One UU tonight:
Sensodyne Repair & Protect Toothpaste 75ml WDBA and have. A really nice toothpaste that helps my sensitive teeth and it doesn't contain SLS which makes my mouth burn. I'm going to use the Regenerate sample first before I open my back up tube of this.I love this toothpaste too. It's my favourite of all the Sensodyne ones.
I have sensitive teeth and find that Sensodyne actually makes no difference, I use Oral B Pro-Expert and find that's really good, it takes a LOT of the edge off!
I've also found sensitive mouthwashes to be no good, I use Dentyl now, the only one I've found that doesn't make me wince!No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2023

I can't use Oral B toothpastes, they make the inside of my mouth shed :eek: And I prefer Sensodyne as it has no SLS in it0 -
My new colleague is adding to my stash. She orders really fancy products to be delivered at work and gives me the free samples. I can't let them go to waste :-):

The good news is I've not added to my stash the past year other than to replace essentials such as mouthwash. I've stopped bath bombs as I can no longer use my bath much. But still have an awful lot to work through so thought I'd join in again and challenge myself to actively use up more again!No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2015/2016/2017/2018

Great to see you again Gemzie, hope the job is going well, can't believe it is a year either. I'm still plodding along too, but trying to be systematic in using up products, and trying to buy as little as possible, not managing a no buy, but doing much better.The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.

1 UU - Clinique Fresh Pressed Renewing Powder Cleanser with Vitamin C
I was suspicious of this but I'm amazed at the results. There are 28 individual sachets to use each morning so you get one month's supply in one box. It is however expensive and I don't really like the extra packaging.
My skin is brighter and less pigmented, although I must say it wasn't really much at first place.I have a half used Vitamin C cleanser from Murad. I am going to UU it first.
I've re-ordered Clinique one last night as Caroline Hirons had a 10% off code. Once arrived, I will declare the INs.ally.0 -

Hello Gemzie, good to see you back. I've been sent some Ameliorate 'exfoliating body lotion' to review, could be interesting,I've never had anything like this before. It contains AHAs, so I think the idea is for people to use it now, to get rid of winter skin dryness and bumps, ready for exposure in the summer.
You'd possibly expect it to be a thick lotion verging on a cream, but it's not, although presented in a tube, it's as runny as most baby lotions.
Something different to try, anyway.Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.0
