Review (3/5): Not as absorbent as before
I’ve had a 2 liter container of Dermabase that I purchased over10 years ago. I hadn’t used it for a few years and when I resumed, it had a funny odor and it didn’t get absorbed as quickly as it used to so I bought this product. I’ve used it the same way as before, as soon as I get out of the shower so it’s applied on wet skin. Unlike before, it doesn’t get absorbed as quickly into the skin and leaves a bit of residue until it’s rubbed on for at least a minute or 2. When it’s being applied all over the body (including the face), that’s quite time consuming. It does moisturize once it is absorbed. The product is supposed to absorb 500 times its weight in water but it doesn’t seem to live up to that claim anymore. I was very happy with the results I had obtained using Dermabase for many years but I’m not as impressed with the new product but will continue to use it as it still is a good moisturizer.
