5/23/2018 This is the first moisturizer I've tried that has actually worked, so I just reordered some more for me and my sister. The only downside is that it can get a little messy - I wish it had a pump.

9/17/2014 This lotion is extremely effective for treating dry skin. I had very dry skin around both of my ankles and feet, but after just 10 days of using this twice a day, the problem was gone. I highly recommend it!

1/26/2014 I've been using this medication for a while now, and I have noticed my hairfall out at an alarming rate. Has anyone else had this issue?
4.3Patient Review
5/22/2014 The lotion is smooth and easy to apply, without being too thick or greasy. It absorbs quickly into the skin, which is great. The only downside is that it stings a little bit when applied to open wounds or chapped skin.

11/28/2013 I got very sunburned after using this on my arms and then spending time in the sun. It's not great for dryness, but it did help a little bit.
