What the community says
An occlusive ointment with ceramides that r/SkincareAddiction uses heavily for sealing in moisture on dry, eczema-prone, or tretinoin-irritated skin, though its thick texture and occlusive nature can cause breakouts or flares for some.
What people love
- Ceramide-rich occlusive that locks in moisture better than plain petroleum jelly
- Works well for eczema maintenance and intense dryness, often as a slugging step
- Fragrance-free with a non-lanolin mineral oil base preferred by those sensitive to lanolin/Aquaphor
Watch out for
- Heavy, greasy texture can clog pores or worsen acne-prone skin
- Some users report itching, burning, or eczema flare-ups after use
- Can feel sticky/uncomfortable and interfere with makeup if layered improperly
