„I ordered Golden Ointment because I am trying to get rid of as many chemical laden skin products as possible and replace them with as many natural or as close to natural as possible products. I know this ointment is petroleum based but I am alright with that because the products I have in the house now contain far worse ingredients than petroleum. The box that the ointment comes in isn't very special or impressive and neither is the small plastic jar with the green twist off lid. However, the ointment is amazing so don't be put off by the packaging. The ointment is petroleum based so it is fairly thick and it does have a faint odor. I didn't find the odor offensive and it dissipated quickly. I don't usually put heavy creams or ointments on my face because I have very sensitive skin in general. I decided to use the ointment on the acne spots I have on my jaw line and my neck. A little dab of ointment goes a long way. I rubbed it in and it was greasy for a very short time and then it was completely absorbed. Im in my late 30s and now when I get a pimple or acne flare up, those areas stay red after they clear up or they turn brown and look like freckles. I don't appreciate either of those options so I started using Golden Ointment on those areas during a breakout and about a week after the breakout. The duration of that breakout was cut almost in half when using this. I usually have some sort of lingering acne flare and I didn't have that when I used this ointment. I am also amazed at how the spots are hardly visible now AND not one area or pimple turned into a brown spot. I will definitely continue to use this one my breakouts and even the residual spots from prior and future breakouts. I also used this on my 2.5 year old daughter who had bug bites on the back of her neck right along her hair line. She was picking and scratching and going crazy so I applied a small amount of ointment on the red areas and the bites themselves. She had some relief immediately but was still itchy. I was able to distract her and then I reapplied to the bites again before bedtime. The next morning her hairline looked so much better; the redness was gone and the bites were weeping. It appeared that the Golden ointment drew out the chemicals (mosquito or chigger saliva? I don't know what causes the itch but the ointment drew it out) from the bug bites and they were ready to start healing. I cleaned them up and reapplied. I did that for about a week, even after the itch was gone so that the ointment to help the bites themselves heal. It worked wonderfully and my daughter was very eager and willing to let me apply it to her boo boos because it didn't hurt. One thing that was a pain is that the ointment IS petroleum based so it left her hair greasy in the back. However, that is a small price to pay for what this ointment can do. It does so many things. It helps with the treatment of skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, acne, pimples, boils, ulcers, rosacea, dermatitis, skin rash, diaper rash, wrinkles, fine lines, minor injuries, itchy skin, etc. Its also hypoallergenic and is safe for all ages and skin types. Anyone of any age can use this ointment. Golden Ointment can also be used on its own as an eye cream, anti aging cream or anti wrinkle cream OR it can be added to your other skin care products to aid in deeper penetration and efficacy. Its also allergen free, metal free and cruelty free. This ointment has so many uses, I can't even count them or list them all. Some uses are: acne cream, anti aging moisturizer, eye wrinkle cream, hand lotion, anti itch cream, dermatitis cream, diaper rash cream, eczema cream, dry skin lotion, lotions for women, men face lotion, psoriasis cream, an ointment for burns, rosacea cream, wrinkle cream, stretch mark cream, and on and on. I did use it on a fly bite on my dog and the healing time was reduced and he stopped trying scratch it so I believe it provided relief to my dog. I am definitely a fan of this ointment and I am glad that I was given the opportunity to try it. I received Golden Ointment for Skin Care at a discounted price in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion. This ointment is a winner. I am a real person and the opinions and experiences described in my review are my own. I was not swayed by the discount I received. I truly believe this is a great product and I think everyone should have it on hand.“
