I literally JUST purchased this product to use for "SLUGGING" a week ago, because of the research I was doing & looking it up on here! So, I haven't been using it for a very long time, but they're asking me to review it & they send the #voxboxs😉☺️ So, I feel I can at least do a review on a week's worth of usage for now & then in 3 or 4 weeks update the post with more indepth information & before & after pictures!!! Really quickly though, for those who've never heard about it or done it, basically "Slugging" is when you put a layer of "occlusives" onto the face to deeply penetrate the skin for deep repair, relief & to seal in moisture & the products previously used! ! It's for dry, sensitive & combo skin types! Occlusives (think Vaseline & it's texture, Olive Oil, but also Jojoba Oil, Vitamin E, Sunflower Oil, to just name a few) can be everyday products that some may even have around the house, but because they are extremely thick &/or greasy, fortunately some brands have taken notice & have included other natural ingredients for both better results & for better spreadability, texture & absorption! After my usual research & reading, I finally chose the CeraVe Healing Ointment! I chose it for 3 main reasons; Firstly, I currently use many CeraVe products & I really love their formulas & ingredients, because they work for me-I got/get visible results with consistent use! Secondly, for this products added ingredients & all of their many benefits, such as Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin E & a Ceramide Complex blend formulated with 5 DIFFERENT TYPES OF CERAMIDES-Which ARE the absolute BEST for keeping the skins Barrier & Microbiome balanced & healthy, ESPECIALLY during the colder months & to keep the skin radiant, glowy & plump! Thirdly, the price is awesome & comes in about 4 different sizes-from small, purse sized ones to throw in our bags, pockets or wherever, to the travel size(which I have), to long tubes & even a jar!!! But with this, a little definitely goes a long way! Yes, it IS thick like Vaseline, that's kinda the idea, BUT this one has great absorption & melts like butter when warmed up between the fingers or palms! Plus, it really doesn't leave the face too overly greasy! With "Slugging" you would use this at NIGHT, like I do, & before applying a leave on sleeping mask for the entire night! You basically WANT to SEAL in ALL those great products & their ingredients you spend your hard earned money on, the best you can & leave a layer on the face for protection from any pollutants &/or dust & dirt! I also wanted to mention that this product is actually non-comedogenic, so for MOST it will NOT clog the pores or cause any acne breakouts or irritation! I have combo, hormonal acne, that has a mind of it's own & since starting this product, it has NOT broken me out or cause any purging or irritation! I also must admit that I was very hesitant to use anything with petroleum in it & that has a Vaseline like texture to it! But, I did my due research & found a couple of really wonderful "Slugging" formulations that actually work & yet AGAIN, CeraVe has made another VERY well formulated product that's shown to work & with a CLEANER formula then just regular Vaseline! AND, IT IS MADE FOR THE FACE AS WELL, NOT JUST THE BODY! Overall, I love it so far! If anyone's interested, I'm actually now done with my main research & am writing a blog post about "Slugging", "Skin-Cycling" & certain ingredients used in this process, such as Ceramides & what they do! I'm also writing about the skins natural skin barrier & it's Microbiome, also known as the Microflora, what the function of the skin barrier is, what it does/prevents & which ingredients & products BEST prevent, heal & treat the skins barrier, even if it's ALREADY compromised & badly irritated!
