Aquaphor

4.7
(20)
"Aquaphor!! a thin layer moisturizes, a heavy hand is glossy. MAKE SURE YOU GET THE TUBE OF HEALING OINTMENT NOT THE LIP BALM!!! the healing ointment works best"
·
"Aquaphor is always the answer."
·
"It comes in these small little togo squeeze bottles and theyre the only thing that works for me"
·
"Seconding aquaphor! Started using it when I had facial surgery which resulted in extremely dry, cracked and peeling skin."
·
"The aquaphor in the white tub with a blue lid is the bomb. I have had HORRIBLY chapped, peeling lips my whole life ... it's the only stuff that's helped."
·
"If you ever have a rash, dry skin or even dry nose (inside), cracking skin, even a sore butt hole?? Aquaphor. Every time it just helps if not totally heals."
·
"Aquaphor is my holy grail"
·
"Aquaphor ointment. They have little containers for your purse, but it works so well."
·
"Aquaphor is the only one that my lips ended up only liking! Works really well for me"
