Great moisturizer for problem skin
I have very sensitive, acne prone skin and this moisturizer calms my skin and is extremely hydrating. It’s the best nighttime moisturizer I’ve ever used.

Soft, Smooth and not Greasy
My skin gets really dry, not only in the winter but also during spring and fall. Even with the most intenseive moisturizer, my skin would dried up and crack again within a short time. I was skeptical to try this moisturizer, but it really made a difference. It looks and feels like it's oil in solid state, but not oily. This is definitely a life saver for anyone with really dry skin.

Heavy but a great travel cream!
A little heavy but great when on planes and in hotel rooms with a lot of dry air. One of my favorite travel adds.

Perfect for slugging
Believe when it says that it melts...comes in a solid form but immediately upon coming in contact with the warmth of your fingers, it will begin to melt. It is not too heavy but it serves as the perfect top layer to seal in your regular moisturizer. I have very oily skin but when I use any prescription such as Retin-A (tretinoin, retinoic acid), my skin becomes dry and sensitive. This helps provide much-needed relief. I only apply it at night and I wake up with beautifully moisturized skin. You only need a very small amount, around half a pea size for the whole face. I prefer this over other popular slugging products.

Dry skin is over
I was having trouble with acne because, as I discovered later, my skin was too dry. I got a professional facial and the esthetician used this moisturizer on me. She gave me a sample to take home and said not to use it more than a couple times a week. I started using it daily and within about 5-7 days of consistent use, 90% of my acne was gone. I also changed my cleanser to something milder, which helped. I use .01% Retin A every night and this moisturizer helps a lot with the dryness. It’s not expensive either. It leaves your skin shiny but that doesn’t bother me. It’s better than acne at 51 any day. I am hooked and so is my partner.

Pure ingredients, night time use only
I like the pure ingredients, but only use it at night. Rub a pea sized amount in, and after continued use I noticed smoother skin. If you do not like a greasy feel, it is not for you. I don't mind it, just take a moment to rub it in, all the way down to your chest.

Simple ingredients, yet effective
2 ingredients-petrolatum and paraffin. That's it. I put it it over a moisturizer on my retinol off nights to help lock in the moisture. It is also nice for eczema and even on lips. It has the consistency o a thin, more "melty" petroleum jelly. Nice to have on hand.

Excellent barrier and moisturizer
I used this after adding retinol to my skincare regimen to alleviate dry, flaky skin. It is very greasy feeling (which makes sense given the ingredients) but it's not tacky and it sits nicely on the skin. I started to mix it with my night-time moisturizer for an extra boost, and I really like using it that way. Used alone I try to use a very small amount. Alleviated the dry flakes and doesn't bother me when used around my eyes. Highly recommend.

Moisture Overload!
I love this product! I like to try new serums and moisturizers on my face and this is one that I keep reordering. It goes on feeling a little greasy but then it “melts” onto your skin and almost feels like a serum. The best part is how my skin is in the morning. It looks smoother and is not dry!

Fabulous moisturizer
This is my absolute go to moisturizer! I use on my face, neck and chest. I also use before applying my foundation as my primer... just a tiny amount give a glowy look and helps even out foundation. Can't leave home without it!!

Amazing moisturizer
This product is one of the best moisturizers I have used in a very long time. I've been using it at night, but also a few times a week in the mornings and then just wiping it off like a mask product. It is amazing how dewy your skin feels and looks after using EltaMD Intense Moisturizer. Oh and it says it melts - it sure does! A little goes a long way and I'm even using it on my lips. This may be my new favorite product.

Loooove! Great for winter dry skin
I love this! I have dry sensitive skin during the winter and oily during the summer. It’s just what I need for my winter dry skin. I put a moisturizer under it and then use just a bit of the EltaMD moisturizer on top. It helps create a nice moisture barrier. It’s perfect for cold dry wind. Keeps my face moisturized and glowing.

Overpriced Petroleum Jelly
May have a lighter look, nothing that can’t be achieved with a dab of similar products, and it isn’t as occlusive

A little greasy
I love EltaMD, but this is one of my least favourite moisturizers. In my opinion, it's way too greasy for the face (the "melting" never quite happens for me). I've been using it on my elbows and heels, and it works well... just a little expensive for the purpose it's serving.

Pricier Petroleum Jelly
I absolutely love Elta products but this "melting" moisturizer was essentially re-packaged petroleum jelly at a higher price point. I mixed it with another Elta moisturizer for a nighttime regimen to combat the cold/dry winter in Colorado and essentially had greasy skin for a few minutes which was quickly followed by clogged pores.
