 Yet another reason it's called wonderbalm, December 15, 2008
I have this product, and it's great. I use it before bed on my lips. However, until recently, I didn't know why they called it wonderbalm. I received an email from someone I know that included a forward with some blog ratings and rave reviews. Included in the reviews were some of the other uses people discovered with this product. Included in the email was information about how ceramides, a key ingredient in wonderbalm, have something to do with some skin conditions such as eczema. I paid little attention to that at the time.
Later, while preparing for bed, I decided I would take one of the other tips and try this product on my elbow. I have one elbow that no matter what I put on it usually remains, dare I say it? crusty. I have tried the pedegg, body butter, bagbalm...nothing works. Some days my elbow is fine and many days it's just so dry and sometimes does not look clean to me, even though I clean it regularly (and especially trying to make up for it's weird state). I bet it only took two applications of wonderbalm and my elbow is now as smooth as any part of my moisturized body!
I think it took another couple of days for it to dawn on me: I have psoriasis on that elbow! The person who emailed me the information would not have known, as no one does. The only other place I have psoriasis is on my crown. I would never have known I had crown psoriasis except that I am a cosmetologist, and one day while cutting my father's hair, I realized he has psoriasis on his crown in the very same spot! Of course, this is a visual diagnosis, and I am not a doctor. I have yet to try wonderbalm on my crown, but you can be sure that I will. I have already mailed out wonderbalm as gift items to my father and step mom.

Review from cosmetologist licensed in two states, December 15, 2008
This is a great quick way to remove makeup when you've been on the go for long hours and find yourself too tired to complete your skin care routine. This product is not meant to become that routine. Although I am not a doctor, I am a licensed cosmetologist, which covers advanced chemical and esthetic training. We were taught that witch hazel is safe for the eye area. However, generally witch hazel has alcohol in it as well. Unfortunately there are sometimes reactions with any product, and one should always discontinue use immediately and consult a doctor. Some signs you may be having a reaction are a tingling sensation, redness, swelling, or burning. The skin on your actual eye lid is also very thin and products can easily penetrate through that thin lining into your eye. Be sure to read the directions, as many products tell you to avoid that eye area.
Finally, 4 in 1 is designed to be safe for complete makeup removal including the eye area. Boots cosmetics have some of the best chemists and doctors in the world. They have been in business for over 150 years. They invented Ibuprofen, for example. This is one product line that I feel quite confident in the expertise of their research and development as well as their cosmetics.
