Surgeon's Skin Secret Beeswax Moisturizer .78oz. Twist-Up Stick (3 Pack) - Unscented

From time to time, I have a problem with dry, cracking skin in my heels. Using a pumice stone did not help so my wife told me to try some Surgeons Skin Secret. I rubbed some on my heels and then put on my tennis socks. A couple of applications and my heels felt soft and I was no longer embarrassed at their appearance.

I've used Surgeon's Skin Secret for years to prevent chapped lips. Moisture, especially licking the lips, causes lip chapping, and this product locks in the natural oils while forming a protective layer on the delicate skin of the lips. The product's denseness offers better protection that lasts longer than the usual lip balm products.I first heard about SSS on a TV shopping channel and purchased it in the small jars before the twist-up was available.The last purchase, the twist-up version was the only one available and it seemed that version would be fine for direct application to lips.Alas, not only did it not apply easily, it soon began to develop spots of various colors that appeared to be mold and had to be discarded with most of the product unused.Perhaps it may be worth considering producing a little softer, perhaps flavored, version for use on the lips, similar to the size of, yet superior to, chap-stick.In the meantime, I'm going back to the 1-ounce jars, (which I give 5 stars) now thankfully available again. Just wash hands and with the top side of the fingernail, scrape a very small bit off the top, and apply.

I had to laugh when I saw the review that said it smells like an old shoe. It does! It doesn't matter what scent you choose this noxious smell comes through. Beeswax does not smell like that so i wonder if it is the lanolin. There's no need for lanolin because beeswax softens and protects and heals.I chose the tube style because it is handy when i just want to soften my knuckles but leave my hands dry.It is a little sticky at first but rubs in well and is not greasy. I have tried other products but have returned to this one because it works.

I even use it on my lips. I'm always losing the small tubes. This works better than anything else I've tried.

I really WANT to like these. But they’re not nearly as moisturizing as one would expect. I’ve used other products where I can apply them at night and wake up feeling smooth. With this, it’s like I haven’t moisturized at all.

A little goes a long way with this! Great for skin cracks and dry, irritated skin. There's no smell and it's a great value for the money.

I work at a funeral home and am constantly washing my hands which makes them chap and crack. I use this product almost every night. It actually helps heal cracks and the scent is not overpowering. I have used the product for several years and wouldn't be without it.

With the increase of hand washing due to COVID and the cold weather, my fingers started to crack and bleed. It hurt and was annoying. I wanted an ointment that would heal it but not leave me greasy. Surgeon's skin did the trick. It healed my cracks quickly and softened my hands! The only negative is that it is pretty expensive, but a little goes a long way. As long as you use it in smaller areas (not a moisturizer for legs) it lasts forever. My son also gets really chapped lips, where they peel and bleed. We just put a little on our finger and rub it on his lips before bed and he wakes up as good as new. He calls it hand chapstick because it looks and feels exactly like a tube of chapstick. Truly amazing!
