Personally I don't really like it, it is really oily. It does feel heavy on the face, but not in a relaxing way. Maybe good for other body parts but can just be annoying on the face.
I hated this product. It felt like I smeared some sand mixed with petroleum jelly on my face; I had to wash it off immediately. I have some sensory issues and I couldn’t handle this. I’ll use Vaseline every once in awhile, and that’s not the easiest for me, but it’s much easier than using this product. It’s currently sitting in a drawer because I can’t bring myself to throw it out, but I’ll never Show more
