This isn't nearly as great as I had hoped it would be.
I have problems with severe dry skin in the winter months, and so I got very excited when I saw in the store that Triple Paste made a severe dry skin and eczema cream. My son has very sensitive skin and eczema; when he was a baby he frequently suffered from diaper rash, and the Triple Paste medicated ointment for diaper rash always cleared it right up. It was amazingly effective, and so I assumed that the company's dry skin cream would probably be great also. Well, I was wrong. After several days of using it, I did feel and see SOME improvement, as compared to using no product at all, but I really wasn't very impressed. It didn't absorb very well. It's very thick and greasy-feeling, and when my hands are already dry and cracked, it doesn't feel nice at all to have to use lots of pressure and rubbing to spread this thick stuff. Once the cream is on, there is a small feeling of relief and improved moisture on my hands, but the cream mostly just sort of sits there rather than soaking in well, and then I get greasy stuff all over everything I touch. The list of ingredients is fairly short and not too frightening, which is good, but the cream has a sort of petroleum-product smell to it, I guess from the white petrolatum. I've heard that this cream works really well for some people, but it just doesn't impress me much. Effectiveness It helps, but it doesn't work nearly as well as I expected it would considering who it's made by. Scent The smell is not pleasant, but it at least is fairly faint. I have a VERY strong sense of smell, so many people might not smell it at all. Absorption It seems to just sit there on top of the skin.
