BALM OF GILEAD Manuka Defense Healing Lip Balm - Intensive Moisture Therapy in Tube w/Manuka, Tea Tree & Cooling Peppermint - Ideal for Chapped & Cracked Lips - Beauty Pack Of 4-0.15 oz

I immediately noticed a difference within a few seconds of application. I have dermatitis and eczema that is severely itchy and painful. I have tried several different products, some natural and some prescriptions, including steroid creams. Some have worked okay but taken several days to clear up my skin. Others haven't worked at all to stop the intense itching, not even the prescription creams. This is the first that has worked so quickly to relive the itching and pain. After only 1-2 applications, my redness was gone and the itching almost non-existent. See the before and after photos. Some spots are extra stubborn, like those on my scalp, which need more than 2 applications to clear up. However, this makes the pain and itching much more bearable while waiting for the sores to go away completely. This is the first ointment that I only need to use a little for it to work. Many others I have gone through a whole container in less than a month. This product I have probably used about a quarter of the container so far. This means a lot to me because most of the natural salves are so expensive. Even though the price of this may seem high, it really isn't since it only takes a little to bring relief. And 4 oz is lasting me quite a long time. The scent is light and herbal/essential oil smelling. This is no problem for me because I like those scents and it's really light. Also, some products containing manuka honey have a really strong (almost unpleasant) smell - this one doesn't. It's very easy to apply. Just scoop a little onto your finger, then rub it in where you need it. I'm not sure how to describe the texture of the salve but I will try. I really like the feeling compared to some others I have tried. It's solid when you first open it. It will soften up with the warmth of your finger. It feels silky and smooth, and absorbs quickly. You can see a sheen on your skin which some people may call oily or greasy. But it's a very light feeling on my skin in my opinion. Some other salves I have used seem heavier and even waxy feeling. This does not. I definitely recommend trying this if you have itchy or painful skin. Or even just to have on hand for bug bites or cuts. The ingredients in this are really good for your skin health.

This has been the ONLY cream out of many that I have tried for an eczema and allergy dry skin that actually soothed with relief my skin. Yes it's a little bit on the greasy but very silky side and dies take a little longer too absorb but being that this calmed my skin way down from first time application, I'm not going to complain about the greasy part. I personally love the smell of it, I can definitely smell the manuka honey, the tea tree oil a little more powerful but not overpowering. It's a fresh unique smell to me. And of course I cannot complain about any of the ingredients - absolutely No chemicals! Huge huge plus for me, and actually would have never bought in the first place had it any chemical or questionable ingredients. Id say give it a try especially if you have autoimmune/ eczema skin. I love it!!

I bought this for my husband who has developed dry patches (?) on his elbows. The Dr said he thinks he has developed psoriasis and wanted to give him different prescriptions but they had potential harmful side effects so we said no. After using this balm, he has seen a lessening of bad flares. He's very happy about that. He says this balm is very soothing. There's a nice smell that fades after a few minutes. The balm really works for many hours. It absorbs well and is easy to apply. I would say that it's a great value. There are lotions and balms out there that are as/more expensive and don't soothe the skin like this product and wow let's talk about all the added water and other chemicals these other companies put in their products. This balm is the real thing and has no harmful chemicals just soothing relief. I'm glad for that! In fact, my husband liked it so much I also bought the frankincense & myrrh also. He doesn't mind the smell at all. He said that in fact the even the smell kind of soothes him. He's been very stressed about the patches of skin so if it soothes him, that's a good thing!

This stuff is pretty good. Smells nice, a lot like tea tree oil. I love the thickness of it from the tallow, that’s very important for me, and even though it’s greasy, it’s not too bad as it absorbs into the skin pretty quickly. Used it for about 5 days, and when it’s applied my hands stay pretty moisturized for a few hours. It’s expensive, my only complaint. Good quality though.

Great product! Helps soothe! Very creamy. It has a good scent and very absorbent. A little goes a long way!

I ordered this because it was recommended by a friend. I ordered it along with the lip balm and it was supposed to come next day. The lip balm did, but the cream took two weeks. I have psoriasis and was so hopeful that this would help me! I did see the other reviews that said it stinks but my friend said she had never noticed anything but a pleasant smell. It is very emollient and the initial smell is kind of citrus/herbal. I used it on the areas that I have psoriasis and on some other dry areas. It’s after I put it on my skin that I smelled the awful odor! It makes me think of the coal tar ointment I tried once. The ingredients did not list it, but that’s the smell. Like I said it is emollient but it hasn’t helped my psoriasis. I’m giving it to my friend! The lip balm doesn’t smell bad but it only works ok, not any better than store brand.

Started using on my face and it's clearing my skin and not causing breakouts. Typically I cannot try any product without a breakout, so this is great and it's pretty good value for the money. On top of that natural ingredients which I love. Great for any skin issues, multiple uses and will not irritate skin. Give this a try

Nice and soft cream that goes on a bit oily but soaks in quickly. Scent is not overpowering. Works much better than vasoline. Can even use on face in small amounts. My Scar is happy with this product.

I’ve Dyshidrotic eczema and it help me a lot but I received a deficit product and leaked cream
