Original Healing Jelly
Simple, pure occlusive with no irritating ingredients — ideal for protecting compromised skin barriers
What the community says
Pros
- Simple, pure occlusive with no irritating ingredients — ideal for protecting compromised skin barriers
- Frequently used for balm-like slugging to lock in hydration overnight and reduce flaking from tretinoin
- Acts as a protective barrier around delicate areas (eyes, nose, lips) to reduce irritation and tret migration
Cons
- Too heavy and comedogenic for acne-prone or oily skin; often causes breakouts and milia
- Not a moisturizer so it won't actually hydrate — you need to layer it over proper moisturizers or humectants
- Can worsen rosacea or cause irritation by trapping heat, and is contraindicated directly over tretinoin due to increased penetration
