Listen, I owe this product my first born. I think it single-handedly saved my skin over the course of a few days, and my skin was BAD after having a baby.

I’ve used this moisturizer for years and I still love it. It doesn’t smell and it really absorbs into my skin, keeping it moisturized even after using benzoyl peroxide everyday.

I’ve been mixing this in with the Vanicream and my skin is so soft and supple. It’s not sticky and doesn’t leave a weird film over my skin. I’ve gone through a few bottles of this.

Do I even need to rave about this one? Dry patch? Aquaphor. Slugging? Aquaphor. Messed with your skin and now it’s angry? Aquaphor.

I know this lotion is full of fragrance but I would bathe in this if I cold. Perfect thick lotion but it actually absorbs into your skin.

I’ve tried so many pimple patches and these are hands down the best I’ve used. I love the larger rectangles that can be cut to fit whatever spot needs to be loved a little extra.
