    AMAZING for dry, cracked winter skin

    I would absolutely recommend this product for anyone with ongoing dry lips year round and especially for when it's the harsh
    Canadian winter months and you have a raw nose during cold season.
    Great to use as a skin barrier when snowboarding as well.
    I love that it is multifunctional and acts as a polysporin replacement.

    Miracle in a tube

    Love love love this product. I use the term lip balm loosely because I use it for almost every and anything that needs moisturizing. I use it for the lips, for cuts, burns and even as a diaper cream for my baby. The only drawback is it’s not readily sold at the drugstore ( I get mine from amazon) and it’s a bit on the pricier side $11 something for 1 tube. But it’s worth it, to the point I went ahead and bought the big tub. It’s all natural without the side effects of Vaseline (a by product of petroleum, ew).

    My #1 Must Have Item

    I’ve carried a tube of Lucas’ around with me EVERYWHERE ever since I was 11! It’s the first things I request from my family whenever they’re sending things or visiting from Australia. I’ve used it on cuts, burns, rashes, cracked lips, razor burns and every other possibly issue imaginable to man. I also try to keep an unopened tube in my first aid box because you never know when you’re going to need it. I highly recommend trying it out!

    Helps chapped lips, but not worth the hype

    I ordered a tube of Lucas' Papaw after hearing much fanfare about it. So far I have only used it on my lips overnight as a mask. I found that it worked very well - my lips were soft and moisturized with no flaky spots. However, I only gave an average rating for quality and value beacuse I have since read that this ointment is primarily petroleum (96%!!!) with barely any carica papaya in it (4%!!). I'm disappointed to hear this news, because it turns out this tube is basically overpriced Vaseline. I wouldn't buy it again, but I will continue to use it because it does work.

    I've Had Better

    I've heard such amazing things about this product, but for the price and amount you get (and considering that this is actually mostly petrolatum, so it's just glorified Vaseline) you're better off getting Aquaphor. It smells and tastes veeeeeeery faintly of papaya, but is mostly petrolatum. It is fairly effective on dry patches of skin, but no more than any other occlusive ointment product. In fact, sometimes I get a bit of a red/itchy patch reaction from it, not sure if it's the papaya.

    Best ointment in the world!

    I discovered this ointment while in Australia: this is now my go to for any scratch, sunburn, hitch, rash, cuts, mosquito bites, lipbalm, moisturizer. You name it, Lucas' Papaw can probably do it all. Some also swear by it to heal tattoos. Comes in different format (lipbalm, small tube, and tub). This is a must have in any pharmacy, and especially when traveling.

    Best lipbalm ever

    This lipbalm is very good and effective for extremely chapped lips. It's 99% natural considering its made out of fermented fruit. Pharmacist recommended.

    Although I love using this as a lip balm, it has many different benefits. It can relieve minor cuts and burns, moisturize dry skin, soothe a sunburn, fade minor dark spots and scars, you name it! As a lip balm, it leaves my lips feeling super hydrated and silky soft. I sometimes even apply it before bed as an undereye cream and wake up to supple looking skin. Very handy during the winter months when skin can get really dry. It comes in a convenient tube packaging as well as a jar format. I've purchased both and keep the tube in my makeup bag for my lips while I use the jar format for skin issues. The only complaint I have is that so far, I've only been able to purchase this online. It would be great to have it more accessible in stores. I highly recommend purchasing it, as I'm sure you'll find many uses for it.
