Sukins Ointment

Earlier in the year Best Beauty Boxes had a gamble box. In my gamble box was this Pawpaw ointment. Admittedly I have never used Pawpaw ointment before. I was stoked to give it a try.

Packaging wise I enjoy this peachy coloured tube. The formula reminds me of a firm petroleum jelly. It looks clear. There's a very mild sweet scent that's fruity.

During winter my nose got a hammering from using tissues and is pretty dry. I find this product warms well when massaged in between fingertips. I used this ointment on my dry nose and well as my lips.

After using it for a good month I noticed the hydration on my nose had returned. My lips were nice and soft too.

I'd love to try more Pawpaw ointments to compare to this one. I did enjoy using it. I could see myself repurchasing it in the near future.

Average

Ever since I got my vertical labret done I've noticed my lips being a little bit drier and cracking quite a bit. So I was happy to accept the invite onto this trial.

The packaging is super cute. A red/orange tube with a black lid the tube was quite solid.

Solid because the product is really thick maybe?! I found I had to really squeeze super hard to get any product out. I placed a wee bit on my pinky finger and rubbed to together with another finger to warm it up a little and make it a little bit easier to apply to the lips. Ice noted once it's warmed up a little it tends to be a bit thinner and a little goes a long way.

Did it do much for my lips? Yes it kept them hydrated through out the day it seemed to help them drying out and cracking. However a day without it? I had noticeable dry patches on my lips. Noticeable cracking and super dry lips.

For this reason it's a product I won't regret purchase or recommend to a friend. While it's good in the moment it's not great in the long run.

Tips: Put a little on your finger rub with another and warm it up, it makes it easier to apply.

As our Paw Paw uses a vegan formula the consistency will be quite different to other brands. It can be difficult to get that first bit out of the tube but after the initial 'breaking the seal' it should come out a lot smoother. Have you been able t

Disappointed this time round

Normally I am a huge fan of Sukin products. I have their face washes, creams and lotions galore! So when this came along I naturally jumped at the chance to try it out.

The tube: is a pretty peach colour and fairly sturdy. It's hard to squeeze the product out and initially thought I was staring at another film of product.

The product it's self: Is white and thick. It has a nice texture to it. But that's where my liking of the product stopped. I felt it did nothing to hydrate my lips or calm the sever chapping I had since coming back to the country. (Windy NZ winters!)

I've palmed this off to my partner who is happily using the product (I spent $9.99..i'm cheap it's not going to waste!).

Paw Poor

I got this product from the BR vault and was keen to try it, as other people seem to like it. I've tried other Sukin products and find them good but not great - noting that they are very gentle and probably a good line of products for people with sensitive skin, and maybe not so effective for women like me who have dry skin.

The Paw Paw ointment comes in a gorgeous pink tube with a screw top. The product squeezes out easily.

The product itself looks a little like vaseline, tastes a little like vaseline, and works as well as vaseline. Though is thicker than vaseline. Disappointing really. I've been using it for over a week on my lips and on a dry patch of skin I have on my cheek. It hasn't helped either. It's a shame because I really really, wanted it to work!

Sadly, I wouldn't buy it, and I don't know who I could recommend it to.

Did not impress

I was lucky to pick this up in the Beauty Vault. I had wanted to try it for ages after seeing it featured in an article. When it arrived I was stunned at seeing how small the tube was. However the packaging is very pretty and appeals to me. A peachy colour squeezy tube with a black screw top.

The product is clear and very thick. It does not have much of a scent at all. When I first went to use it I had so much trouble squeezing it out. I applied so much pressure that it went pop and a big wad shot out on the floor lol. Not a good start. I feel that it needs to be warmed up slightly which I did by simply holding it tightly in my hands. It made it much easier to squeeze out thankfully.

I tried using it on a few cracks I had on my hands. It feels very tacky and is too thick for my liking. Next I used it on my lips which was ok but it feels far too heavy for me. I much prefer a lipbalm.

Unfortunately this was a huge let down for me so I would not use it again.

Fruity

Very fruity. Just be careful when squeezing the tube. You only need a small amount and if your not careful you end up with a big blob of it. Works wonderfully on most things.

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.
