Pros

  • Minimalist formula with almost no irritants or fragrance, making it a go-to for highly sensitive skin
  • Very occlusive and moisturizing — excellent for eczema, severely dry, or compromised skin barriers
  • Large tub option offers great value and longevity, favored for effective barrier repair

Cons

  • Thickness and occlusiveness can clog pores and exacerbate acne, especially on combination and oily skin types
  • Some users report it causing whiteheads, cystic acne, or closed comedones, often linked to lanolin or fatty alcohol sensitivity
  • Feels greasy and heavy, making it unsuitable for daytime use or under makeup and can pill if layered improperly
