My overall experience/comments on the product:

    Ok so I use this in a somewhat unconventional way - as hand cream. Now $50 is kind of steep to drop on a regular hand cream but essentially this is what happened. The Ceramidin line had a soft buzz going around it and I was curious, especially because if you look at the gel version there's pieces of the ceramide goodness in blobs throughout the gel and it's just interesting, you know. That said I have a ton of moisturizers and didn't even want to try this stuff because if I fell in love with it I didn't want to justify buying it. Then one day one of my clients asked me to make her a sample of this and I got a little on the back of my hand. I figured my hands are getting dry let me just rub it in. Legit in that moment I felt such a great burst of moisture that I figured let me put this on properly. Every single year around wintertime I think I mention in one way or another that my hand eczema comes back and last year it wasn't as severe only because going to Puerto Rico mid-January must've confused it but it can get really painful and I've had my skin crack and bleed in the past so anything that helps is always a plus. This doesn't just hydrate though, this legitimately stops the hand eczema in its tracks, when I feel the tell-tale dryness and itchiness I only have to put a little of this on and typically I'll be good for a week or so. I bought this because it really works for me and because it'll last me a while. Out of all the moisturizers in the line the cream texture works best for my hands and body which is why I bought this. I did try this on my face but it feels a bit thick and I think I'd prefer the gel for that. That said once I start using my laser for hair-removal I might use this to soothe the possible irritation.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
