Can seem greasy at times and hard to clean off your hands, but does prevent marks from stretching

Pleasant scent. I got this for my dry hands. I use it at night. It helps retain moisture.

I am a crafter and work with my hands, I always have tiny nicks and the occasional gnarly cut. I picked this product up to combat dry skin and help with scar reduction.As a balm it's amazing. The texture helps with applications and stays where you slather it. Rich and creamy, with rubbing into the skin this balm absorbs with friction and warmth. My skin felt so soft and revitalized. Deeply moisturizing, my hands felt better. The older scars seem lighter and healing scars fell less tight and more supple/less tight.

A balm ideal to be used on stretch marks to reduce the appearance and discoloration. Natural origin and thick formulation.Neal's Yard Remedies Mother's Balm | Stretch Mark Cream with Organic Coconut & Almond Oils | Organic Stretch Mark Cream for Pregnancy | 6.35 oz net wt.

I really like how concentrated this balm is and supple it makes my skin. I have an area of skin that is rough and dry no matter what lotions I was trying. This balm is concentrated oils/wax and it even made my rough skin feel smoother. The smell is nutty but it doesn't seem overpowering to me but I am used to a lot worse smells. The balm is unscented so it is a mix of nut oils and wax. If you are using the balm in an area that will be covered by clothing, you will need to let it absorb fully before getting dressed. I have been letting it soak in for about 10 minutes prior to dressing and it hasn't rubbed off on any clothes.

I've been using the Neal's Yard Remedies Mother's Balm stretch mark cream for a while now, and I'm really happy with its performance. As a new mom, I was looking for a cream that would help to nourish and moisturize my skin after pregnancy, and this product has definitely delivered.The cream is made with organic coconut and almond oils, which are both rich in nutrients and antioxidants that help to promote healthy skin. I love that it's also free from harsh chemicals and artificial fragrances, which is perfect for my sensitive skin.I've been using the cream on my belly and hips, where I experienced the most stretch marks during pregnancy. It's been really effective in helping to reduce the appearance of these marks, and my skin feels softer and more supple than ever before.One of the things I appreciate most about this cream is its rich and luxurious texture. It's easy to apply and absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving no greasy residue behind. The scent is also pleasant and subtle, which is a bonus.I've been using this cream for a while now, and I've noticed a significant improvement in the appearance of my skin. My stretch marks are less noticeable, and my skin feels more hydrated and nourished than ever before.

The smell. The first time I put this on, the only thing I could smell for the next 12 hours was the balm. It is not an appealing smell. When I use it in lower quantities it hasn’t been nearly as bad, but it’s stick stinky when you open the container.The Vaseline-like texture and consistency makes me a little nervous that it will stain my clothes, but I usually wait about 5+ minutes before getting dressed and I haven’t had any issues yet.The other thing that worries me is the “apricot seed oil” listed in the ingredients. I used this for a few days before I decided to look into the ingredients. I have an appointment with my Dr to make sure that oil is safe for baby. So please check with your Dr before using anything you’re not sure about!I haven’t used this product long enough to know if it really does reduce stress marks, but it has made my skin softer and not itchy from the stretching. It’s a thick balm so it doesn’t require much each time you use it, but overall - I think there’s better smelling and less oily options out there.

This is a waxy balm, which I like because I find I can better control how much I use since a little product will spread a long way. My skin takes a little while to absorb a waxy balm like this, so I tend to apply it at the end of the day when I am heading to bed. The smell is pleasant, and I feel my skin benefits from repeated applications. I like the ingredients, but it seems a tad bit overpriced for me.
