Eucerin

This is a very thick, vaseline-based balm. The active ingredient petrolatum is the pure form of vaseline. It helps skin recover from damage, reduce inflammation, and protect skin against environment. In this sense, this oinment lives up to its claim.

Other ingredients are added for the same purpose. Lanolin is very thick substance derived from the sebaceous glands of sheep. Lanolin is a rich emollient especially for dry skin. But it can cause breakouts for someone with oily skin. To sensitive skin it may be a irritant. Only dry to very dry skin should attempt this product.

Panthenol is a non-irritating, precursor form of Vitamin B. It can penetrate skin and transform into pantothenic acid (commonly known as Vitamin B5). Panthenol maintains skin water retention and treats minor irritation.

This is a simple, does-what-it-says product. I like it.

Safety alert: Cautious
