This product was originally recommended to me by my independent tattoo artist's significant other, as a superior alternative to overpriced tattoo creams or ointments peddled in order to obtain lucrative commissions by staff at popular parlors.
As both she and the artist were highly experienced with this product, plus taking into consideration my preference for better value products and/or significant savings for equivalent products, I didn't hesitate purchasing this at my local drug store.
It kept my new tattoos moisturized, protected & looking amazing all summer long. Over time I also found other uses for it, such as for general first aid or skin chaffing. I find it's very much like popular brand name antibiotic ointments except you get much more for your money plus you can use this for way more than just cuts & scrapes.
I've also started using this on some minor scars I have, some on my face & neck, some on my limbs & torso with some improvement in the appearance. It's not a scar remover so I didn't expect miracles but I've still been impressed with it's overall effectiveness.

During the dry & harsh conditions of typical Canadian Winters, skin can easily dry out, making hands prone to cuts & abrasions, plus limbs itchy & uncomfortable.
Never knowing what to buy for a skin moisturizer, I was surprised to come across this product one day at my local drug store, for just over $5, from a trusted brand and with a subtle, yet pleasant, "clean" smell, far from overpowering.
For the value & low cost, making the purchase was an easy decision. I tried it right away, on my face, hands & arms, finding that it absorbed quickly & completely, without a greasy feeling or leftover residue. I thought I smelled great while applying, followed by instant relief of the itchy dryness & discomfort I originally sought to remedy. Now I use it one or twice a week during Winter months, plus occasionally when needed year-round.
Although this was my first time purchasing a skin moisturizer for myself, not knowing what exactly I needed, this has now become my "go-to" product, always stocked in my bathroom or overnight bag, it works great on all parts of the body, doesn't clog up my pores or irritate the skin on my face and I can continue or start any task or activity immediately after applying it.
