Lucas Papaw Ointment 15g Tube with Lip Applicator — Fermented Papaya Lip Balm for Dry, Chapped Lips, Purse-Size Skin Ointment, Made in Australia

I have extremely dry lips no matter how much water I drink, especially during the winter and I saw Alicia Keys endorsing this so I thought why not. The consistency is like vaseline or a salve but it doesn't soak in as fast as petroleum. It stays, soaks in, and keeps my lips moisturized for longer which I like. I assume the "Carica papaya" & "fresh fermented fruit" are what allows this to be good for "minor burns and skulls, sunburn, gravel rash, cuts and minor open wounds, insect bites, splinters and Nappy rash". Only 3 days in but I like it better than what I was using; petroleum jelly and homemade salves.

This is an amazing product, what I was disappointed about was they down sized the packaging which makes the contents a lot less and price higher. The product is still super good, it does it all I’d recommend if you can buying two tubes for future use

Always in my purse. Very effective with insect bites too

It smells and feels amazing, and it has a cute shine. It stays on for I'd say an hour or two after applying but it always leaves my lips feeling moisturized. It runs out quickly, probably because it's a small container, but also because I'm constantly using it.

I have found this to reallly help my contstantly flaky lips. It does not have a shine or flavor, has pretty good staying power and moisturizing effect. I will add that the first few times i used it, the product must have separated a bit because it went on very thin, oily and shiny. I had my doubts, but after i got past that little amount, it changed into more of an ointment consistency and I ended up liking it a lot. Will buy again!

I do use this on my lips and it keeps them super soft. I use it as a night treatment when my lips are dry. I wake up with lose skin that wipes off to reveal smooth lips. It is a little gross but it works. I apply a little on my lips on windy or dry days to keep them moist. BUT that is not the only thing this is good for. I always have it in my bag because of all it can do. If you get a bug bite or develop a random hive it will stop the itching and for some people reduced and prevents swelling. If you get a mild burn and apply this the pain soon subsides. Continue applying it a few times a day and it will heal beautifully. Apply this on a minor scrape or scratch and it aides in healing them. Just DO NOT over saturate any area that has been wounded. It works on diaper rash and it works on sunburns too. This is great for preventing friction burns and rashes. I am a curvy girl so when I wear skirts my thighs rub. The friction causes a burn that is painful. I rub a slightly thick layer and there is no burn. I had 6 hours before I needed to reapply the papaw. If I get an infected pimple it reduces the infection. If I pop a pimple I apply this to prevent infection. When I have frizzy hair I use a little of this to tame the fly aways. I use it on dry skin patches on my face and hands. I love this stuff I am never without it! I recommend it to everyone because it is like a beauty and health all-in-one. I have had quite a few people buy it after trying just a little bit of it. It is like a miracle in a tube. My friend is currently using it for her sons eczema. Nothing the doctor prescribed was bringing him relief and his skin was cracking badly. She says it has improved after using this. Papaw is thick like Vaseline and goes on greasy but it gets absorbed completely after a little while. Unless you over saturate in which the area will remain greasy. It has a mild smell that most people do not notice. Give it a try I am sure you will love it too if you give it a chance.

My son absolutely loves playing in water and in the Winter. No matter how much lotion I try to slather on him, his hands get dry and peel almost to the point of cracking. I tried a variety of things from store bought lotions, expeller pressed oils, moisturizing gloves, fancy organic boutique lotions to just plain old vaseline and nothing did the trick. I bought this paw paw ointment on a whim after some research and applied this to his hands after he went to sleep (it's quite thick and has a lingering slick feel as you'd expect). In three days the peeling had cleared and he was able to play in water without any ill effect after only applying it at night! We didn't change anything or turn on a humidifier. I, personally, get dermatitis in really weird places. On the inner corner of my eye, a spot near my ear, a spot on my ring finger, it just pops up! The inner corners of my eyes especially bothered me because it was peeling and flaking constantly. I looked as if I hadn't washed my face and still had eye crusties, it drove me nuts and looked terrible! I'd get it wet, rub the dead skin off and moisturize with various extremely gentle things (since it was unavoidable I'd get some in my eye) but no matter what the flakes came back. Prematurely removing the skin led it to be sensitive and raw feeling. When this worked for my son I tried some on my eyes and it.actually.worked! I haven't had much of an issue at all and I only apply it once a week or so, not because the flakes have returned-but more of a preventative measure. I use this all over now, my cheeks when they're particularly dry, my lips, my feet, my elbows that used to peel and crack. I finally understand the Dad's obsession in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding". He had his Windex, I have my Lucas' Pawpaw Ointment. I can't speak to its efficacy with scrapes but it does more than I ever expected it to as far as moisturizing/healing other skin issues goes. Thank you to whomever formulated this stuff!

I don’t believe this made any sort of difference for me. I’m assuming I purchased the legitimate product and not a knockoff however it just sort of sat on top of my lips and didn’t repair/heal them. I don’t have severely chapped lips but they do get dry. It stays in a drawer in case of emergencies now but I don’t find myself reaching for it.
