They range from lightweight, fast-absorbing, non-greasy creams to thicker balm- or ointment-like formulations. Some are described as nongreasy and fast-absorbing, while others feel thicker or protective and stay on the skin for longer.
Instructions commonly say to apply as often as needed or daily. Some products specify nighttime or overnight use for extra relief and advise reapplying on very dry or cracked areas.
