 Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream

This cream really helps with my skin, especially after i do extractions. Ever since I started using this, i get compliments on how nice and glowly my skin looks. It also helps minimize the appearance of my sebaceous filaments. Ive bought this 4+ times now. Sometimes theres a bad shipment or something and its super watery, you just have to return it and get a different one. I think it happens if its too cold. But dont be turned away if this happens bc this one is worth trying. I also can put it on my eye lids and it soothes my eczema.

I remember years ago I bought this cream at Ulta, and, like everyone else, it separated and oozed liquid; I decided to use it anyways and the cream actually broke me out. Went to Paris a couple years ago, and bought a mini bottle of this just for fun, and it literally transformed my skin!! I use it for everything now. If my skin needs hydration I will slug with it, it heals my perioral dermatitis, if my skin feels a little too raw, it fixes my skin like magic. Don't waste your time and buy it at Ulta. I've attempted to buy it afterwards for years and every tube is sent separated. If you go overseas, get it, that is your best bet, because this cream is worth it!!

Ok I never write reviews but this stuff is amazing. Had a rash appear on my face from an unidentified source (I think it was a new cleanser I tried) and it was pretty horrific. Itching, stinging, burning etc. My skin barrier was wrecked. Picked this up and within a couple days of use there is a HUGE difference. I've mixed it with my moisturizer and also a little hydrocortisone cream and it works like a charm! If you're struggling with some mad irritation, give it a try. Con: not great for acne prone skin, but not surprising for a semi-occulsive cream

Was very excited for this product but when I opened it, it was separated into a thick cream and very watery substance. I tried squeezing and shaking to emulsify the product and have not been able to. Some research says that the product is technically still usable but I don't know that it can be as effective as it should be with that much separation.

Huge mess when opening this. I loved the sample i tried - had no issues with liquid. But when i bought two of the 3.3 oz tubes, both squirted out tons of light blue watery liquid! I couldnt even get to the lotion and when i did, it wasnt anywhere near the consistency of the sample i received. Very disappointed.
