I bought a sample size of this cream at Target for I believe 2.99. This is more like an ointment than a cream. It feels a bit heavy on the skin, so I'll only use this when I get really dry. I don't...

Too greasy and shiny for me to appreciate. I like it best as a lip balm, but would not repurchase only for this purpose. Will continue to use up on feet and hands, then move on to other products.
