Clears up zits quickly; perfect size for travel4
I am in my late 30s but still occasionally get zits around the hair line. Recently, I tried both the Avon Pore-Fection Oil Free Skin Clearing Gel and the Clearskin Immediate Response Spot Treatment. Both products are excellent in reducing redness and quickly drying out the blemishs.

Of the two, I have a slight preference for the Pore-Fection as it seems to be slighly more gentle on your face. When I applying the Clearskin product, I occasionally feel a slight sting on the trouble spot. While the sensation is not unpleasant, I have never felt any stinging with the Pore-Fection product.

From a packaging perspective, the Clearskin product is well designed for business travelers.

It does the job4
This product comes in a tiny little tube, and you simply apply it to any blemishes and leave it on overnight. When you wake up, blemishes are either dimished or gone altogether. The only drawback is that it doesn't always work, but it is more effective than most products.

Doesn't work that well1
This stuff does not make my acne disappear overnight. It doesn't even work on consecutive uses on the same acne spots. All it does is dry up on my skin and peel off. At best, it may calm the skin and prevent new acne from forming.

A gentle way to stay regular...5
My doc thinks this is a good product for me. It's a gentle way to stay regular.

Sometimes you need these .... they work as good as Colace5
This is the exact same stuff as Colace and you will save a bucketload of money if you use these frequently and don't mind an off-brand. There are many medications I buy generically, and this is one if them.

This does exactly what it is intended to do. Soften things and and prevent the stress and strain of a hard or dry stool. Embarrassing topic? Not really, just a fact of life.

If you take medicines such as narcotics or anti-depressants, your Doc might recommend Colace. This version works just as well and provides a good value.

Ongoing Need4
Have been using this product for a couple years now. Haven't found anything better, especially for the price. This will, however, be my LAST purchase online as I find I can get it from Costco direct and not have to pay shipping charges. Sorry 'bout that!

   

Oral B- Power Replacement Heads EB-17
From BRAUN

ORAL B-EB17 FLEXISOFT REPLACEMENT BRUSHES FOR ALL MODELS OF BRAUN PLAQUE REMOVERS.THESE 4 BRUSH HEADS FIT ALL BRUAN ORAL-B TOOTHBRUSHERS.EXTRA SOFT ROUND BRISTLES TO PROTECT TEETH AND CLEAN BETWEEN TEETH

  • Amazon Sales Rank: #32384 in Health and Beauty
  • Brand: Oral B
  • Model: EB17-4


An easy, safe, effective way to brush5
Dentists all over the country are recommending the Oral-B electric toothbrush. There are several reasons. It does the work for you, vibrating thousands of times a second, massaging your gums, it lets you clean your teeth without scraping your gums with a toothbrush, which can cause them to recede and bleed, and it reaches between your teeth to catch plaque and germs. This is a wonderful toothbrush, and I recommend it. However, if you want a review of a toothbrush, you'll read the toothbrush page. This is a page for replacement heads.

There's a lot of confusion about replacement heads for Oral B electric toothbrushes on Amazon, and I just want to give you all some facts. There are only three kinds of heads for ALL Oral-B electric toothbrushes. Flexisoft EB17, Extrasoft EB17, and Ortho OD17. I prefer Flexisoft EB17, which is what this item is. (The Extrasoft is a little too soft, and the Ortho is overpriced)

The reason I mention this is that the prices are all over the board for what is the same product. For example, this listing is for four Flexisoft EB17 heads for $12.99 (The EB17-4 just means there are four of them). There are other offers through Amazon partners for this exact same item for up to $24.99. Make sure you find the best deal, because they're all the exact same product, listed multiple times at different prices! Currently, this listing is the best price for this item, but it might not always be in the future.

Superb brush head, affordably priced5
These are the basic Flexisoft EB17 heads for adult users of any Braun Oral-B toothbrush (even the newer 3-D models). The blue bristles will fade and help indicate when replacement is in order (in case you don't see the bristles splaying out). Always have a pack around, nice for guests too. Prices vary, but about $5 per head in packs of 3, 4, 6 is a good value.

These standard EB17s may be too firm for younger brushers. Search for the Extrasoft EB17 for your kids, they're essentially the same as those packaged with Disney or cartoon characters at a more reasonable price. (Do you need to pay $2-5 more for a picture Sleeping Beauty on the brush head?)

Make sure you find the right deal on Amazon.com5
The reason I wanted to write a review about the Oral B power toothbrush heads is when I was trying to buy them on Amazon, I found so many listed on its website with different prices, I was little confused, after I spent about half hour comparing of the listings, I found out that lots of them are same product, and listed multiple times, the number after the dash, like EB 17-3, it means how many toothbrush heads in the package, you can easily find the best deal by taking a look at all the products offered on Amazon, and dividing the cost by the number of heads. The price on Amazon.com is much lower than the local drug stores.

battery comment4
I have been using an epilator for years, so for 'newbies' just a few comments-
YES- the pain gets better. Stick with it. I use it for everything- upper lip, underarms, legs, bikini- and I don't need any special soothing creams or gentle 'caps' or anything. I barely even feel it. You can get there.

It definitely beats shaving.

But I would say that the "hair free for 4-6 weeks" claim is bunk. If I go more than 2 weeks or so, it's noticeable. Now, the hair is softer and lighter so even if it's there it's not awful- but if you are expecting to be totally silky smooth for a month- no.

And on that note- I'm not sure I'm EVER 100% silky smooth. there are always a few little fine hairs it can't get, or a few that break. It's not like that JUST shaven feeling. (but, that just shaven feeling only lasts what, an hour?)

But the reason I'm writing this review-
I've had several epilators, and have tried pretty much every model of the silk-epil. I was so excited about two things on this one: the rechargeable battery, and the wet/dry ability.

First re: the wet/dry- I tried it in the shower- It didn't work NEARLY as well. missed tons of hairs. I think the fact that you can get it wet is meant more so you can clean it- not use it in the tub. But, maybe that's just me, maybe I should try it again.

And the battery- I honestly wish I had saved money and gotten the corded one. The charge doesn't last long enough, and it gets wimpy at the end. Even if I plug it in, it's wimpy until the battery gets some charge back. And worst of all- if I use it too much, I think maybe it overheats- it gets really hot and seems to strain the battery, and it will just totally die. I have to leave it alone for 5-10 min, and then I can go again just for maybe 3 minutes.

I really think this has to do with the battery and charging system.

So my recommendation would be to save money and get the corded version. After all- where are you going to be using it that it's so hard to be near an outlet?

Worth the money and the pain!5
I purchased this epilator at Bed Bath and Beyond with a gift card. Otherwise, I would have purchased it from Amazon because I love Amazon.com :)
Anyways, I love this epilator. I have tried quite a few of them and this works so well I can't even describe it. I have used it in the shower so far and love the results. I love that it charges is an hour and lasts for 40 minutes as well.
I definately recommend buying this product if you are looking for a good epilator.
Regarding the pain, it does get better over time. Also, if you want to purchase additional attachments go to: theessentials.com and look under Braun, lady shaving and epilation, epilator parts. The prices aren't bad.

worth it's price!5
Since I have a very sensitive skin and low pain threshold I really couldn't use older models of any epilators and this is the first one that really works with me. First of all, red dots: yes, they appear all over the place where I was using it but do not last for longer than ~10 h (so I epilate legs in the evenings, before going to sleep, follow with J&J baby olive and in the morning dots are gone). Pain: for the first two times it was pretty painful, however, not as bad as I remember from my very first experience with epilators. I have already used it for about 5 times and I don't have any problems with pain that I can't stand (my tip: if you're REALLY afraid of pain have a glass of whisky or brandy 15 min prior to epilation- it helps!). What I noticed it's much better to use larger speed even in case of beginners- it hurts less. Ingrown hair: this is something no epilator can help, just remember to exfoliate regularly, on daily basis- forget about any body scrubs, they don't work well in this situation, are far too gentle. I use Loofah Back Massager Brush with Ergonomic Grip Handle- works perfect not only to prevent ingrown hair but also leaves your skin very smooth without irritation.

Fabulous diffuser, not-so-universal adapter3
I think the DevaFuser is the best thing since sliced bread. Heck, it may even give it a run for its money because sliced bread doesn't give me fabulous hair.

I have long (almost waist length), fine, thin, wavy/curly hair. With a regular bowl diffuser, I get great curl enhancement on the ends but by the time my roots are dry, my ends are parched and frizzy.
My main concern is my sloooow drying roots and this diffuser is *perfect* for that. Other diffusers just leave me with dry, poufy ends and damp, limp roots; this one makes my hair happy, top to tip. Speeds things along too!


On the downside, the darn thing won't stay on my dryer! I have a Revlon tourmaline ionic and I had to literally hold the diffuser onto the end of the dryer with both hands the whole time or it would pop off. We're talkin' flying across the room here. Not cool.

I considered a new dryer and took the diffuser and adapter to Ulta to try a few. There were a couple it seemed like it *might* stay on (Rusk Speed Freak is the one that comes to mind) but none it was secure enough on that I felt comfortable with it.


BUT it must say something about this product because although I returned this kit, I just went ahead and ordered the DevaSun Dryer with the diffuser so I know they'll work together. Not too happy about dropping the better part of $200 on a hair dryer but after trying the DevaFuser, it was either that or duct tape that sucker to my Revlon. I hope the dryer is as good as the (also expensive) Rusk one I was considering.


I can't comment on the Set It Free yet because I returned it with the kit before trying it out. Went ahead and bought a bottle though.

Works with mid-size and travel dryers like a charm!4
At first, I couldn't fit the diffuser to my Vidal Sasson air dryer. I went to the local pharmacy and bought an inexpensive store brand air dryer and fit the diffuser onto it. It fit very well. I also tried it on a Conair travel dryer and it worked. Good luck!

Great product!5
I am very happy with my purchase. The diffuser fits to both my dryers with adapter included. I am a big fan of Devachan (the salon, products, and now the diffuser). DevaFuser is very convenient for drying curly hair: it drys hair fast and does not ruin your wet hair styling. I am glad that Devachan products are now available at Amazon.
