Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Panthenol is a common ingredient that helps hydrate and soothe the skin. It is found naturally in our skin and hair.
There are two forms of panthenol: D and L.
D-panthenol is also known as dexpanthenol. Most cosmetics use dexpanthenol or a mixture of D and L-panthenol.
Panthenol is famous due to its ability to go deeper into the skin's layers. Using this ingredient has numerous pros (and no cons):
Like hyaluronic acid, panthenol is a humectant. Humectants are able to bind and hold large amounts of water to keep skin hydrated.
This ingredient works well for wound healing. It works by increasing tissue in the wound and helps close open wounds.
Once oxidized, panthenol converts to pantothenic acid. Panthothenic acid is found in all living cells.
This ingredient is also referred to as pro-vitamin B5.

Absolutely triggers my skin. First I thought it was great, used it on my lips and around my eyes. After a few days, ittitated my skin super bad. I checked the ingredient list before, and on some websites who sell this Lanolin Alcohol is not listed which I find super weird- it’s very irritating
I use it primarily on my lips, as a regular lip balm and as a lip treatment, it’s great for chapped lips, and overnight. It soothes and heals my lips quickly and it’s also hydrating and moisturising.
I see people compare this with Vaseline which I don’t really agree with. I don’t like Vaseline on my lips at all, it doesn’t hydrate or moisturise and it doesn’t soothe or heal or do anything Show more

This’s the worst thing I’ve ever put on my skin, my doctor told me to put it because it’s a thick moisturizer after a cold peel, but I accidentally put it after my skin peeled and i now have the worst fungal allergy in my life, it’s not even acne it’s just that my face is swollen and there is red dry scratchy spots that feel like my skin is burning .
i used to love it but not anymore
