I've use paw paw ointment products in the past and have always found them to work wonders for a whole range of problems! I was super excited to try the Sukin Paw Paw Ointment to see how it compared.
Super cute packaging to start off with — love the adorable pink design! I found the packaging to also be very practical, and it was easy to disperse the perfect amount of product every time. When it's cold the product can be a little more stubborn coming out of the tube, however. No biggie though.
The ointment itself is very similar to other ointments on the market — thick, slightly clear. Has a subtle but not unpleasant scent. It smooths onto the skin easily and is absorbed rapidly by dry skin.
I really wanted to test this product out on things like insect bites, chafing, etc, but I didn't experience anything along those lines while trialling this product! Instead I used it mainly on my lips and my dry elbows, and it seemed to work really well in those areas, instantly nourishing the skin and helping it stay nourished throughout the day.
Would recommend as a cute wee handbag item for unexpected dry lips, skin, bites, chafing, etc. Super handy and lovely to use!
I have used different brands if paw paw ointment previously, and this one was vastly different. I found the consistency to be a lot thicker than previous experiences. This made it great for using on my lips. It not only combated my dry lips, it also lasted so much longer than general balms. Even after drinking several times, Sukin Paw Paw Ointment stayed on. I was so impressed by this. I had an itchy bite that was driving me crazy, but after I put a little Sukin Paw Paw Ointment on, the itching was relieved. The ointment on skin forms a barrier that helps to relieve and protect bites and so forth. Over all I really liked the Sukin Paw Paw Ointment experience, and will definitely be using this product again.
Tips: Applying Sukin Paw Paw Ointment onto lips helps to moisturise and protect lips for long periods of time. I found that adding a little of the product over top of my standard lipstick or gloss helped the colour to last longer and stay in place better.
