Review: “Babyganics SPF 50 Baby Mineral Sunscreen Lotion is my all-time favorite sunscreen. It has zinc which was recommended to me by my dermatologist after I had a tiny melanoma spot. She told me to always get mineral sunscreen with a stated percentage of zinc. This lotion rubs in very nicely and does not make you look really white like some. A very good product!”–Amazon Customer
5. Advil Dual Action Coated Caplets With Acetaminophen (FSA/HSA Eligible)
Advil Dual Action Coated Caplets with Acetaminophen are the first and only pain relief medication that combines the top two selling pain fighting ingredients for powerful results. Formulated with 250 mg ibuprofen that targets pain at the source and 500 mg acetaminophen that blocks pain signals in each dose, these coated pain relief pills provide relief from a wide variety of aches and pains.
Review: “Used to carry Tylenol or off-brand acetaminophen and Ibuprofen in our car for those annoying travel headaches. This has now replaced those and we end up taking less. I’m guessing this will eventually replace our home supply too. Just nice having only one bottle and not having to worry about remembering which one was taken last for those really annoying pains.”
