I really like this balm, it's very herbal. I don't use it on my face, it would cause acne. I put it too far up on my neck, and I got chin acne. I just have to keep it off of my face. On my dry chest skin, it works great. It's thick, and it remains on my skin thru the night, with no issues. You don't need very much, it holds in moisture on dry skin nicely.

I am very impressed with the quick impact this balm has had on the appearance of my skin. Initially I was not too impressed with the dark yellow color and the strong aroma of the balm. It has notes of ginger and turmeric to it and the fragrance is really very strong. The directions say to use a rice grain size portion to apply to the neck before bed. While seemingly miniscule, the impact of this was surprisingly obvious the next day. I used it for a few days before increasing the amount and it felt a bit warm and tingly so more is not better in this case. I've been using it for a week now and the tone and suppleness of the skin has really improved quite dramatically.
