Review: Cool Products and Stuff Blog for Canadian Moms

Go2Girlz Tested and Approved

The urbanmoms.ca Go2Girlz team of product reviewers has been busy lately – their most recent assignment was testing Five Alive® juice boxes. Each of the 100 testers received a sampling of Five Alive® juice boxes in both Citrus and Tropical Citrus flavours to try out with their families.  Their response? Five Alive® is a big hit all around!

Five Alive® real fruit beverage is an excellent source of Vitamin C and has no artificial colours and flavours added. The Citrus flavour has over 40% real juice and is a delicious blend of orange, lemon, lime, tangerine and grapefruit.  Five Alive® Tropical Citrus also contains over 40% real juice and is the combination of tangerine, pineapple, lemon and apple – bringing an exotic, tropical twist to the citrus favourite.  As all-natural juice blends, Five Alive® can be part of a healthy diet.

As a group, our testers and their families were most impressed with the taste of both Five Alive® products they sampled.  Almost everyone agreed they would not hesitate to recommend Five Alive® to other moms – in fact many of them already had. In fact, the biggest criticism they had was that the juice boxes were not big enough for their teenagers – many of whom would drink two at once!

But what did our panel of product testers have to say about Five Alive®? Here’s some of their feedback:

Real fruit taste. Tastes fruity. With the tropical flavor, it is a very tasty real fruit beverage.  –Violet, mom of 2

IMPRŪV Cream: Go2Girlz Tested and Approved

If you’ve ever suffered from acute dry skin or a skin condition such as eczema or psoriasis you know the importance of maintaining your skin’s natural moisture. We asked a group of our Go2Girlz who suffer (or have a family member who does) from a skin condition to try new IMPRŪV Cream, a highly effective new generation moisturizer developed by dermatology researchers in Europe and now sold here in Canada by a top dermatology company, Stiefel Canada. The advanced scientific formulation of IMPRŪV Cream not only moisturizes and soothes dry, sensitive skin, it also restores, regenerates and repairs skin's natural moisturizing function.

And what did our Go2Girlz have to say after testing IMPRŪV Cream in their homes? The verdict is clear: IMPRŪV works!

IMPRŪV Cream contains naturally derived plant-based lipids that absorb into the deepest layers of the skin to help restore the skin's protective barrier. Specially formulated for all types of dry, sensitive skin, IMPRŪV Cream is non-irritating, hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic, and contains no perfumes, dyes or preservatives unlike mainstream products.

Most of all the Go2Girlz and their families loved how well the cream worked, in many cases after only one application! Being moms, some of the Go2Girlz also loved the cream’s texture and the fact that it is unscented and safe to use on their baby’s skin. The majority of the testers actually reported that the cream absorbed very well into the skin.

Here’s some of what our Go2Girlz testers had to say about IMPRŪV Cream:

I like that my extremely sensitive skin did not react to the product. I love that my skin felt super soft even a day after. I also noticed that my skin appeared to be rejuvenated. – Christina, mom of 2

This should be considered a mandatory addition to any mother's (or person with sensitive skin's) arsenal. – Laura, mom of 1

My initial perception was to not believe the product could do what it said. Boy was I wrong! – Bernadette, mom of 1

At first I thought, oh well another cream to try that will not make any difference. But with just one try that changed. – Dianne, mom of 4

It's non-greasy and absorbs quickly, so I can get right back to the busy business of mothering as soon as I've applied it. Great to use after handwashing, which as moms we do so often! – Laura, mom of 3

Low scent, great absorption into the skin. It left my daughter and husband deeply moisturized but not greasy feeling. Also the lack of colouring means no stains on Pj's or other clothing. We'll keep using it. – Karen, mom of 2

How wonderfully smooth my hands were after first applying it! – Louise, mom of 2

Beautiful Packaging! I loved that it was hypoallergenic.  It was great because there was no scent, which is great for my allergic family. – Marsha, mom of 1

The main feature and benefit for me is that it doesn’t just add artificial moisture to my skin; it actually helps my skin moisturize itself better. – Laura, mom of 3
