Nice balm, stick is ok

I like the idea of the no-hands application but it's a bit impractical to get even coverage. Even so, I like how the product feels and glides on. I can see scenarios where some coverage is better than none and hands are dirty, but I don't use this as much as I thought I would.

Review

I liked this product because it was nice to spot treat dry areas while traveling. I didn’t like that the product would not always apply evenly and would come off in chucks on my face.

Flaky

I am 59 and once the humidity is gone and winter strolls in my skin turns literally flaky from dryness. I have tried a few products and this truly works 😉

Nope

Bad packaging. The stick disintegrates as soon as it’s worn down a little so it’s impossible to get to the last of the product without scooping it out. Also, not nearly as effective or easily absorbed as the Ultra Facial Cream. This was a miss for me.

Staple in my routine

Repaired my skin barrier from excessive chemical use. I had dry, flaky skin and this product built my barrier back almost overnight! Also really great under makeup.
