Opticlude Comfort Eye Patch, Nude, Breathable

I love Sinufix. So far it is the best vitamin that has helped my sinuses get better.

It helps minimize the impact of virus.

This product had been back ordered for a very long time on Desert Essences site so very happy to finally see it back in stock online ! Best product and the smell is nostalgic for me :)

I’ve been using Candex for many years and still find it helpful!

Women's Multi
I get lost with supplements. They tool time to help me find what I needed. Very high quality products. Will be back!

when no one else stocked this - you came thru for me - thx

Great product. Delivered promptly and packaged well.

Marshmallow Root is too beneficial to give up! Even my son, who is not into herbal supplements, has to have it! While it is not a drug, it takes awhile to do the maximum benefits! In short, I’ll never be without it!

Great supp,event for knee pain.

Works very well

I have been using Village for a few months now and love their selection as well as accumulating points. Great company!
