Lucas’ Papaw Ointment

I've kept this in my purse ever since I purchased it and I really like how the product thins out upon contact with the skin. As a balm, it functions similarly to Aquaphor or Vaseline, but the texture has a lot more slip. If you have severely chapped lips, this might not be the heavy duty thing you're looking for, but I find that it hydrates my lips really well and has a really pleasant, almost cinnamon-y smell. Would repurchase.

I put this on my hands 30 mins ago and it is just sitting on top of my skin. It is just greasy and yucky. Do not recommend at all. And now my computer is all greasy. WIll have to clean my hands and my computer . Yuck

So I bought this because I read good things and I was having some nasty mosquito bites that I wanted to test this on. It worked really well in stopping the itch and keeping it from getting bigger. My mosquito bites can really swell up. BUT that’s not why I’m giving it the 5 starts. A few months ago my allergies started acting up BADLY. I was constantly blowing my nose and my nose became dry and flaky. Last week I got a bad cold. It got so bad that the inside of my nose was cracked and bleeding. I really was in pain. I remembered that this was supposed to help with open wounds and within two nights of using it my nose was completely healed from the inside!! I was honestly amazed. I had been using oil to help with the dryness and this blew that out of the water. I noticed after the first night my skin was smoother and wasn’t painful to the touch anymore. After the second night the tiny wound had closed up and the dry rough spots had smoothed out. Now I just have the dark spots that the constant blowing left behind, but hopefully my skin care routine gets rid of those soon.

I have actually no idea why this product is always so hysterically hyped in magazines or blogs... It's a good treatment, no question, but there is better in my opinion. I would like to have a bit of a taste, a little something that makes it "yummy"! But this is maybe what many people like - there is no scent and no taste. If you like that, it's your choice!

I started using this on a volunteer trip in Australia in the woods, and I haven't stopped since. It is like Aquaphor but better/more natural. I love it as a lip balm, on cuticles, on scrapes, etc. I don't use it on bug bites as much as I use it as a skin protectant; it won't relieve itch, but it does protect and nourish the skin. I would even use it as a first aid balm over leach bites before bandaids (yes, leeches. Gross, I know. I had the strongest stomach of the group so that duty fell on me).

I am all about multi-tasking products (in an effort to pair down) and this does the job. Plus the bright red tube is easy to locate in your purse... big bonus!

It helps my chapped lips in winter. Highly recommended, much better than vaseline, really useful.

This is one of my favorite lip products to rejuvenate my lips after wearing long lasting lip stick every day. It nourishes my lips and keeps them soft. I apply at night and in the morning.

I have been trying Lucas Papaw for 2 weeks now and have since been converted. It made the dry patches on my shin disappear, and stay disappeared for the *whole* day. With Aquaphor, its thinner and greasier, doesn't last nearly as long, and the dry patches will still be very visible. Same thing with my hands, it *feels* like a deeper moisture, less re-appplication . Additional plus, it smells like a pleasantly ripened fruit.

I always keep this in my purse when i travel and also on a daily basis. I use it on my lips- omg its sooo good, it leaves my lips so soft and supple. Great for ladies with dry lips. Amazing during winter and onboard the plane. I apply it on insect bites, cuts burns, and true enough, it helps to heal the affected area. You gotta have this ladies :)

great for cuticles, also good on dry patches on face, or eczema spots, apply heat increases effectiveness , not greasy, tube is great for purse, I really like this item in the winter
