Palmer's

I bought this as I dislike the strong fragrance of the OG. This has the a faint smell of the OG but quickly dissipates. The consistency is slightly less thicker than the OG. It makes my skin super smooth and last through hand washings. I haven’t used it long enough to test the claims about removing marks/scars or toning my body. Will update later.

I had a horrendous allergic reaction to this lip balm. I thought it was a nickel allergy due to a new water bottle but only realised a few months later (now) as I just started using it again. The photo is of the reaction I had, my lips stayed like this for over a month. They were very swollen. I could barely open my mouth due to cuts and the corners so eating was difficult and painful. It was an awful time and gives me anxiety just thinking about it. Now I know other people have suffered similarly I finally know what was causing it. There are many toxic and harmful ingredients in this lip balm and I would not recommend using it.

My skin: combination, acne prone, sensitive eye area. Makeup products I use: waterproof mascara and eyeliner, sunscreen, liquid foundation and bronzer/blush I am so glad I gave this a try! I will continue to buy. Here is how I use as a makeup remover: I double cleanse. First step is Palmers oil cleanser to a DRY fully made up face, dispense 1 pump into DRY hands. Rub hands together to heat up. Gently rub on face and eye area. Rinse with warm water and then I follow with normal cleanser (I use CeraVe Foaming Cleanser). For me, this gets all of my makeup and mascara off completely! It feels amazing on my skin, not thick at all. The smell is faint rose and while I try to steer away from fragrance or natural oils, this doesnt bother me or irritate my skin or eye area one bit. I used to use Simple Cleansing Oil and was so upset when they stopped producing it. I have tried a ton of different cleansing oils but this one is my new favorite and the price point rocks!
