Review (1/5): Not happy with this product
I got this to help with my ear and nostril piercings. My ear piercings had tightened up after many years of not wearing jewelry. I could barely fit standard earrings in but the left side would hurt after a short time and I would have to remove it. My piercer stretched them just to a 16g. My nostril gets a little sore and irritated when removing and inserting jewelry for cleaning.
Even though I shower and scrub my ears and jewelry daily I sometimes get that funky yeasty cheesy smell. I found out that can happen when they have been stretched, even if just a small amount.
I also wanted something to make inserting earrings and nostril rings easier.
So enter Smelly Gelly. Something I tried to put on my skin and jewelry.
Pros
Cute little tin.
I would imagine even with this small amount that it would last a lot time.
After cleaning and applying in the morning I didn’t notice a cheesy smell at bedtime like I sometimes do. Although by morning it was back and yes I used fresh pillowcases.
Low product price
Cons
Shipping is an extra cost. Not prime and not free.
It’s a hard wax. Even warming it with my hands it stays just a hard, tacky wax.
It didn’t lubricate my jewelry to make it any easier to insert.
It smells like oil that has gone rancid.
I had to stir it up to get any scent besides old oil to appear.
The only faint scent that came out when stirred was maybe of eucalyptus.
When used in my nostril jewelry I was stuck with the rancid oil smell all day.
It did not help with nostril irritation from changing out jewelry.
I’m really bummed as I went back and forth deciding between this and similar products. I went with this because I wanted the essential oils that the other products were lacking.
