Let me start by saying, this tallow and honey balm is a game-changer for my skincare routine. As someone with combination skin that tends to get dry in certain areas, finding a moisturizer that doesn't leave me greasy yet deeply hydrates has been a challenge - until now.
The whipped texture is divine - it glides on like a dream and absorbs surprisingly fast for such a rich product. I've been using it primarily as a night cream, waking up to plump, happy skin. My favorite unexpected benefit? It works wonders on cracked cuticles too!
Now for the not-so-great parts: That scent. Oh boy. While some reviewers don't mind it, to me it smells like someone mixed grandma's perfume with a candle shop. The fragrance is strong enough that I can't use it during the day (my coworker actually asked if I'd changed perfumes).
Performance-wise though? Absolute magic. My 54-year-old skin drinks this up. I've noticed my fine lines looking softer after about three weeks of consistent use. My husband (61) stole some for his razor burn and now insists on 'borrowing' it regularly.
A word of caution - the jars are smaller than they appear in photos. At this price point, I wish they were more generous with the quantity since I find myself rationing it between face, hands, and those stubborn dry patches.
Would I repurchase? Absolutely, but with fingers crossed they'll offer an unscented version someday. For now, the results outweigh the perfume-y downside.
