Petrolatum is what makes this work. It holds moisture in so cracked skin can actually recover, and the glycerin underneath keeps it from being only grease.

The Edyt Score
4.4 / 5.0
This is a great product if you have split heels, winter knuckles, or a lip that keeps cracking. Too heavy to use as a regular face cream.
No fragrance, and it feels greasy on purpose. It will get on pillowcases if you put it on right before bed.
The verdict
Keep it on hand for the days skin actually splits. You will ignore the tube the rest of the time, and that is fine.
