Overpriced Vaseline. Not bad but nothing like others are claiming it is.

I bought this because some people here rave about how great it is. It did moisturize my skin pretty well, yes. But it also caused deep cystic acne. And I used this two separate times to see if it...

I love this stuff as a bland moisturizer for my dehydrated skin in the wintertime. I use it on damp skin over my Hyaluronic acid serum/water and it's a great combo. For those busting the tube...

Broke me out a bit, due to the paraffin. I can use Vaseline and my new favorite Boiron Calendula ointment (love it on top of moisturizer!) without problems. I can easily use up the rest of this on...

To offer a word of caution: The jar packaging is far superior to the 2.8 oz tube option. The tube is a hot mess. The tube is not durable enough for the ointment-like texture. After a few...

This is a very simple barrier type moisturizer. I used it in the evening on a damp face right out of the shower by warming a small amount in my palms and then gently applying it to my face. I would...

Dermatologist's assistant gave me a sample to try - skin was hypersensitive and painful. Nope. It's just like soft vaseline, which on my skin does nothing. This actually irritates me, along with...

I have oily skin and live in a very humid, warm climate. My skin is prone to clogs and the rare, occasional breakout. For these reasons, the word "moisturizer" is not part of my vocabulary, and...

After all the rave reviews of this product on the skincare board, I had to try it for my sensitive, clog-prone, combination skin. But alas, it is not the answer to my finicky skin. I hate the way...

Giving this a neutral review because while this doesn't work for my skin, my mother loves it. EltaMD Intense is like a much more cosmetically elegant Vaseline. It's not as greasy, heavy, or sticky...

I will never ever be without this moisturizer. I've tried hundreds over the years. Literally hundreds. All of them clogged, broke me out or flared my SD. This is hands down the best thing I've...

This is a fantastic "moisturizer" without any irritants/acids/etc. This really needs to be used on damp skin, to lock in the moisture. I purchased this on Amazon for about $10 (cheapest I've seen...

I wish I could use this on my face. I really do. When I first got it, I put it on my entire face just to see what it felt like. It felt heavenly. Then I patch tested for a couple weeks and found it...
