to worry about getting a left vs right model; use for either hand. Cool black color too. But for all around office/keyboarding use, I'd take the "Smart Glove" any day. THAT is a five star product.

I ordered this brace to trade off with an older one I already had. This was so much more comfortable than my old one, I had trouble talking myself into switching them from day to day. Felt like it was a good product for the money.

Tea Tree 100% Pure Essential Oil - 10 ml

Tea Tree 100% Pure Essential Oil - 10 mlAt first i was apprehensive about putting oil on my skin since i have extremely oily/acne prone skin. I have a few pimples on my cheeks that hurt so much that sometimes i had to wake up in the middle of the night due to the pain i felt when i turned my face on the pillow. So i decided to give it a try and i order this and i have to say wow.... I applied a drop on a cotton swab directly to the pimples. At first you feel very tinglely but then i notice that my pimple didn't hurt. next day the pinple was dry.. nothing has worked for me like this and i have tried everything. I guess is true what they say natural things are better. Now i use it a few times a week at night time i add 5 drops to my moisturizer mix it with my hands and apply it all over. I feel very fresh and i see how it has cleared my skin :) the smell is kind a strong but you will get use to it.

p.s shipping was very fast and they sent me lavender oil and an almond soap as a gift :)

I bought this product to help control acne. I just mixed it with some water and apply it to my face nightly. I've been using it for a couple of weeks and its been working well so far. People commented on the smell but I dont think it's that bad, and its gone once the oil dries. So much better than all those typical acne products. It's definitely worth a try!

Works well for treating acne. Just apply it over the pimple and its surrounding area with Q-tip. One time I see the result within a couple of hours. Most times the pimple gets smaller the next day. It does have a strong natural smell though.

3M Steri-Strip Skin Closures, Reinforced

3M STERI STRIP SKIN CLOSURES 1/8'' X 3'' 10 PKG/5This is another product I have chosen for my bug out bag. My wife and I have been in the medical field for over 30 years, and when we decided to put together a first aid kit, we decided that using a suture kit might cause more trauma that fixing. Steri strips are used in emergency rooms and even surgically for closing wounds. Yes there are times when sutures are more appropriate, but most people wouldn't have a clue how to properly use them. I might eventually get a suture kit, but for now I will use this 3m product.

I broke my arm and had to have an external stabelizer with four rods going through the skin into my arm. The rods caused the skin to tear. I used these narrow strips to prevent the tearing of the skin around the rods. The strips were very effective for this purpose.

These arrived on time and in good condition. They work well in dry areas on the skin. In any area that is moist, they let go and fall off. I augmented their attachment with a liquid bandage product. I put the liquid bandage on then the steri strip then some liquid bandage. I did not let the liquid bandage get too close to the wound and you have to be careful if the skin is thin or sensitive to the liquid bandage, if it is then just use the steri strips by them selves. Additionally, watch that tape from any bandaging doesn't get on the steri strip or when you change the bandage it is likely you will pull the steri strip(s) off as well.

Used these on a finger splint and had them wrapped around my finger for long periods of time.

They are strong and held up well to water, oils, rubbing, etc.

3M closure strips are the best I've tried so far and I've experimented with a bunch of brands from the local Rx stores.

An Emergency kit must and great to have on hand for those cuts that just do not qualify for a doctor's visit but could leave a scar if not closed up. I have used Steri Strips by 3M since the 1980's and have found them to be the answer to the Dr. Mom and or Nurse Mom role.

(When in doubt, always go to the doctor).

The vendor provided a timely shipment as promised and delivered on the goods. Thanks!

Cutters "Great Catch" Football Training Aid

Cutters 'Great Catch' Football Training AidIt is very helpful in teaching you to catch the ball with your hand and not your body. It also helps improve your ability to make strong handed catches.

Purchased these for my grandson for Christmas. They look pretty simple and I was a little wary when I opened the shipping box.

My grandson plays slot receiver for his high school. He's pretty athletic however there were several times last season where he did not catch the ball with his fingertips and it bounced off of his body for an incomplete pass. These gloves force the receiver to first catch the ball with his or her fingertips, then bring the pass in to the body for security. They work! We have been working out since Christmas and his catching has noticibly improved. His fingers and hands have become much stronger and his confidence is soaring. I can't wait for his senior football season to start.

First Aid Only 2" Non-sterile Conforming Gauze Roll Bandage

First Aid Only 2' Non-sterile Conforming Gauze Roll Bandage, 10-Count BoxThese 2" Conforming Gauze Rolls adequate (good value for $) for intented use. Don't expect the conformation of bulkier/stretchier choices, but enough stretch to readily hold minor dressings. Remember, these are non-sterile and for a top layer only.

Pack of three times ten bandage rolls makes, if my cyphering is correct, 30 rolls of bandage. Each roll is something like 2.5 yards, though that fact is not printed anywhere. It's very thin and semi-elastic, so it does conform, but it's not particularly strong, and the thinness makes it kind of hard to work with. Having said that, it's adequate to the task, but I don't think I'll buy any more of it.

We bought this to use as accent decor for an upcoming medical school gradutation party. We only wish we could have purchased it in one long roll as we ended up glueing ends together to make very long rolls. We draped it around the party room like you would crepe paper. It worked great. Decent quality and durability.

We use this as a top-dressing over Spenco 2nd Skin Moist Burn Pads, Medium, 25-Count to heal our son's painful (itchy, sometimes scratched bloody) eczema overnight. It holds the burn pads in place and isn't allergenic (to me) like the latex bandages we've used before.

We've gone through many boxes of this product, and it is reliable and always the same. The packaging is adequate and appropriate. Our son hates it, but his skin demands some pretty extreme measures every winter.

If you need a non-sterile bandage to wrap around a limb, this will work for you. It does not self-adhere. We tie a knot at the end or tuck it under itself. This is much cheaper than self-adhering, and easier for my son to get off in the morning (he hates the bandages terribly, but these do not hurt like adhesive bandages do.)

Nature's Plus - Sleep Assure Tablets 60

Nature's Plus - Sleep Assure Tablets 60I have tried quite a few different Homeopathic and Herbal Sleep Preparations. This is, so far, THE BEST one I have tried!! I took it and actually forgot I did, as I got busy with some things around the kitchen. All of a sudden, I was yawning and could barely keep my eyes open! I turned in for the night, and slept ALL night!!

AMAZING!!!!!!! I have taken it now, for a month and each night, I have slept so well and waken up refreshed. NOT groggy, or feeling like I still need to sleep.

GREAT Product and I have recommended it to a lot of others!

You have probably used other melatonin products but this is the only one I have found that is time released. Thankfully I don't have to take it every night but it helps as you age and your body does not produce as much. I agree with the other reviewer that there is no hangover. No grogginess or fog. These are more expensive than other similar products but I have been using it for eight years and won't stop.

Due to fluctuations in my hormones (I'm in the initial stages of menopause), I was experiencing mild insomnia, but just enough to affect my day. I have tried many different natural sleep aids and this is the clear-cut winner! While I may wake up in the middle of the night to go to the restroom, I can get right back to sleep. I would recommend this to anyone who awakens in the middle of the night and cannot fall back to sleep. No groggy feeling the next morning, either!
