The bestselling author of Pledged returns with a groundbreaking look at the pressure to achieve faced by America's teens In Pledged, Alexandra Robbins followed four college girls to produce a riveting narrative that read like fiction. Now, in The Overachievers, Robbins uses the same captivating style to explore how our high-stakes educational culture has spiraled out of control. During the year of her ten-year reunion, Robbins goes back to her high school, where she follows heart-tuggingly likeable students including "AP" Frank, who grapples with horrifying parental pressure to succeed; Audrey, whose panicked perfectionism overshadows her life; Sam, who worries his years of overachieving will be wasted if he doesn't attend a name-brand college; Taylor, whose ambition threatens her popular girl status; and The Stealth Overachiever, a mystery junior who flies under the radar. Robbins tackles teen issues such as intense stress, the student and teacher cheating epidemic, sports rage, parental guilt, the black market for study drugs, and a college admissions process so cutthroat that students are driven to suicide and depression because of a B. With a compelling mix of fast-paced narrative and fascinating investigative journalism, The Overachievers aims both to calm the admissions frenzy and to expose its escalating dangers.Binding Type: Hardcover

Just ok
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
You get what you pay for. It’s reasonably priced but I find it leaves my skin feeling dry. I need a product for aging, dry skin.

Finally a Cleanser That Works for My Daughter's Puberty Skin
Scent: Unscented, Size: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: Unscented, Size: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I ordered this foaming gel for my 11-year-old daughter on the recommendation of our dermatologist. She's at that age where her skin is changing, and we've been struggling with excess oil, shine, and the breakouts that come with it.
Honestly, this is the best face wash we've tried so far. The texture is light and pleasant, it foams up nicely without being too thick or heavy. The scent is very mild and not overpowering, which is great for sensitive skin. After just a few uses, the oily shine on her skin started to fade, and the sebum production noticeably decreased. That means fewer breakouts and less irritation overall. It doesn't dry out her young skin at all. It just gently removes dirt, oil, and impurities without stripping it. No tightness, no redness.
We're really happy with how it's working so far. Will continue using it and update if anything changes, but for now highly recommend for anyone dealing with puberty or oily, sensitive skin.

Rosacea care
Scent: Unscented, Size: 500ml / 16.7 Fl Oz
I have been using this cleanser for a year. It's a simple unscented cleanser that is part of my rosacea care. No irritation or tightness. When it's on sale I grab a couple. I found that applying it to dry skin first, then adding water, is much more effective than applying it on wet skin. The consistency is a little thin so it's challenging to make it lather. A great all around cleanser for any type of skin.

Gentle, soothing, and perfect for sensitive skin
Scent: Unscented, Size: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using the Bioderma Sensibio Foaming Gel for sensitive skin for a few weeks, and it has quickly become one of my favourite cleansers. Despite having combination skin that’s prone to redness and sensitivity, this gel never dries me out or causes irritation.
The texture is a clear gel that transforms into a light, airy foam — so gentle and refreshing. It rinses off completely without leaving any tightness or residue .
What I love most about it:
• foams lightly yet cleans thoroughly — removes dirt, oil and even light makeup without stripping the skin ;
• unscented, soap-free, non-comedogenic, and pH‑balanced, so it respects my skin’s natural barrier ;
• leaves skin feeling hydrated, soft and calm, not tight or dry .
In my routine, I use this gel morning and evening. It’s perfect for days when my skin is more reactive — calming without being stripping. Even after wearing light sunscreen or daily foundation, my face feels fresh and balanced post-wash.
✅ Gentle enough for daily use
✅ Keeps skin barrier intact
✅ Effective at cleansing without irritation
This cleanser is now a permanent part of my skincare lineup. I definitely plan to repurchase — ideal for anyone seeking a reliable, ultra‑gentle everyday cleanser.
