The bold story of Katherine Johnson, an African-American mathematician who worked for NASA during the space race and was depicted in the film Hidden Figures.

You've likely heard of the historic Apollo 13 moon landing. But do you know about the mathematical genius who made sure that Apollo 13 returned safely home?

As a child, Katherine Johnson loved to count. She counted the steps on the road, the number of dishes and spoons she washed in the kitchen sink, everything Boundless, curious, and excited by calculations, young Katherine longed to know as much as she could about math, about the universe.

From Katherine's early beginnings as a gifted student to her heroic accomplishments as a prominent mathematician at NASA, Counting on Katherine is the story of a groundbreaking American woman who not only calculated the course of moon landings but, in turn, saved lives and made enormous contributions to history.

Smells awful
Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This smells awful. Like dead roses. I find it does make skin smoother however it does leave a sticky residue that lasts.

Dove retinol

This retinol is super good. It’s moisturizing and leaves my skin glowing all day. The price for it isn’t bad either.

Best Lotion Ever
This is honestly one of the best lotions I’ve used. The Dove Body Cream Serum leaves my skin feeling super soft, smooth, and hydrated all day without feeling greasy. It really helped improve my rough, dry skin after just a few uses, and the scent is light and clean. Definitely a new favorite!

Yes! Cannot go wrong after hot shower.
They can pump out all the fancy moisturizers and lotions they want - I always come back to the originals. Dove has a brand reputation which never fails. This cream serum is awesome for all over my body after a hot shower (bc it kinda dries out my skin). Face and body, it works. Apply after shower before bed and you have a whole skincare routine. Cannot beat the price for less than $10! This is one of three I bought in this line and each is as good as the next.

“Dove Pro-Ceramide Body Cream Serum – Deep Hydration and Skin Repair”
Title: “Dove Pro-Ceramide Body Cream Serum – Deep Hydration and Skin Repair” Review: This Dove body cream feels rich and very moisturizing without being too heavy. It absorbs well into the skin and leaves it soft, smooth, and hydrated for a long time. The pro-ceramide formula helps improve dryness and supports the skin barrier with regular use. It also has a pleasant, light scent that isn’t overpowering. Overall, a great daily body cream for dry or sensitive skin. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
