CLOSED: Skin Free Review and Giveaway (BTSC- Day 25)

The winner for this giveaway has been chosen by Random.org and is announced on this post

After Bunny girl's birth, I developed anything but cute little pock marks on my cheeks. I've tried everything under the sun to get them to disappear but so far nothing has worked. I decided to give a Skin Free product a shot.

The little I read about Skin Free intrigued me enough to want to experiment their face scrub.
Yes I know, you want to know what it was I read, right?
Well...I read all Skin Free products are:

• 100% natural
• 100% non toxic, non irritant, fragrance free, minus any petroleum derivatives and animal products (When you read all this, it really makes you wonder what all actually goes into a regular skin care product...ugh!)
  
• Recommended for people with extremely dry skin, eczema, dermatitis, pregnant moms, sensitive skin ((I don't fall into any of the categories mentioned but I figured if the product caters to the categories mentioned, I'm sure it had to work for an oily-dry skin combo!)
• Affordable (Plus they have this super deal...buy one of the 3 specified Skin Free products from Walgreens or CVS, send in your receipt to Skin Free and pick one free product from the site to be mailed to you.)
  

I really wanted to try out the Niaouli Scrub for blemish prone skin and the people at Skin Free threw in 2 more products for review, so here's what came in..

Skin Free's After Shower Moisture Spritz, The Niaouli Scrub and the Extra Moisturizing Soap.


Here's what I thought about the products I tried:

I actually did like the Niaouli Scrub and though Skin Free specifies all their products are fragrance free, I felt all 3 products had a very nice distinct smell that I can't specifically tap down to a particular scent. It's a mixture of various herby-minty scents that actually is really nice.
The Niaouli Scrub has not removed my pock marks nor have they really reduced but I do know the oiliness in my skin has reduced considerably after regular use of the scrub. (Plus I love the smell!). The Scrub is made up of some really great ingredients like organic macadamia nut oil, extra virgin olive oil, shea butter and sweet almond. (Sounds good enough to eat!!)
A 4 oz bottle costs 15.99$

The After Shower Moisture Spritz is to be used right after a shower, to ensure your skin does not lose its moisture and stays hydrated with the mixture of olive oil, sweet almond oil and Vitamin E. I felt the Olive oil scent was a little strong and I did expect it to be a little too greasy once sprayed on but was pleasantly surprised to note it acted like a lotion, once rubbed into the skin.
An 8 fl. oz bottle costs 11.99$

Awarded the National Eczema Association's Seal Of Acceptance, the Extra Moisturizing Soap and Shampoo bar is made creamy with extra virgin oil and moisturizing with shea and cocoa butter. I've not used this as a shampoo bar but as a soap bar, I have to say it does not leave your skin dry after use. ( With an oily-dry skin combo like mine this is great as it does not dry my skin, nor leave it looking greasy! ) It is a highly recommended for people with sensitive skin and I say, people with oily-dry skin combos.
A bar (3.5 oz) only costs 3.99 $
