Pretty much every world reknown makeup artist and french beauty francophile has this product. A non greasy matte homeopathic ointment that makes lackluster skin into hydrated glowing skin and transforms dry flaky lips into soft kissable lips. According to Gwyneth Paltrow: Meant for skin irritations it s also a life-saver when it comes to dry winter-ravaged skin. According to Beauty Banter: Okay tried and tested and I m obsessed. Basically Homeoplasmine is the French version of our Elizabeth Arden s 8 Hour Cream and Japan s Yu-Be. It s a multi-purpose ointment that soothes protects and moisturizes the skin. A little bit like Aquafor sans the sheen and more natural. What I love about this stuff is that it s not at all greasy like 8-Hour cream. In fact it kind of has an au naturel matte finish. And it is KILLER for dry lips literally reattaching the flakey skin and filling in the cracks for hydration without the sheen. Perfect to use prior to makeup for a smooth silky palette. So great for all flaky dry areas including sun or wind burn. A little goes a long way and the ointment penetrates for hours. .
