Thanks to the reviews here, I bought some of this. It is really heavy, like 'preparation h' texture (sorry, couldnt think of another example), but feels great on my skin. I, too, think that there...

This is the only product that healed my chapped, flaked skin on my face. When used too often my skin did become blemished, yet when I used a small amount each night I was able to stop my skin from...

This just makes my face break out so I don't use it on my face. Is really great on hands though.

I'm a believer. Picked up a tube on sale at Whole Foods based exclusively on the raves here, and my dry hands and feet are slurping this food right up. I'm in the camp of people who LOVE the scent...

Love this stuff!!! And I really don't mind the smell. It's very spa like. But man, my skin looks 10 years younger, and it's supple again. This is sooo nice under my normal foundation. I think...
