To quickly note, I received this for a small fee from 0.8 Liter for my honest review, this post is not sponsored.
This gel balm comes in a tube and contains 50 ml (1.69 oz) and has a very medicinal/herbal fragrance.
The product is very easy to dispense.
The balm has a very soft texture, it's easy to blend into the skin.
The balm is very smooth and light on the skin.
It absorbs well and is very slightly tacky.
Recommended use is to gently apply to irritated areas of the face or body before or after application of the cream. After using, this cream is very easy to use and very soothing. There is a very noticeable fragrance, it's very natural and herbal smelling so I do believe it's suitable for sensitive skin. The ingredients are ideal for a spot treatment/balm and I tested it before applying cream and after applying cream and I found it be more effective with application beforehand. It really soothes any irritation and redness. It also heals wounds and removes any itching from things like hives or pimples. I would recommend this to people with skin that's easily irritated and itchy.
What I like: this product is very easy to use. It's soothing and hydrating. If you have any itching in your skin it actually works to eliminate that. It's ideal for sensitive skin and works to heal skin and stop skin irritation. The product is very natural and herbal in nature. What I don't like: this product has a pretty strong medicinal/herbal scent and is actually kind of hard to find.
