Product claims: Fragrance-free, Soothing balm, non-greasy, no white marks texture, skin barrier recovery, safe for babies, children and adults.
Accessibility: 5/5
This product is everywhere in Taiwan, from chain drugstore to affordable beauty shops. It can also be purchased online.
Packaging: 5/5
Very simple, white matte tube packaging. Never had an issue squeezing out enough product. I got the 100ml, but it would be good to have the 40ml size in my make-up bag.
Texture: 4/5
Texture is on the heavier side, but still lighter than petrolatum which makes it a good substitute for the later. Texture does not feel oily at all and my sensitive skin reacts well with this.
Other things to note:
This is an amazing multi-tasking cream! I also use this product to immediately soothe mild burns from cooking. It works well for relieving itchy skin when my dermatitis flares up, but takes a little while to work- about 20 minutes so I need to restrain myself from scratching.

Value for Money: 3.5/5
It’s a good value for the amount of product you get, but you have to finish the product within 6 months after opening. I try to use this sparingly (spot treatment of very dry, flaky area or main moisturizer when my skin is acting up), because I don’t think I’ll be able to get a new one when I move back to my country (which is soon), but given the duration of use I might need to use it more.
Texture: 4/5
It has a no white mark texture promise, but it kind of does leave a faint white mark so if this is a concern it’s best to use it at night. I use it in day time only on days that my skin is acting up (super dry from night before or dermatitis flare up).
Other things to note:
Not vegan, not cruelty-free.
