Q: Was the formula changed? The tube I received was chunky, blue, and separated. It wouldn’t mix. I returned and was sent a new tube- this tube was also the same. I won’t be purchasing again. A waste of money for what used to be an amazing product.

Q: When opened for the first time, is it normal for there to be liquid separated from the cream? The one I received had about a teaspoon of liquid coming out of the tube before the actual cream.

    Sensitive Skin Girlie - 2 days ago, Verified purchaser
    What’s up with the product separation, and the amount of liquid coming out? I can’t tell if it is on purpose or if I got a bad batch, but reading from others I see similar experiences. What the heck?

    this is the best product you can buy for your sensitive skin but the new formula is horrible. it used to be more like the consistency of lotion mixed with zinc paste. now a bunch of liquid comes out then finally the paste comes and it's completely different consistency. I am so sad, the old formula was fantastic. I hope this gets corrected soon because I think a lot of long term users will stop using it.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This reminds me of Cicaplast but if I had to choose between the two, I think I prefer this. It’s well hydrating, doesn’t clog my acne prone skin but I don’t find I need to every night. I wear little to no makeup and I owe it to my skincare routine.

    I got this in a cancer gift box, and needed to have something since my skin was turning to leather… they told me that what they sent me was a recommendation….i opened it and it exploded clear liquid all over me, my blanket, my clothes…It was nothing but clear water… I tried mixing it for about an hour, smashing the tube and with no luck did it ever turn to a cream… highly disappointed.

It is lightweight which is perfect for my face but also hydrating enough that it replenishes my skin’s moisture barrier. I’ve been using it for about a month with no issues 💯

    My esthetician girlfriend recommended this to me when i burnt my face with tea tree (stupid i know, i used the wrong product-) and hurt my skin barrier.. one use. one use and it’s like my skin was brand new over night. i have slightly oily skin and sleep in this, it has oil in it but doesn’t make my skin feel clogged, immediately minimizes pores and honestly blew my mind. A little bit goes a long way.

I don’t use it every night, but only when my skin is extra dry but it doesn’t clog my pores and doesn’t break my skin out. Packing is fine and there is no smell.

    Genuinely creates a barrier protecting your skin.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As an avid gardener, spring means callouses, tons of handwashing, and unintended sun exposure. So when I received this restorative protective cream, I knew exactly how I'd be using it. It can be used on your face or body, I opted to use it on my hands, which needed it the most. It's very thick and creamy, but this is why it's perfect for protecting your skin from the downsides of gardening without gloves. (I'll start wearing gloves when I find a good pair that fit short stubby fingers, lol.) This cream is designed to restore your skin barrier, but I found it's also great for creating a barrier from ittitants common in gardening. I often end up with irritations from coming in contact with things I'm allergic to and this actually helped keep that at a minimum. Plus, it makes my hands incredibly soft. The only downside is it can feel a little greasy when you first apply it, but it soon absorbs into your skin.

I have sensitive, redness prone skin, and this is so helpful in many different ways. It has a bit of a green tint that soothes and neutralizes redness and sensitivity. It protects and moisturizes and it’s just really good!
