Pros

  • Ceramide-rich formula adds barrier support beyond plain petrolatum
  • Favored occlusive for slugging and protecting dry, irritated patches
  • Tube packaging reduces contamination risk compared to tubs

Cons

  • Texture is super thick and greasy — not ideal for daytime or oily skin
  • Can trap allergens or exacerbate acne/milia for sensitive or acne-prone users
  • Some report worsening eczema or dryness, likely due to formulation or overuse
