Rewarded Review

This ointment is great for eczema and acne prone skin. The quality is amazing, the ointment/Baum texture is smooth, hydrating and oily (in a great way). In the photo: the top swatch on my hand is vaseline, the lower one (shiny one) is Eucerin essential oil balm for comparison. It is different than vaseline, vaseline is thicker and doesn’t spread easily. This Eucerin essential oil balm has an oily feeling and spreads very easily. It doesn’t absorb in completely and leaves a shiny oily film on the skin (not sticky- just soft and moisturised). Because of this I use it on top of my Eucerin urea face cream to lock in the moisture overnight and wake up with really soft skin. I naturally have very dry skin which gets itchy and flaky especially during winter time, this balm has already come into good use since turning on the central heating during these cold times. Thankfully this balm is fragrance free and doesn’t actually contain any essential oils, yay :) This balm has some amazing ingredients with great benefit such as; Glycerin: hydrating humectant Shea butter: emollient Urea: moisturiser, humectant Sunflower seed oil: emollient This is the much better alternative to slugging with vaseline. I wish they sold this balm in stores in Canada, thank you iHerb. 3 month update: I still use this Eucerin essential oil balm almost every night and it hasn’t caused any breakouts on my acne prone skin and has kept my facial eczema under control so I haven’t needed to use my usual topical hydrocortisone at all. Just as a tip, less is more with this product, especially under the eyes. I was putting a really thick layer before and developed 1-2 milia underneath my eyes (the same thing happens when I used to put Vaseline under my eyes). Instead now I only put a very thin layer of this balm around my eyes and no new milia has appeared, so all is good 👍. My eczema is the worst around my eye because I itch the eyelids due to allergies so that’s why I continue to use it around my eyes as it has helped the irritation a lot. If you have similar difficulties with your skin, I hope my review helps.
