This moisturizer works differently than most formulas. As you rub it into your skin, the moisturizer begins to melt into your body without a heavy or thick finish. The clear formula looks like petroleum jelly, but has a less greasy and softer feel. It almost becomes a liquid on your face or body as you work the dry skin care cream into the area. EltaMD "Melting" Moisturizer (Intense Moisturizer) was developed to retain 90% of the moisture in your skin for at least 12 hours. Keep this slim moisturizer tube next to your bed for deep hydration all night long.
EltaMD "Melting" Moisturizer (Intense Moisturizer) is perfect for post-procedure or sensitive skin battling common concerns and irritation. The gentle, lightweight formula spreads easily and minimizes dryness deep below the skin’s surface as you sleep. Apply it to dry elbows and heels to soften rough patches. You can also smooth it over areas with eczema, psoriasis or other concerns for reduced redness, flaking and itchiness. It’s a great facial moisturizer for a retinoid regimen or after a peel that leaves your skin a little dry.

I love MD products just struggle with the greasy feeling it leaves on my skin. I prefer a lotion base, but did use all my product and still love the way it makes my skin feel.

My husband uses it on his seborrheic dermatitis on his chest. It doesn’t make his flare up completely disappear, but he loves the way it absorbs and moisturizes the dry skin. Also helps my daughters eczema. And my dry feet!

This leaves your skin very smooth and hydrated. Is on the oily side but absorbs well. I use it for my elbows and feet which are my driest areas. I can't recommend this enough, already bought two more to give to my mom and sister.

Trying to use this as a nightly moisturizer didn't quite work as it seems (for my oil tendency skin) does not absorb, it just sits over and probably left over my pillow. Probably work for burnt or irritated areas, but not so much as a daily product.

This is a very good product, but I find I have to shake it before applying as it seems to separate. I used a sample and really liked on very dry spots or spots prone to eczema. Butwhen I buy again, I'll go for the jar.

I got this to use after peel and will use it once I start with retinol creams. It definitely seems to work. It’s hard to gauge how much will be enough and not way too much. I expect the tubes I bought to last a long time.

After incorporating Retinol into my routine, I’ve been struggling with my skin peeling. This moisturizer is heavy (and a little goes a long way), but it’s nearly eliminated those frustrating white flakes and patches I was waking up to several times each week. This product is definitely for nighttime-only use because it doesn’t disappear after application, but it works well following the Retinol application for me.

When I first used this moisturizer I was a bit surprised at the "type" and consistency of it. I had planned to use it as my night moisturizer. I figured it would be a rich cream since it was labeled as "intense". It's actually more like an ointment or balm, but not as heavy or greasy. It does immediately "thin out" similar to a serum upon application. It does a nice job of moisturizing and my face does not react to it like other creams I've used.

I’m always on the lookout for an effective moisture barrier for the drier areas of my face and neck. Elta’s moisturizer works really well for having such basic ingredients, and even though it’s fairly greasy, it soaks into my dry skin pretty quickly. I’ll even press a bit onto extra dry areas after my moisturizing sunscreen. Very reasonably priced and you don’t need a lot at one time—will definitely repurchase!

This has been my very favorite for a long time. I have very dry skin and I put this one on last, at night, and let it do its thing overnight. I absolutely love it. It was originally recommended to me by my dermatologist because any retinol product makes my face peel. Add this on top at night and it will repair any problems. Large tube, last a long time. You have to buy two tubes at a a time, so be careful not to let it get too warm or it does have a tendency to become more liquid like (oil?).

I use this at night whenever my skin needs extra TLC, such as after a chemical peel or when my skin is extra parched. It feels like a melting petroleum balm and creates a nice moisturizing barrier. The next morning my face usually feels more moisturized and hydrated. The product amount will last a very long time, too.

I use this as a last layer of my skin care routine at night. It literally melts into skin and keeps my layers of moisturizer underneath stay. I also use for rough areas such as elbows and knees. Great and fungal acne safe!

I swear by all Elta MD products and this one is no exception. I live in CO and during the winter cold and dryness, this product is a lifesaver. My feet and hands love it. It also heals my skin after autoimmune flares and after laser procedures. I love that LovelySkin carries the full line, the products are authentic and prices can’t be beat!

Half a dime sized amount. Overs the entire face and neck! Wow...this tube will last a lifetime. This is very rich and is perfect for dry winter months. I haven’t broken out and it seems to be improving my very dry areas.

I’ve been experimenting with retinols and this is a must have for anyone going through retinization. It’s also a fantastic occlusive for dry skin and burns. So much better than the French cult favorite that starts with a B. This has no fragrance and no parabens.

Dermatologist had me use this following laser treatment. Takes a while to soak into skin but very moisturizing.

I switched from using a heavier, stickier healing ointment from the drugstore to using this at night during my transition to using tretinoin. This is much more pleasant to apply than the ointment. It feels sheer and light on the skin but seems just as effective in helping keep my skin moist. I follow the package suggestion to apply, then tissue blot after a few minutes. A warning to those dealing with summertime temperatures: it liquefies inside the tube when it gets even a little bit warm inside my house (I don’t run my central air every single day because I like fresh air!).

I use Tretinoin every nigh for aging purposes, and I found my skin irritated and dry. So, I tried this moisturizer, and I fall in love immediately. I use it before and/or after vitamin A, and I solved the problem. Also, once a week I use only the moisturizer (more quantity) as a mask and next day my skin looks amazing. Thank you, Elta MD and LovelySkin, for the discounts.
