I've bee using the chafing gel for over a week now. I love the way my skin looks , like velvet. I am careful to not apply it too thickly or I noticed it can peel off. So far has not broke my skin out. I can put this on and then add powder and look ready fro a photo.

to add, i bought mine at the dollar store for $1. I went back and bought all they had on the shelf.

I would be hesitant to use it, I think everyone is always trying to find the perfect product and ever since the preparation H fad, we look into over the counter medicines. I really would not recommend it. I had a very hard time finding a good primer so I understand "THE SEARCH" I found and have had great results with a product called retexturizing primer by bee luscious cosmetics. Its all natural and has been very good for my skin. Maybe look into that as an alternative. Thank you for posting its always great to hear everything !

I completely agree with you. I just bought one yesterday, because they're on sale for $3.99 at rite aid. It was cool, but on me it was more of a greasier feeling than my smashbox primer.

I don't know , I don't think I can get over using it for my face..... I mean its for yeast infections though, I guess its all in my head, love using my natural retexturizing primer I got from bee luscious.

it's not for yeast.. it's just for chafting... ppl chaft in a lot of places /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

oh no, this stuff is for areas that tend to rub ( aka ChubRub in the thigh area or under the breasts, in my instance for luggin F cups around lol) but that actual monistat cream is a whole other product. I wouldnt put it on my face either, simply cuz im so damn sensitive lol

 

[starsparkler213]

I'm going to try this tom. It would be so neat if i worked! No more spending 35 dollars on Smashbox!

Definately not for yeast infections. It creates a smooth layer over your skin where your body can tend to rub like your thighs or the inside part of your upper arm or under your boobs sometimes. And it creates a barrier so those places don't get irritated when they rub together.

I think it can help PREVENT another type of yeast infection. Sometimes obese people who have skin that folds over a lot can get a different kind of yeast infection in those folds. From the rubbing i guess or something IDK but I think this stuff helps that, again by creating that barrier. But that's all it does is create a lil smooth barrier, there's no medication in the stuff.

For Canadians out there that can't find it: I found this stuff at Shoppers Drug Mart last night for $10. I'm trying it out today, hope it works!

 

[MamaRocks]

so it's a gel/liquid not a powder?

 

[January]

Yep, it's a clear-like gel. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

They had the Smashbox primer there, and this stuff, and I tried both on the back of each hand, I couldn't tell the difference between the two even after I left it on for awhile.

You know what's weird? I got a little sample a few months back from the website at my old apartment in Cali, and then last week I recieved a full sized bottle here at my parents house. I don't remember requesting it but it's pretty cool that they gave me a free one!! I've been using it and I don't know if I see a difference.... but my makeup itself has been looking better lately anyway.

 

[Bellagigi]

This is the stuff larger legged ladies put on their legs inside their thighs so they don't rub blisters on them. I have even hear of women put it on their arms. I don't use a primer but this stuff sounds like it has the same ingredients. Does anyone know why you would use a primer if you are already applying your day treatment and moisturizer? Is there any benefit to add it to a good skincare routine?

 

[Shellybells82]

So I finally bought a tube. Been using it for a week now and I love it. It makes my makeup appear SO much smoother. Thanks guys! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[Kookie-for-COCO]

I am gonna try it.

 

[rhumbafrapp]

just want to ask, is it available in other countries as well? or only in US?

 

[La Ilusion]

Wow, something new every day...

 

[Kookie-for-COCO]

I thought it sounded crazy but have not liked the other primers I have used. It Cost me $6.59 at Wal-Mart and it is absolutely great!!!!! It is not oily, and makes your skin feel so smooth. My make-up went on like never before and stayed on. I love it. It won me over!!! Just don't wanna get it mixed up with my toothpaste. LOL

 

[Trisha.]

Can this be used with mineral makeup? I know it's probably been asked, but I'm too lazy to check through 21 pages..lol.
