so since finding out what pawpaw ointment ACTUALLY is, ive become a believer that its a placebo ointment and if you believe it works, then it does.
sadly i do not.
it smells lovely but thats about all that is good i can say about it. its greasy and i feel like it dehydrates my skin something fierce once its gone. i would not repurchase, or any other paw paw nonsense again!
I have used this for a few months now, only because I bought a large tube. I mainly use it on my lips because it is very dry, flaky and cracked at the moment. It does take the dry feeling away but does not soothe/heal the lips. Even after applying and reapplying it throughout the day, I still have that dry flaky feeling on my lips. I will continue to use it because I don't want to waste it but it is such a large tube which takes up space in my handbag. If it was thicker maybe it would have worked better.
Not as nice as the original paw paw ointment. It's OK, just not as good for some reason. I'll buy quality next time.
I've got dry, cracked lips at the moment and I've been using this for two weeks and nothing. Maybe I haven't used it long enough but all it does it gives temporary relief to my lips until I wipe it off or it dries up and then my lips are sore and tight again. I exfoliate my lips, put paw paw gel on my lips then a light layer of the ointment and still nothing. I will continue to use it till I find something else but this really hasn't done much.
I came across this in one of my grocery shops . I’ve always been curious with these paw paw balms. I often get dry heels , arms and skin. I’m always on the lookout for something that’s hydrating .
Packaging is bright orange. Consistency is creamy vaseline type fluid that has a sweet fruit scent like papaya. Application it goes on like butter. It melts into my skin feeling soft and smooth.
Overall I noticed that my skin was temporarily hydrated. It last’s for a few weeks and my skin goes back to dry again.
I used this as I am a fan of the Lucas pawpaw so thought to try this out. I will admit it smells nice and is moisturising. But ultimately does the same job that vaseline does so probably wont buy again.
This stuff has a weird texture and dries out really quickly, but when first applied on my lips it feels really hydrating which I love and is also so cute and compact that its an easy product to take with you on the go.
So I have a mixed review on this, I love papaw ointment in general and this particular brand seems to do as good a job as the Lucas brand BUT I am not sure if my tube is faulty. Mine was not a smooth texture but had some grainy bits thru out the whole tube. Made it very unpleasant especially due to what I needed it for. I had a misadventure with a teeth whitening product and it had come into contact with the inner part of my lips, even causing a blister in one spot! So it's been a touch painful! I started off just applying lip balm then remembered I had 2 new tubes of papaw ointment. I thought I'd try this brand as I received it for Xmas, so it was still sealed, it made a huge difference but the grainy bits hurt on the raw skin of my lips, so I opened the Lucas brand which is smooth and while doing the same job is more pleasant. Since using the papaw ointment my lips are healing super quick. I'd be interesting in knowing if anyone else has grainy bits in their tube!
I brought this as a cheaper version of paw paw ointment. It generally is the sane and you can use on dry skin or cuts etc but find it a little greasy and doesn't absorb as well as the original paw paw
Tips: You don't need to use too much
Everyone who's everyone seems to use this but it did not do anything good for me. I had a bad reaction on my lips but thought it won't give it another go but it happened again and now I'm too scared to use it again. Not for me unfortunately.
