Seems like there is nothing this can't do. It is super gentle, non irritating, ultra moisturizing, yet not greasy or oily. It absorbs quickly, has no scent, and can be used anywhere on body. Thicker than a lotion, but not as heavy as a cream. It is rich and glides across the skin. A little goes a long way.

Like anything, this likely awesome for many but perhaps not for everyone. So I will tell you about my skin: Mid 40s, leans dry, semi sensitive, non acne, clear skin that has rosacea. I get pink skin with redder spotting from visible veins (telangiectasias). While it isn't going to fix the red, it can and does help with strengthening the skin barrier (this is where a lot of sensitivities and other reactive skin stems from- weakened/damaged skin barrier from mistreatment- sun, exfoliation, oil stripping, etc). I have learned to use gentle products, using products that help add moisture and/or retain moisture. As I learned about skin friendly skin products I would often see reference to La Roche-Posay. I began with using one of the sunscreens, then a face wash, then added in this soothing repairing balm as well as their moisture mask. I have been very pleased with everything I have used by this company so far. Going to try some other goodies soon!

I love using it as a face moisturizer-- dont need much!! Just add a little to palm of hand, distribute between both hands and pat gently all over face or trouble spots. Or dab on and pat all in. Don't rub, don't use a lot (though packaging does say that it can be used in a generous layer. I prefer light layer for my face). As with any skin care, try a patch test and don't add in a lot of new stuff at once. Go slow! See how something works for you before adding more items or moving on.

I HAVE used it on my lips. It is fantastic for super dry cold days, whether inside or out. I spend a lot of time outside in the winter, so I like having some additional moisture treatment at the ready. It isn't fancy, it isn't all glossy and pretty.. it is just simply comfort and effectiveness. I love keeping a tube in my pocket or purse for this reason. Also will use it on my hands and massage it into nail area. Given the small sized container, I usually just keep it for face, hands, and elbows.

Paraben free, fragrance free.
