VERDICT
January 3rd, 2017 - Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath: Not a fan. It was horrible as a shampoo, it left my hair very stripped and stringy feeling, and as a shower gel and bubble bath it was just ok. Didn't find it to be very hydrating and when I went to use it as a bubble bath it didn't really bubble up very well. I feel like I had to use a ton of product to get a decent amount of bubbles going. The only pro with this product is that it smells good. It smells like sweet strawberry yogurt...not that the scent lasts. Once you get out of the shower/tub it dissipates rather quickly. Also, this contains SLS if you're ingredient conscious.
Body Lotion: The lotion is better than the shampoo/shower gel/bubble bath, but still not great. It smells really good, this also smells like sweet strawberry yogurt, but once you rub it into your skin the scent changes and it doesn't smell as good. Also, I HATE the packaging. I can't squeeze the lotion out of the bottle. After the first couple uses which were still a struggle to squeeze out, I now have to unscrew the cap and bang it out like a ketchup bottle because the plastic bottle is not very flexible and squeeze friendly.
As for the actual performance of the lotion, this would probably fare better and be better suited for the spring or fall. While it does provide hydration and moisture, I don't think it's hydrating and healing enough for the winter. However, it does leave your skin feeling soft and smooth. It's kind of weird because it's not hydrating enough so it feels a bit dry and not necessarily rough, but textured I guess would be the right word, yet somehow still soft and smooth. I know you're thinking how can something be dry and textured yet still soft and smooth and I have no idea, but apparently it is possible because that's how this lotion makes my skin feel.
OVERALL: I would pass on the set. It smells nice, but just doesn't really perform. There are better cheaper lotions out there and there are definitely better shampoo/shower gel/bubble baths out there.
Size: 3 oz, 8 oz, 16 oz, 24 oz, or 32 oz

VERDICT
I LOVE this cleanser. It's very gentle, yet effective and it performs even better when used in conjunction with a Foreo device. I use this with my Luna Go and it does a beautiful job of cleansing my face whilst leaving it hydrated, soft and smooth...a perfect balance of hydration, softness and smoothness. Sometimes a cleanser will leave my face more smooth than soft, sometimes more soft than smooth, sometimes not so hydrated, but this gives me a perfect balance of all three. Wether you have sensitive skin, acne prone skin, oily skin, dry skin, or combo I think anyone would like this.
Unlike the creamy whipped or gel textures that I'm used to, this ones got a silkier milky formula that doesn't lather up with bubbles. I just spread a quarter sized amount of product onto my face and go in with my Foreo.
It is a bit on the pricier side, but surprising it lasts a lot longer than I thought it would. Highly recommend. I will definitely be repurchasing this to continue to use with my Foreo.
