This is THICCCC. Almost damaging to remove from dry skin.
I got this to try as an alternative make up remover instead of Ponds Cold Cream or Vaseline, and I thought I would be able to put a pump top lid on it - NOPE. Too thick to suck up the straw.
I genuinely don't know what the best use for this product is.
It works at dissolving makeup and sunscreen - but its a PITA to clean off. Show more
it works really well for me it just sucks to take off the skin, since it’s so thick you have to pull and tuck at the skin to get it fully off which just gets annoying
