Amazon Must Have Products Brand Don't Want You To Know About!

[@loibg1744]

Very refreshing to see someone say I DON’T KNOW instead of pretending like they are professors and experts of every single subject. Perfect explanation when you said it’s like big sister advice.

[@HubertKirchgaessner]

Love the comparisons, Vivian! Here’s a way to compare olive oils: refrigerate them! True EVOO should coagulate when it cools (it becomes kind of gelatinous). That doesn’t damage the oil - just take it out of the fridge at let it come to room temp again. When it reaches room temperature, it should re-liquify. Cheaper oils often are mixed with dirt cheap (and inflammatory) seed oils (rape seed or canola). The cheaper oils have a lower percentage of unsaturated fats, which stay liquid when cooled. So - oil that stays liquid when refrigerated is not true extra virgin olive oil (at least, it’s not pure).

[@dominiquehazzard5925]

nice to know will put my stuff to the test, is it the same for avocado oil please ?

[@karenfries170]

When I had radiation burns on my mastectomy site (was in a study of a lotion to stop burns ) that literally left my skin looking like bloody raw hamburger, to the point the rad tech refused one day to do my treatment, the Aquaphor my rad doc recommended kept the healing skin moist so the skin healed amazingly, considering the extensive burns. And it calmed the pain, too!

[@robbibrower7152]

God bless

[@loismarch8343]

It didn’t keep me from having severe burns but that’s what they told me to get.

[@kathyhuntley5214]

My sister also had radiation for ovarian cancer and this is what she was advised to use and it was amazing. I at all times have a big container. I use it for everything!!!!!! I will always use that brand. 💜💜💜

I’m sorry. God Bless you.❤️

[@sherrellelkins1976]

My friend find a herbalist to make you a plantain balm for the burn. Worked at the waffle house an associate got burned so bad. I went outside got plantain from the grass and crushed it with water burn sting gone in 20 minutes. I have used it on gunshot wounds as well for infection.

[@bonniepugh4818]

I'm a diabetic and have dry skin plus work in the service industry. I've tried the Vasoline and Gold Bond for diabetics, but the Aquaphor works best for me. I don't buy the big bottle though. Walmart sells it in travel size so I buy those and carry them with me everywhere

[@jeanniesaltwaterla8718]

Bounty is the "quicker picker upper." Over 90% of olive oils on the market are not olive oil, but canola or rapeseed. Best to stick with the more expensive brands that are cold pressed, and in dark glass or metal containers. And never cook with olive oil. It doesn't have the high heat point for cooking. Use Avocado oil instead.

I believe Costco’s Kirkland olive oil is actually one of the “real” ones. But like you said, most are fake or blended with cheaper oils.

Love the Dr. Teal's Pink Himalayan soak. It's scented with bergamot (smells like Earl Gray tea) and orange. I've heard the lavender smells amazing too.

[@rhondavanmeter5015]

My children's pediatrician swore by Aquafor for the healing aspect and I saw it in action when I adopted my baby by Guatemala. At 3 months old, she came home with huge bed sores. The Aquafor was amazing. Tattoo artists recommend it for the healing as well. Would love a good generic equivalent for the price though.

I found long handle dusters at DT and haven't bought a Swiffer since ! They work just as good as Swiffer and cost less , and you can clean EVERYTHING ! Love your videos 💓

[@LydiaKrow]

Yes, you can do the "slugging" with Vaseline. If you have dry skin, you can even use it as a moisturizer, but I wouldn't recommend it if you have acne prone skin or rosacea with pustules. Aquaphor is a different emulsion but has a petrolatum base like Vaseline - all the ingredients are very inexpensive, but you are paying for the emulsion and brand. One thing they both have in common is that the ingredients are VERY shelf stable and can be created cleanly in a lab, so very little reaction even from sensitive skin. Makes a terrific occlusive barrier for wounds, dry skin, abrasions, etc. Excellent for healing tattoos. Think of it as the adult version of diaper creme. Using it cosmetically (on the face) can be tricky for those who produce a lot of oil naturally, and can even cause problems for those with oil producing areas or acne unless it is used sparingly and washed off in the morning. Former skin therapist who used to shock her clients when I suggested they could use Vaseline or Aquaphor. :D Oh, and non-coated aspirin as a facial exfoliant. :D

[@lisarice4402]

@@lisarice4402 You are very welcome. :)

[@tinawhatley3904]

I've been using Vaseline on my face forever & probably won't ever use anything else lol also great for healing abrasions & such but I do love aquaphor for my terribly DRY hands ! And I may start slugging soon ... Lol Thanks for the information 👆 😀

[@CharTurner6928]

I had radiation treatment and when my skin started to burn off the Dr. told me to put Aquaphor on it. I think it's more of an ointment /medication it helps with healing and protecting skin, while Vaseline is just protection/barrier.

[@dragonmaster4429]

Hey, Vivian! Can't try the Dr. Teal's Epson salt. I'm highly allergic to Eucalyptus... even the dry stuff in Hobby Lobby! However, you know what mosquitos are like in Texas, especially those marsh mosquitos along the Gulf Coast. For that reason, I've been using Dr. Teal's lavender shampoo, lavender conditioner, lavender shower gel, and lavender body lotion. Why? You ask! Lavender is a natural insect and mosquito repellent. And...it actually works! Even yellow jackets don't like it! The products are thick and rich and the shampoo and conditioner is great for your hair! Especially long hair and getting tangles out after washing. Plus, I use lavender Gain laundry soap and lavender Downey softner! Another hint...you can rub a lavender dryer sheet on your arms and legs neck, wherever and it acts as a repellent. It all works. You should try it if you ever get a chance!! 👍👍😎🇨🇱

[@territimmerman140]

Thank you for your advise!! Mosquitoes see me and think that I'm an all you can eat buffet!! They're also sending out invitations to all of their friends and family too!

[@heatherdontcare]

Aquafor is what my husband uses for his tattoos. Out of everything he has ever used, it has worked best...it's what he's used for his entire sleeve, suggested by the artist. Epsom salts are great for more than just soaking....fertilizing certain plants, works as a laxative, great for magnesium intake to fight a migraine, etc. I've found that the knock off swiffer pads are better than the brand.

[@airbearrrx3]

neosporin also works well on tattoos!

[@lisanne11051]

Thanks for the information.I do plan on getting another tattoo. Is there a certain formula you recommend?

[@LeilaniLight11709]

Chunky salt won’t completely dissolve for a LONG time, like by tomorrow, so the less cloudy water, means less salt dissolved, which means less effective bath.

[@mandygray764]

Yes....I love the aquaphor for lips and it helped my healing with a huge hole when they removed cancer on my nose....dermatologists reccomend it. I don't hate vaseline though.

[@alicewallace358]

Aquaphor, I work for a Dermatologist and we have all of our patients use Aquaphor as part of their post surgical care. We never recommend Neosporin, Bacitracin, Triple Antibiotic Ointment, or Polysporin for wound care, because people tend to have reactions and think they have an infection. Also Aquaphor is not Vaseline, the only thing they have in common is that they are both ointments! There is also a spray form of Aquaphor which is great to apply to hart to reach areas. I like it best for my legs in the summer.

[@angiehughes-martinez2869]

I like the aquaphor but personally prefer the cerave. It’s uses are many, but one of my favorites it to put on my feet during the summer when wearing sandals.keeps feet dry and prevents cracks, while giving a nice look. & it’s multi-purpose functions make it handy for travel. I’d love a video on any products you’ve gone on to keep and use after the reviews.

I desperately needed a Vivian fix today, and here you are! Thanks for brightening my day!

[@kimberlysparks3824]

The very best use I’ve ever seen for Aquiphor lotion is when you get a sore nose from blowing it. You place a small amount under your nose and up on the nostrils (wherever it’s sore). It stops hurting immediately and begins to heal right away. Reapply for a day or two if needed. Trust me, you’ll thank me for this tip if you ever use it.

[@smittycat359]

I second, third, and fourth this tip. I do this too with the Aquaphor ointment and use a cotton swab to coat my nostrils right before bed. I never have to worry about my makeup clinging to dry cracked skin when I go back to work.

[@AR-xi9gn]

Hi Vivian, Thank you so much for doing comparison products. You are right when it comes to name brand vs. store brand in terms of the products being similar. As someone who use to work in a store many years ago. I found out that a lot of store brand products are actually by the name brand manufacturers/products. It's just a matter of labels. Now, not saying all but a great deal. This can help to save money.

[@txgirl3780]

the Yardley makeup remover towels...work wonderful. Savings tip: I tear them in half & put back half for next time, because they're so large, half is all I need. You in the vail 😂🤣😆

[@bcgrote]

While the expensive oil seems great for dipping and fancy tasting, I'd bet that cheaper option would be GREAT for cooking with!!

[@julz5550]

Love your vids Viv. I like the orange one. For all the correctors out there who need to nit pick. Yes Epsom salt is magnesium. Magnesium is easier to Google and find info on and it took me a while to do the research. Viv asked so I was just trying to point her in that direction. No need to hate or feel like you all need to come in and correct me. Thank you for the love from Viv and the others who just wanted to comment. ❤️ No need to be so critical peeps.

[@julz5550]

I realize the findings of Magnesium as a detox are "unfounded". However for me it has always made me feel better when I'm sick or not feeling well. So from personal experience I enjoy a nice bath with Epsom salts or magnesium soap to help me feel better.

[@stashstew3490]

The Aquaphor is also recommended by a ton of tattoo artists to use on new tattoos to help keep the skin moist and prevent from cracking/drying out, also helps from the color fading...

[@BethRazz]

No more good old Preparation H on the tats? Lol

[@bcgrote]

The olive oil in the can will last longer/stay fresher since it will not have light on it. Glass jars are usually darker glass for this reason. As long as the can is lined (BPA free pls!) it would be a better choice.

[@barbarasmith2693]

I've used the lavender Dr. Teals. I don't mind the old lady scent (hell, I AM an old lady!) and I find it relaxing. I'd rather have the Epsom salt that dissolves more quickly because who wants to get impatient like I am and end up sitting in a tub with chunks of undissolved salt sticking to your butt? 😉

[@hansoct41]

I used to be dead set on bounty. Then I tried the Bjs brand paper towel and was surprised I found it worked as well if not better for way cheaper. So I switched to save money. Also, I was a nurse....we use aquaphor as a skin barrier when caring for incontinent people who have to wear adult diapers. Protects the skin from the moisture from the diaper until they are changed. Just like it is used for babies in diapers as well. Loved Dr Teals Eucalyptus. My other favorite is pink Himalayan mineral soak...has bergamot and sweet orange essential oils....smells so good! More cloudy because it was completely dissolved so fast, btw! Thanks for all the fun content and laughs 😊

[@teawill509]

My surgeon/friend had me put Auquafor on a wound under my eye. It made a huge difference in healing, my scar is barely noticeable. I'm sold. Vaseline is good and cheap but it's only ingredient is petrolatum or petroleum. Auquafor has 41% petroleum with other emollients to help healing of wounds and keep skin moisturized while healing. it's good stuff but if a person has sensitivity to the other ingredients in Auquafor, or on an extremely tight budget, vaseline in a good alternative.

[@allyssumrose]

The dusters are fabulous!! I love them!! Vivian I sure missed seeing you testing items lately. Prayers & Wishes Lisa Hampton 😃

[@rawniemoon]

I have severe psoriasis, my local hospital swears by both Aquaphor and hydrofor and they both do work really really well for a multitude of issues. and every time I have an extended visit at the hospital I come home with big tubs of it one or both of them. I'm sure I have a lifetime supply now. love your videos

[@capricornqueen6916]

Hey Viv♥️I don't swear by it but aquaphor works really well. It's definitely not vaseline

[@reginarc2927]

I have bought the sesame seed oil in the tin, in the brand you are trying the extra virgin olive oil. The dark green in the oil is why you taste so much more flavor. I also purchase single source (one orchard) olive oil from Greece, Sicily, and Italy. I do purchase Amazon peanut oil for my deep fryer which when they are offering sales a good deal. I buy several types of olive oil, light for using in my spray bottle instead of cooking spray in a can. That can be an amazon or the like as it's much cheaper and you really do not want to taste it. I spray cake pans and when I want to skillet cook but not want to taste the olive oil the lighter color, cheaper oil is fine. The expense stuff I use for raw dressing salads and platters. And of course for dipping.

[@margueritepeaden3445]

When I was going through radiation treatment for breast cancer, we were told to use Aquafor. The ladies I met that were already using it said to put something between it and your clothes or it would ruin them. I decided to use a hemp salve instead and it did a great job and didn’t ruin my clothes. I would not like sitting on chunks of epsom salt if I took tub baths, which I don’t.

[@xencoop2669]

Hey Vivian I love your videos. I love Epsom Salts and just started using the scented ones since the pandemic. Since you also like bathing with it think about the salts when you're in the tub, I love how the Dr. Teals dissolves in the hot water and my butt isn't scratched up instead of soothed. As for the aquafor I want to try it but I love my Equate Brand Vaseline (petroleum jelly) it is more absorbent than the Vaseline brand. My daughter has Psoriasis and those spots come on her skin when she won't moisturize, this stuff leaves her skin glowing. It feels like the stuff they give when you're in the hospital for an extended visit and caring for your skin, lol. Anyway love your videos looking forward to the next one. Lol

[@koi.in.pond3149]

I love the Dr Teal's orange scented one oh my it's refreshing! The lavender one is also nice.

[@ccwall1]

Aquaphor is commonly used for cancer patients with burns from radiation. It’s also good for mild acne and cuts. It is more than Vaseline due to the medicated ointment in Aquaphor. Sometimes if my crotch is irritated from tights it also helps. It does a lot but as long as the ingredients are the same then go cheap.

[@rubyromaine3911]

A few months ago I bought Amazon’s Aquafor knockoff in the tub form on sale and I noticed it separated into a very watery Vaseline substance. It didn’t even moisturize my skin. After looking on some Amazon reviews of similar complaints I realized I didn’t receive a defective batch. I like Aquafor products but they are wayyyy too expensive so I’ll stick to Vaseline since it’s basically the same! ❤️

If Bounty does a throwback and brings back the Rosie ads they need to cast you in them. You sold me on Bounty and I've already been buying that brand exclusively for years (except during the pandemic shortage)!

[@janiceh4521]

I have used the swifter dusters and the knock offs from Amazon, dollar general and food lion. They basically all work the same. If your house is super dusty they are going to fill up before your done. The handles are usually pretty universal and fit most others as long as they have 2 pocket slides. They are great for quick touch up, reaching high places with out step stool or ladder but to me as an every time duster you just gotta break out the cloth with wet solution where glass cleaner, furniture polish or general cleaner (whatever applies) at some point. They are amazing when you haven’t done like weekly cleaning and in laws or someone want to stop by, run it over surfaces and it looks much cleaner, dust free!

[@pamelaquander8485]

[@bcgrote]

I can't use Aquaphor or anything with petroleum distillates. Chapstick makes my lips chap worse due to the petroleum. I'm glad there are better options for those of us who can't use it!

[@bettyboopopinando]

Aquaphor is great for people with very dry skin or people with eczema I know because one of my kids has really bad eczema so when he had flareups I would use the prescribed medicate cream or ointment on the affected areas and use the aquaphor all over to help him create like a barrier to keep moisture in the skin and works great, it takes a little time to be absorbed but it doesn’t leave you feeling greasy, doesn’t stain the clothes so using it on areas where there might be some chafing from rubbing together should work great, use it everyday after his showers and it has helped and doesn’t get flareups much anymore. Vaseline doesn’t give the same effect aquaphor is much, much better.

[@gamp.layerx]

Aquafor is basically Vaseline with lanolin. Lanolin is a fairly common allergen (for example, I and my daughter are both allergic to it), so make sure you patch test before using it on a large area, especially if you have sensitive skin or allergies, .

Vivian I think you'd love dollar trees Aquation brand epsom salt. I used to buy their little one pound lavender Epsom salt and then they stopped selling it for a long time. Well they came out with a 3 pound bag of Aquation Renew White Tea and Juniper and holy moly is it fragrant. I mean like spell up a whole floor kind of fragrant. I am hooked. That extra quarter they are charging is worth the 3x the product increase from their old Epsom salt brand they sold. You should try it. It's incredible.

[@debrabauer8826]

The dusters u can inter exchange the handles and u can get these at dollar tree. Now they are not as full as the brand name ones but in a pinch , like now with cost of everything going up, they work.

Vivian, my daughter and I use the Aquafor on our tattoos after we get them. It really does lock in the moisture, rather well. (I also use it on my lips. 👍🏻) I also use it on my hands and feet during winter.

[@Undercoverninja408]

I take a lot of baths and have used both of these but if you want to save more the Target knock off (same scent) does just as good for 3.99. They also have the knock off of the Himalayan salt and lavender. Personally I hate lavender scent so I’ve never tried but the Himalayan one same, does the same and has a very citrus scent. Hopes this helps you all save some coin.

Aquaphor contains moisturizing ingredients, which the occlusive ingredients lock into your skin. Vaseline is an occlusive exclusively and requires that you wear some sort of moisturizing ingredient under it.

[@susanallison183]

I’m a believer in Aquafor. I have a lot of skin sensitivities, so am careful about the products I use. Several years ago, I developed a severe problem with chapped lips. Through trial and error, I tried every product I could think of. Not only did they (chapstick, petroleum jelly, many, many), they made the problem worse. I discovered Aquafor, which made a big difference. Later, I came to believe that my lipstick had initiated the chapping problem. I changed lipsticks and the problem disappeared. Thanks for the tips on other ways to use this product.

[@emmamccoy8381]

I'm definitely an Aquaphor user. I was introduced to it over 15yrs ago when I worked for a dermatologist. I still use it today. If you have an area on your body that rubs or "folds" on it it works GREAT as a barrier! 🙂

I'm an avid user of aquaphor and I would say the main thing you use it for is rashes or wounds it's to help them heal quicker It's way too expensive to use it like Vaseline I specifically use it as a medicine

[@pdubblu3470]

The key to the best Olive oil is that it is single origin meaning it is not a blend of oils from different countries. If you look on the back of the bottle or can it will tell you the potential place the olives were harvested from and the oil was made. On the bottle or can if you see that they have combined Olive oils from 2 different countries for example like Spain and Greece it's not the best quality of Olive oil. The best thing to look for is that it comes from one country only. Also, with respect to color very good quality Olive oil, as you probably had on your trip to Greece has more of a green tint to it. I was taught this by my grandfather in Greece who was in the Olive oil business. He had olive tree orchards and extruded the oil from the olives, which was then sold to distributors.

[@justicierodelaliga]

Here´s an idea for breakfast that people should try and that´s incredible. It comes from Spain in several variants. 1. Toast bread (bakery one and not the sandwich one). 2. Pour Virgin Olive Oil on it. 3. Add slices of tomatoes and salted them a bit. Or: Do the same steps as before but add a slice of York ham. Or: Do the same thing as before but instead of slices of tomatoes pureé them and then spread it on the toasted bread. And either add the ham or not.

Vivian!! Olive oil, cold press, first press is for eating the way you did here, on salads, or in marinades. The cheap stuff is for cooking with; frying oil, etc..

I don't really think you can compare Vaseline to Aquaphor or Cerave Healing ointment. Vaseline is pure petroleum jelly, while the other 2 are not. I like Vaseline, I also like Aquaphor, both are great for chafing, chapping, etc. The difference between them is that Aquaphor and Cerave have humectant ingredients which helps draw moisture into the skin. Aquaphor has lanolin though so if you're allergic don't use it. Cerave doesn't have lanolin but the reason I prefer it is it has ceramides and hyaluronic acid. My dermatologist recommended Cerave to me for healing after a surgery but also said it will help my very dry chapped hands and lips in winter and because I chaf under the girls. I thought he was insane when I saw the price but I tried it. I've been using it almost 4 years now. I have 1 year left before it expires, it should last my family of 3 until then. So 1 big blue tub of Cerave has lasted 3 people 4 yrs so far. And it gets used every single night on my hands and lips and my mothers. I use it on my lips sometimes during the day too. I haven't had chapped lips a single time, not even a hint. I also haven't had just dry rough lips nor dry chapped hands. I use it under the girls too. I haven't had the first chaffing issue during summer since. As for the surgery it was suggested for it was hernia surgery. I was having trouble healing where the drainage tubes were. I had already used a Rx Ointment my Dr gave me. But it didn't help. After just 3 or 4 days of using Cerave the spots started to heal, within about 2 weeks they were completely healed. I now use it on everything, cuts scrapes, burns...you name it.

Just learned more neg stuff about Vaseline..when you put it on your skin, you're rubbing carcinogens into your flesh

[@izzyjones7108]

And cerevé is amazing stuff

[@kdscraftcorner]

@@izzyjones7108 Yes it is. I recently started trying other products too. The oil free light face moisturizer is one of the first ones I've ever found that doesn't make my face breakout or feel more oily (the other is Simple Kind To Skin products their gel moisturizers are the best). I like that they have products for specifically for every skin type and issue. But they do need more for oily skin types. I do like the oil control face wash. I've been debating recently about trying the dark circle and puffiness under eye repair cream. I still rank my Simple products #1 for facial products, bur Cerave is a very close second.

Useful information about the aquaphor having lanolin in it. I think I had tried some lotion with a lanolin before and had an allergic reaction to it, itching and burning. I may avoid buying the aquaphor, may buy the CeraVe instead. Thanks!

[@danesaddiction]

Aquaphor is amazing! I have tried the dups and they swem to melt and are slightly oily. Aquqphor all the way!! PS you crack me up 🤣😊💜

[@deanna5443]

Danged if you do and Danged if you don't ...Vaseline is a petroleum product and Aquaphor Healing Ointment ingredients is mineral oil, which is extracted from petroleum. ceresin, a mineral wax that comes from shale rocks or coal. lanolin alcohol, which comes from animal skin. panthenol, which comes from vitamin B5.

I buy members mark paper towels and toilet it's equal to Bounty and Charmin. The swifter duster kind of leaves a film on things. I think that a dusting polish on them.

I buy the best Olive Oil, straight from Greece. Yellow is not good. That's why they made the glass green. Olive colored is good

[@shannonweir4312]

You are correct, most olive oils on the shelf are not olive oil, I found that out by watching youtube FlavCity( Bobby Parrish) he and his wife n child only eat and use clean clean food n products, I have autoimmune disease and he has taught me alot, check him out🌻
