Read the threads ↓Pros
- Thick, occlusive texture locks in moisture, especially during tretinoin use and flare-ups
- Very minimal ingredient list, fragrance-free, dye-free, and designed for sensitive/eczema-prone skin
- Often recommended by dermatologists and frequently used in simplified, barrier-repair routines
Cons
- The heavy, petrolatum-based formula frequently causes clogged pores, whiteheads, and cystic acne for many users, especially those with combo or acne-prone skin
- Can pill and feel greasy under makeup or sunscreen if not fully absorbed or layered properly
- Not the best choice for those with sensitive skin who react to fatty alcohols or find it exacerbates redness or itching
