Ok but not great

The packaging is lovely so I had high expectations, especially since I'm a devout follower of the Lucas pawpaw balm. The first thing I noticed was how difficult it was to squeeze the product out. It has a much thicker consistency than the Lucas pawpaw one but a similar colouring. It also doesn't spread as nicely on the lips although it is quite moisturising. One thing I liked over the Lucas one is that it's not as oily so doesn't have that shiny look. Overall, I think I'd stick with my Lucas pawpaw.

Natural and organic paw paw balm!

I'm a huge fan of the Lucas paw paw balm so I was super excited when I received this in the mail! It comes in a gorgeous apricot colored tube with a small screw on lid.

When I excitedly tried to squeeze some product out, however, I ran into a problem. The consistency of this is somewhere on the boarder between gel ointment and SOLID. It was so mission impossible to get out and after a few uses I discovered sadly it aint gonna get any easier. The consistency kind of makes me think of those silicone based primers if you sucked all the moisture out of them. By then I was a little skeptical as to whether this is even going to work. But wait!

First I tried it on my armpits where I had somehow managed to chaff them when I went running one day (sorry for the horrific image). It felt soothing when I applied it and was surprisingly not that difficult to rub in. It feels slightly sticky after application but it's easily ignored after a while.I've been using it continuously for three days now, with day and night applications, and basically all the chaffed skin has healed! I'm beyond stoked, usually it takes close to a week to heal.

I've found it also works amazing as a lipbalm and really provides a moisture barrier. I wore this out on a walk yesterday when it was quite windy and at the end of it my lips still feel as if I had just applied it. There is a very faint smell like this sesame seed paste I'd eaten before.

I'm really loving this and for the price of $10 it gets a big thumbs up from me!

Tips: Warm it up slightly (shove it in your bra or put the tube in a cup of hot water) will make it easier to squeeze the product out.

Bit of a let down

I was so excited when I made the trial team for this product, I love Lucas Paw Paw and was intrigued to try another brand of paw paw. I loved the packaging it looked sleek and the soft peach colour was really appealing!

I popped it straight into my handbag as I knew that it would come in handy at work especially working in aircon, my skin and lips can get quite dry. I grabbed it the next day and encountered an issue it is sooo hard to get out of the squeeze tube! I was squeezing so hard I was worried it was going to pop open somewhere else and pour out! I managed to get a little bit out and put it onto my lips and it was hard to evenly distribute the product. I instantly did not like it, it felt thick/gloppy and just felt strange.

I decided then it might be better for dry skin then for your lips, I prefer Lucas Paw Paw for lips. I find that using it on skin is much better it protects and soothes without feel greasy or looking shiny compared to Lucas Paw Paw.

Tips: Roll the tube in your hands, or rinse under some warm water to make the product easier to squeeze out.

Sukin Paw Paw Ointment - It was OK!

I went in to this review having never used any Paw Paw ointments, so nothing to make a direct comparison to.

The tube looks pleasant enough, it is bigger than I had imagined so for the price you get a lot of product. Certainly more 'balm' sized than ''lip product' sized.

The first thing I noticed was how hard the product was to squeeze out of the tube, it was very firm and you really have to squeeze hard to coax any out. I put what I thought was a small amount on my index finger and applied to my lips - turned out I had WAY to much. It was extremely thick and really cakey - although not tacky or sticky. It actually felt quite awful so I wiped it off and applied a tiny amount, you really don't need much! The texture was better, I still found it thick and waxy but not tacky which I appreciate. It has no scent and no flavor.

I have trialed the product by applying morning and night. My lips were not hugely chapped but a little dry, I'm not sure I would say it has helped a huge amount but it certainly has not hindered or been unpleasant. The reason I give this product an 'OK' rating is that if I compare to other lip treatments it seems on par, no worse and no better. It didn't wow me but I would happily have it in the cupboard, especially for that price!

What I do think this would be great for is prevention! During summer I spend a lot of time outdoors, I go boating and fishing quite often and get wind chapped lips, I can see this being great to apply before those activities and look forward to doing so!

Tips: Only use the tiniest amount and don't keep it anywhere cool because it is really firm and hard to squeeze out.

Great skin product

In this cooling weather i have noticed my lips are getting a little dry so have been using this on them and have found that it has made a nice difference. They dont feel dry anymore and as an added bonus my lipstick seems to apply better and has better coverage. I dont usually give my lips any attention except just slap on my lippy when i'm doing my makeup but now that i have noticed this difference I am going to keep using this.

I did find it to be a little difficult to get out of the tube when i first got it, it was very thick and it took a bit of squeezing until i could get any out which was slightly annoying but now i know to massage the tube a bit to warm it up and it comes out fine.

I like the fact that i only need to use a very tiny amount so it will last a good while. The smell is very subtle which i enjoy, just a slight fragrance.

I have some dry patches on my hands that i have also been applying this too and they seem to be diminishing and my skin feels a lot softer and not so tight. I usually just use a hand cream but will be using this from now on as i have noticed the difference.

Overall this product has done what it said it would and i am very pleased with the results. I will be purchasing this when it runs out and would definitely recommend it to people.

Move over other ointments!

No smell (I like pretty smells but that's not always a good thing hehe) and very hard to squeeze out of the tube to start with (I thought I got a dud at first but realised I just needed to use my finger muscles haha).

I got a new tattoo a couple of weeks ago and have always used bepanthen cream while the tattoo is in the healing process (I was told to use it when I got my first one and have used it ever since). But I thought this would be the perfect thing to test this product on. So I did.

The tattoo is at the itching-like-crazy-making-me-crazy stage. I've been using this ointment since I found it in the mailbox on Saturday and have to say I'm really impressed! I rub a small amount in in the morning and I don't get the itchies all day and it doesnt get all dry and crusty.

It's also helped a lot with the bruising.

I'd definitely buy this again. I always have the "other" popular brand in the house but I had a sore a while ago that it didn't seem to help heal so I'll change to to this one going forward.

I like it, but I'm not in Love with it

I was really excited to try this product for a few reasons. One, I always borrowed paw paw off my friends and in small doses I really liked the effects. Two, this product has no baddies and is filled with great natural ingredients. Three, I had been sick for a few weeks and my lips were in dire need of hydration and care and I was excited to see how this paw paw could benefit me.

The packaging is simple but cute. The colour is a vibrant coral peach, a great colour that stands out amongst the troves of things in my handbag - so it's easy to identify and whip out. It says on it that it has no bad things, further promoting that image of a natural product. It also says that it can combat dryness etc, so decided I would not only use this on my lips but my hands as well.

I must say it is very hard to squeeze out of the container, as I mentioned before I would usually just use my friends one - so maybe she had warmed it with her hand? When I finally squeezed some out I noticed it smelt faintly like soap, it wasn't overly like papaya but more like vaseline. The consistency is similar to other paw paw products I have tried. It instantly provided hydrated and moisture to my sore and dry lips. It also had a nice shine to it, making my lips look great! The effects of using this product over the last week have been very positive but not life changing. It did help my lips recover, and I had to use it less frequently than I would other lip balms. On my hands it felt a little greasy until it settled into my skin, but then made my hands soft and a little shiny.

Overall I liked this product, and would potentially purchase again, but I wasn't so blown away that I feel as though I need to tell everyone about it.

Tips: Warm the tube with your hands as it is very hard to squeeze out otherwise.

Sucking paw paw ointment

Firstly thanks beauty review for choosing me as one of the lucky candidates to trial this product. It is a gorgeous looking tube with beautiful peach colour packaging ( very appealing ) also a perfect size for the handbag or glovebox of car. I love the fact that this product doesn't contain petroleum like other paw paw ointment does. I am very health conscious so a huge tick from me there. It's also got No sulphates, No synthetic fragrances, No animal derivatives, No harsh detergents, No propylene glycol, No artificial colours, No triethanolamine, No mineral oils, No EDTA and no parabens. So it's all natural yay!

I tried this on a cut on my nose but didn't have any effect at all but to be fair I went to the doctor and it required an antibiotic ointment. This felt amazing on my lips though, it aslo felt good that I wasn't putting anything toxic on my lips . Will be my best friend if I happen to get dry cracked lips from a cold or flu and the elements outside. I think it's a reasonable price for the tube size but my only concern is the fact that it's so hard to squeeze the product out of the tube. Maybe the contents is a little thick or the hole is too small. Over all I like this product.

Balmy moisturiser

Firstly the packaging is so nice! It's very pretty and the screw top lid is easy to use. The product itself is so thick though that it takes so much effort to squeeze out and it's hard to control the exact amount. I was squeezing so hard I thought I'd pop the tube! It's unscented and is a white-ish balm. It's very thick and you need quite a bit of warmth to melt it so that it will glide easily over skin.

Whilst not the easiest product to use, it definitely does what it said it'd do. It is incredibly moisturising and lasts for ages until it gets rubbed off by food or drink. It's worked really well for my lips these couple of weeks where the weathers quite cool and my lips have been quite dry. It acts as a salve. I also find that it works for dry skin and cuticles too - but is often a bit too greasy for everyday use. I haven't used it long enough to comment on it's effect on skin texture. Using it on the ends of my hair also makes it look shinier and healthier.

Overall, I quite enjoy the actual product itself, but I'm just not a fan of how thick it is! Every time I squeeze it, it just takes too much effort and I wouldn't repurchase.

Tips: Use it on lips, dry skin, cuticles and hair ends! The tiniest bit goes a long way!

Petroleum, Petrochemical, Paraben free Paw Paw

If you want natural pawpaw ointment then here's the answer.... On first opening the tube I couldn't squeeze anything out, it was so incredibly thick. It also had no smell, I was expecting a lovely tropical pawpaw smell with jelly consistency. I have dry patches on my forehead and chin and they instantly cleared up. After a few days even better, they haven't returned. I tried it on my lips as they're quite dry but I didn't like the feel of it, kind of like a thick barrier coating, it cleared away the chaffing but left my lips with a dry but smooth feeling. I am pregnant so I would likr to try it on my baby as a barrier cream as its natural. If only I could squeeze it out if the tube!! And a lovely paw paw scent would've been nice.. Its also a good price about the same as its more unnatural competitors.

Tips: This is a good natural alternative as I wanted to try the Lucas pawpaw because it was so popular and sounded so good, i was surprised it had petroleum base in it. Even though its pharmaceutical grade petroleum base I will Not put anything unnatural on my skin, petroleum is a petrol derivative from crude oil often known as mineral oil. Avoid unnatural Products like these with hidden ingredients at all costs non matter how deceptive these companies are, do your research, its your body. Would you put car oil on your skin? Even though its pharmacy grade its still unnatural and not safe in the long term no matter what they say
