I got this from the May Glossybox and was really looking forward to trying it.
Before I even took of the seal on this, there was white powder (plastic? free cocaine?!) cap...
As a balm, it really is more of a gel.
It is soothing, it does the job.
However, you should probably never use it, because of the smell.
It's a mix of generic-male-marine, weird herbs, and hospital disinfectant.
And it's strong.
It is less potent after being on for a little bit, but still there and unpleasant.
It's like they just slapped some lame men's aftershave in a bottle and said 'This is for ladies now!'.
If you are going to sell a product that people they are meant to put over their skin, perhaps don't make it smell like the memory of serious illness.
Update: I noticed a few hours later that it gave me a rash...ugh.
