Walgreens Brand Oil-Free Acne Wash Review

This is a compensated post written by me on behalf of Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine.

Thanks to SocialSpark and Walgreens, I had a chance to try out Walgreens Brand Oil-Free Acne Wash. I still break out once a month, and both my tween and teen sons use acne products every day. Walgreens Brand Health & Wellness Products are pharmacist recommended, have to contain the same active ingredients as national brands, and have a 100% satisfaction guarantee. I like them because they cost less too!

Walgreens Brand Oil-Free Acne Wash costs $1.50 less than the similar national brand, which I have also used. It has a similar smell, consistency and lather, rinses clean, and doesn’t leave our faces feeling dried out.  I like being able to save money without sacrificing quality, don’t you? Everything else is so expensive – food, gas, entertainment – so it’s nice to have one area of my budget where I can know for sure that I’ll save money.

Another reason to purchase  Walgreens Brand Health & Wellness Products is that it also supports the  Walgreens Way to Well Fund™, which brings free preventative health tests as well as other health and wellness and education programs to local communities. Walgreens will contribute up to $3 million annually to this fund.  That’s another great reason to shop at Walgreens! Learn more about the fund at walgreens.com/waytowell.

Still looking for the perfect Mother’s Day gift for your Mom? Is your husband scratching his head claiming he has no idea what to get you? Here’s a list of products and sites that could be the perfect gift!

2. Download a free copy of national life balance expert Renee Trudeau’s award winningThe Mother’s Guide to Self-Renewal: How to Reclaim, Rejuvenate and Re-Balance Your Life for 48 hours: May 8th-May 10th at www.mothersguidetoselfrenewal.com

3. LOVE, MOM: Poignant, Goofy, Brilliant Messages from Home is a collection of around 250 emails, IMs, and text messages sent from Mothers to their Daughters.  From the authors of the hilarious Postcards From Yo Momma blog.  Funny, sweet, and entertaining, LOVE, MOM is the ideal Mother’s Day gift for Moms with a good sense of humor!

4. Bedtime Stories on DVD or Blu-Ray (DVD has a single disc package or a two-disc set with digital copy for eight bucks more).  Adam Sandler stars as a man who makes up bedtime stories for his niece and nephew only to find out they came true the next day. Rated PG.

5. SoftHands and Deep Moisture from Softress- soothe Mom’s dry hands and skin with luxurious blends of plant oils and antioxidants, no added fragrances, so gentle they are edible!

6. For Moms that love candles, Febreze has come out with their Exotic Destinations collection, with three candles whose scent is reminiscent of Brazil, Hawaii, or Morocco. They look pretty, smell great, last a long time, and aren’t expensive- score!

7. Blogger Dawn Meehan, who I met at the Campbell’s event earlier this year, wrote a really funny book titled “Because I Said So“. Dawn and her husband have six kids and there’s never a dull moment! Her book would make a great gift for Moms who like to read funny, irreverent parenting stories.

8. Does your Mom/Wife like to cook?  Give her  one-year subscription to online meal-planning site emealsforyou. Use code MOMCKS-23 to get a 12-month subscription for only $29.00!

9.  Let Mom spend a day relaxing and escaping into romantic 19th century England with Pride & Prejudice on Blu-Ray or DVD. Three discs contain all five hours of the original miniseries plus a retrospective documentary with the actors looking back on the filming (alas, Colin Firth does not appear), a walking tour of the shooting locations, and an A&E Biography episode about Jane Austen. Available in stores and on Amazon.

10. Speaking of relaxing, show your Mom you know she deserves “Me Time” with a Me Time t-shirt.  Whether it’s her own box of chocolates to savor, time for a long bath, or even uninterrupted computer time, let your Mom/Wife know that you understand the importance of her having balance in her life.

These are just a few of the terrific products I’ve come across for Mother’s Day gifts. Or for buying any time of the year!

Win a $25 Target GC & an amazing prize pack!

This giveaway is closed. Congratulations to the winner, comment #81- Amy’s Bad Groove!

I recently wrote about the Vaseline Clinical Therapy “Prescribe the Nation” campaign on MomReviews. I told my readers there about how I received Vaseline Clinical Therapy Lotion to try for myself, and how I immediately “prescribed” it to my husband for his super-dry skin, and how the results were outstanding.

You may have already seen the TV commercials where you meet Petal Ruch, the woman from Kodiak Alaska who was the first person in her community  to receive Vaseline Clinical Therapy Lotion.  She then recommended it to her family and friends who shared it with their family and friends and so forth, eventually over 600 people in Kodiak, Alaska were using Vaseline Clinical Therapy Lotion.

Not only do I think each of my Table for Five readers should immediately try Vaseline Clinical Therapy Lotion and start “prescribing” it to everyone they know, but I’ve also got a AMAZING prize pack to give away, courtesy of the terrific folks at M80.  One lucky winner will receive all of this:

A $25.00 Target gift card

A Kona Gift Basket with coffee, tea, candy, and more

Godiva Chocolates

And a bottle of Kiehl’s shampoo.

Edited to add: And a bottle or two of the Vaseline Clinical Therapy Lotion of course! I can’t believe I forgot to mention that!
