I finally put it together than my sporadic usage of this product was directly related to my sporadic chemical burns.

This works as a great moisturizing eye cream and also a face cream. The trick to using it as a face cream is to warm it up in your hands and then put a very thin layer on your face.

Way too thick and greasy for me. I can't stand having anything on that doesn't let my skin "breathe" and this product doesn't do the trick.
