I bought this before the Medik8 Ultimate Intense Recovery cream. This is thick, oily and very heavy on the skin. This is good if you may have had something more...

  2. HOLY GRAIL

    pihu

    I am INLOVE with this product. I have tried several moisturisers but this repair balm is by far the absolute best. It glides on butter and makes your skin look super smooth, giving you a honey-like glow! If you have a damaged barrier, dry or irritated skin, please get this! Can be used on any parts of the body!
  3. Very rich and hydrating

    Emmalb

    I only use this product over winter, but added into moisturiser it becomes a very good barrier for chilly days or very hydrating for night times. Don't over use it as it is very thick.
  4. Good for certain uses

    Sam

    This is a super thick and oily emollient cream. It's best uses would be for rashes, scabs, eczema etc - wouldn't really suggest for all over face use
  5. So good!

    Dimmy

    I use this in my skincare routine as a moisturiser with the normal skin moisturiser for a good hydration boost. I get redness to my skin and I find this helps calm it down.

  7. Extra hydrating and smells like cucumber!

    Isabella

    Mum suggested this one for me (she LOVES Skinstitut) and I'm so glad I went ahead and bought it. I add a small amount of this to my regular PM moisturiser and my skin feels sooooo hydrated. This is my second tube and I've had so many friends comment that my skin is glowing. The one downside is it does give almost a greasy, wet feel to my moisturiser - similar to slugging with Vaseline, but lighte...

  10. Perfect for post-treatment

    Alyssa

    I use this day and night for 3 to 5 days after skin needling and chemical peels. Helps my skin to recover and makes me look less peely! This is my second tube. I also use this overnight when my skin is feeling especially dehydrated in winter.
  11. Skin saviour

    Angela

    I bought this when going through a particularly bad eczema flare on my face and it was so incredibly soothing. I mixed it in with my normal moisturiser and didn't break out at all. It does have quite a strong smell but it wasn't at all irritating. I use this on my hands as well now when they get dry or cracked.
  12. Covid Mask saver

    Mads

    As the other reviews say, it truly does smell and feel like olive oil. But holy dooly is it doing wonders for my mask wearing skin!! Definitely 1000% recommend for those feeling super tight & dry from wearing a mask all day
  13. Thick and rich

    Linda

    Very think and rich with quite a strong smell. It's great for cracked skin. Good for popping on before bed and I haven't noticed any staining on my pillow.
  14. Creamy

    Tia

    This feels thick and smells like olive oil. It is rich and is good for the night time
  15. rich

    lily

    This is very rich and seals moisture in.
  16. Good for repairing

    Lexie

    I use this balm as part of after care from chemical peels at Laser Clinics. It's a good product to help repair and heal the skin. I personally don't use it except for when I've had treatments done because it's very thick and oily for my already oily skin. Howver it doesn't clog my pores which is great for how thick it is. A good repairing product.
  17. Can't beat it for intense hydration post laser/peel

    Lucy

    I use this after I've had a laser treatment, a skin peel, have overdone it on my retinol, you name it... it is very thick but really soaks into the skin, so excellent for dry skin types that is irritated!
  18. Intense hydration

    N

    I use it at night time after my serum as a hydrating balm to prevent moisture loss. Does not cause flare ups on my acne prone skin despite the thick texture . Has a strong scent to it , but other than that a great night time balm that does what it claims to do.
  19. Enjoyed but didn't love

    Jessie

    Wanted to love this. Used it for my dry nose (living that allergic hay fever life) and it just stung quite a bit. I tried it on my dry patches and it is super hydrating, but I just didn't love it. Does what it says it does, but it's not a life changing product.
  20. Soothing

    Line

    This is a wonderful product. It actually helped to soothe my irritated and sensitive skin! My skin is prone to inflamed and red breakouts and this helped cool and heal those breakouts. I'm very impressed and glad I came across this product.
  21. Intense moisture

    Mish

    If you have accidentally over exfoliated (have now learnt my lesson) this will help as a barrier and rehydrate. It has an odd smell, is oily and appears thick, but spreads easily on the skin. This can be used only when necessary to add hydration back to your skin. I applied this before bed and noticed it does go on the pillowcase. Overall I found it supplied much need hydration!

    I love Skinstitut but this was a let down. I used it for post needling but it doesn't settle in to the skin at all and is just very greasy.

    tanya

    This was great for my dry skin but it only lasted for a few months
  24. moisturises

    Danny

    This is a great balm for dry, dehydrated dull skin
  25. Not a fan

    Sophie

    I bought this before the Medik8 Ultimate Intense Recovery cream. This is thick, oily and very heavy on the skin. This is good if you may have had something more intense or need a lot of moisture from the oils. But for myself I felt it was just too oily and heavy, even though I persisted with it.
  26. Winner

    Linka

    This little guy is the best after harsh treatments or if you're using retinol daily and you need something strenghtening for you skin barrier. Very soothing and rich.
  27. Good Aftercare

    Cindy

    This product is great for the skin after mircos or peels as the skin is needs extra care. It very thick in texture and stays on all day. However, only use when skin needs an extra boost or is very dry as I had breakouts from constant use of it.
  28. Fantastic

    DH

    A beautiful hydrating balm that melted into my skin. Helped with my redness and inflammation
  29. For dry and irritated skin after a treatment - perfection

    Lucy

    This is the best product to use after you've had a skin treatment - it literally pushes all the moisture back in and 'repairs' you skin and also acts as a barrier from any further irritation
  30. Nice after resurfacing treatments.

    Natasha

    The only time i reach for this product is after clinic treatments when my skin is in repair mode. it's too heavy for me normally but lovely after strong grade professional chemical peels. Helps to repair the skin barrier after resurfacing procedures. It can feel a little bit peppery on the skin but that doesn't sensitise me or cause irritation. Way too heavy for day to day use though.
  31. Great for Dry Skin i.e. windburn, winter tightness

    H

    Adds a protective coating to lock in the moisture, very thick so it was great to wear overnight.
  32. Amazing for dry skin!

    Rach

    This product has a balm texture and is incredible for dry skin
  33. Great for dry skin

    Shelly

    I have dry skin and in winter it can become very dry and very visibly flakey. This is great to use as a moisturiser for those super dry periods.

    Cynara

    This is exactly what it says it is, a balm.
    it has a light texture to it, but is of an oily consistancy, i find best used at night after a good cleanse. it really rehydrates my skin without clogging my pores or feeling to thick or heavy. i feel like its a healing balm for my face and just gives it that extra nourishment, i dont use this everyday/night, as i feel you couldnt wear under makeu...

    Aimee

    Such a nice soothing balm that also smells good. I often put this in the corners of my mouth and nose when using harsher products on my face. If I'm ultra dry I will add it to my moisturiser and apply to my entire face/neck.
  39. Soft and soothing

    Taryn

    I have dry skin, particularly after cleansing in the evening. This product delivers on it's promise to soothe and hydrate. This is my must use product after a day at the beach, pool or wind. I apply this in the evening and wake up in the morning with repaired, soothed, skin with no redness. Don't be put off by the fact it is a balm, skin easily absorbs and the product is super-easy to pat into you...

  40. Just as good as others

    Nicki

    This is just as good as REN's Evercalm Balm for a third of the price. My skin drinks it so there's no moisture left by morning, but it's a good option when you need sometjing stronger than a cream to restore some immediate moisture.
  41. My Skin Loves This!

    Renee

    This is an amazing balm to use on my skin for added hydration and after having chemical peels done. It instantly puts back the moisture in my skin, plumping it up and keeping it well hydrated. I like to apply it overnight as a night mask and when I wake I have hydrated, glowy skin! A great product!
  42. Great

    Alice

    I only use this in the winter and this is really good. Sometimes I get lazy and use nothing on my face for days except a cleanser and my skin gets very dry but when I put this on, my skin immediately gets better
  43. Great

    Ali

    This is incredibly moisturising for the winter but it has a yellow greasy texture
  44. Magic

    Age

    I had very dry flakey skin and after my dermabrasion it would only feel worse. This has completely changed my skin in a week. I only use it at night after my cleanse. I have the best glowing skin in the morning. Can be slightly sticky but because I use it at night it doesn’t bother me
  45. Good

    Tia

    This is very helpful during winter and is a really nice balm. Not a fan of the smell though
  46. Keratosis Pilaris

    Narelle

    I really love this! I use it along with Skinstitut's Glycolic Scrub 14%. After using the scrub on my legs and arms for my Keratosis Pilaris, I use this afterwards on the same areas, and find the combination really help calm my skin. I also love the smell, it reminds me of black tea
  47. Saviour

    Yun

    I use this product after my facial peels and it helps a lot. It calms and soothe my skin. Definitely recommend.
  48. Nice product..

    Shannon

    I have recently switched over to the skinstitut range, and was recommended this product for my dry sensitive skin.

    By itself, it is a little too oily for my skin, however I mix this in with my cream moisturiser and it mixes really well and works a treat. It adds more hydration, and seems to make my moisturiser last longer throughout the work day. It also preforms well under makeup.

    Rowie

    I have been using this on my lips in the night time and it seems to work. I will use it over my whole face after my next micro and see how that goes.
  50. Great hydration

    Karly

    I highly recommend using this after chemical face peels. I use it as a night moisturiser or mix a small amount with a daily moisturiser for extra hydration. I have combination problematic skin and it doesn’t make me break out
  51. Exactly what I needed!!!

    Raki

    This awesome product was exactly what I needed to make the other Skinstitute moisturisers a bit stronger! I love this brand but sometimes I feel I need something a bit stronger, so now twice/3 times a week I add this to my other moisturisers: excellent result!!!
  52. Hydration booster

    Danielle

    I was recommended this product after a microdermabrasion treatment to combat dry and dehydrated skin - and wow does it work! My skin felt plump and soft the next day and I use it whenever I feel that my skin needs an extra boost. It’s a little sticky at first when it’s applied but think of it as a leave on mask that just absorbs into your skin.
  53. Great

    Eunice

    Great product to use after getting proffesional treatment.
  54. Works magic

    Madeline

    I took this with me on the plane for a trip down to Melbourne last week. It was horribly windy and cold the whole time and my face dried up! Was glad I had this packed because within minutes of applying it my skin went from dry and flakey to hydrated and soft! It’s great for the emergency kit, and perfect size to keep in your handbag
  55. great ointment repair

    Abbie

    I used to use the weleda skin food moisturiser on my face but now I use this, its less oily feeling and lasts for longer on my skin and has no smell unlike the weleda. Its a good price and a little bit goes a long way, I use it after facial peels or when my skin is irritated or really red and it helps alot.
  56. Just What I Needed for Winter Dryness

    Mary

    Winter was wrecking havoc on my skin and I was searching for an affordable yet effective product. This works amazingly! When the tube arrived it was smaller than I expected. However, the balm is thick so you don't need to use a lot of it so it has lasted me quite a long time. The balm warms up quickly if you rub it between your fingers so then it applies smoothly and evenly. It leaves skin hydrate...

  58. SKIN SAVER

    Emily

    This is perfect for after chemical peels or cosmetic treatments. Locks in moisture all night without being greasy, and doesn't aggravate my skin.
  59. Goodbye dry!

    Mel

    At first, the stickiness and thickness of this repair balm is off putting but you can literally see your skin soak it up within 5 mins leaving my skin looking lovely!
  60. Very hydrated

    Jia

    I have combination skin type. This product is very hydrated. Great for dehydrated skin. I use it during the winter period, add a bit in my moisturiser and my skin feels hydrated for the whole day. Highly recommend.
  61. Hydration is wonderful for winter

    Kathleen

    Hi purchased this product to use over the winter as my skin was feeling so dry. I add a small pea size to my night moisteriser and my skin feels amazing.

    I have also been adding a tiny bit to my day moisteriser and it sits really well under my make up and keeps my skin soft
  62. GREAT

    Georgie

    Great hydration for my skin. I have very sensitive skin particularly in the cold weather so this product has been a lifesaver!
  63. Didnt love it

    Michelle

    I have very sensitive skin, including excema and thought this product would really help. I found it made my skin - mainly my hands - more aggravated when I applied it and it was quite red and irritating. Maybe if my skin wasn't as inflamed it would work better.
  64. perfect for sensitive skin

    Louise

    Great for night time use, leaves my skin hydrated and doesn't set off my sensitive skin.

    Before trying this product, I had tried so many others that claimed to help dry, dehydrated, cracked and sore skin. Unfortunately, none lived up to those claims.

I mix this with my night cream every second night and have had such wonderful results. I will never be without this produ...

    Steph

    Fantastic balm to layer on just before bed. I have ultra dry peely skin and this product really helps to lock in my moisturiser underneath and prevent water loss overnight. My skin looks plump and fresh in the morning. The soft tea-like scent is also very pleasant.
  70. Love it!

    Lulu

    This is my new night cream and i love it! I mix it with the vitamin C product and i honestly think they work magic on my skin. Ive been using for just over a week and i can see the difference - my skin is fresh, bright and glowing. My new night time ritual
  74. Go to product

    Ebony

    As I have dry and dehydrated skin, this is my go to product to get my skin glowing again.

    I usually use it before bed or if i'm having a make-up free day I place it on top of my moisturiser for that extra boost. My skin feels much more hydrated, glowing and bright.

  75. Perfect product

    Sarah

    I sometimes fall asleep with makeup and after cleansing and washing my face in the morning, I apply this product and layer on the skinstitut moisture defence moisturiser on top and after a few hours, my skin looks healthy and youthful again. It also keeps my skin nourished in winter and I have never experienced dryness because of this product. Totally recommend it!

    Caitlin

    Winter left my legs extremely dry so I bought this along with the Skinstitut Glycolic scrub, then mixed the two together and rubbed the mixture onto my legs, and left for 10-15 minutes. After washing off my legs were beautifully smooth, moisturised and less dry and scaly looking. Would recommend.

    The balm is a great add on to my kit. Bought for my mum as well and she loves it as well.

    Kate

    This is my go-to overnight moisturizer. I have very dry skin and i just loves this. It is very thick and heavy, so would dry skin most!

    Davina

  82. Cucumber & lime vaseline?

    Stephen

    I was recommended Skinstitut by an online AdoreBeauty consultant for my 50 year old dry, sensitive & red skin.

    This product is greasy, has a smell & contains alcohol.

    It sits on top of my skin like vaseline and leaves a shiny film all over my face. It does not appear to soak in. Would not recommend using during the day. Leaves a residue on my pillow at night.

  90. Skin Care after Jessner Peel

    I purchased the Repair Balm to use on my skin after a Jessner Peel. After the peel, my skin is dry and tight and this kept it as moist as possible until the old skin peeled off. It is also good for soothing sunburnt skin.

    This balm was used on my skin after receiving an enzymatic micro peel from my beautician and I instantly knew I had to purchase it! My skin has never felt so hydrated, it is a very thick and intense balm so I wouldn't use it every day but a couple of times a week works just fine.

  95. Miracle for my dry skin

    Abbey

    I have dry/flakey skin especially in winter and this balm is a miracle. I use it on problem areas after exfoliation and it really hydrates and clears up these areas allowing me to have smooth makeup application. Would definitely recommend for people with dry skin!
  96. Good for dry patches but not my whole face

    Jessica

    I have sensitive/ dry skin which can be prone to break outs. If I use this on my whole face I will break out but... it’s magic for the dry area on the side of my nostrils (where I am prone to dry, flaky skin) especially during winter!
  97. Don't be quick to judge!

    Amy

    The repair balm has quite a thick consistency and my initial feeling was rather uncomfortable. I even contemplated washing it off but I persevered and soon enough, my skin absorbed it so well that it left me feeling completely refreshed and soft! I would highly recommend this to everyone to use as intense hydration for your skin as it works wonders for mine!
  98. Love this product

    Jo

    Love this product! I have been using it for years. It is quite a thick consistency but I rub this between my hands with some Skinstitut Age Defence SPF50+ and apply to my face during the day and combine it with Dermalogica Ultracalming Serum Concentrate at night. Love it!!

    Kaylah

    Great product for my extremely sensitive and dry skin. It’s super gentle and soothing. Wouldn’t buy anything else.
  100. Nourishing and gentle

    Anna

    My favourite moisturiser for night time. My main concerns with my skin are sundanage and aging. I use this product at night and wake up with my skin feeling moisturised and dewy. A tiny amount goes a long way so it’s great value for money.
