Does it work on ointments? i.e. thicker than lotions?

It has to be thick enough so that it won't spill off even if held vertically. The pad does not absorb.

The foam pad is not porous and does not absorb any lotions or ointments put on it. It washes clean pretty easily with soap and water.

I wouldn't see why it would not work. The foam applicator is closed cell and doesn't absorb the lotion. The applicator does take awhile rub in the lotion. More that a hand. The foam pad is about 3"x4". If you're trying to do small spots, you may find it difficult to use and might want to look for a small applicator. If you're doing your whole back, you'll be fine.

No, at least not the one I bought. It could go through a pump I think BUT it's a bit thicker. I just scoop it out with my fingers...it's more a cream than a lotion. It is really nice stuff!

I really don't see why it shouldn't, it works beautifully with every cream or lotion. The sponge doesn't actually absorb, it more or less just holds anything you put on it. It's a fantastic applicator & I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Yes, this is more effective than the regular one. I've said it in my review, i've tried everything (cerave, vaseline, aquaphor) that my kids' doctor suggested and beyond (regular cetaphil, aveeno, weleda, and the baby lotions like johnson 'n johnson), and none works like this one.

I have never used the tape directly on my skin, but that could possibly work. Only way to know for sure is to go ahead and try it. Shouldn't be a problem and might be the solution you are looking for.

I believe night cream (which I have) is thicker. Day cream was probably made thinner to layer with all cosmetic s. I just use very thinly during day.

No, just take a small pinch and roll it in your hands. It softens and turns into a lotion :)

Yes! I used It Works Products , honestly they work better (the wraps) than this because the wraps are more effective . In addiction with using this I'm positive it will boost the results . Using 2 bottles of this will equal the same amnount of results of just 4 wraps so as u can conclude the wraps does work better . But I will use this in addition to wrapping. Probably would wrap overnight and then in the morning I would use this lotion and then wrap again and so on and so forth :) I've lost about 2 1/2 inches and it's been a week using this. When I was using the wraps I lost 5 inches :)

By the way, this product works very well and is very easy to apply. We get much better results with this than others have gotten with much higher priced products. I prefer the spray to the lotion - easier and more effective. Good luck!

Yes! It is supposed to actually make your skin absorb the moisturizer better. Use whatever you like. I put one on with a sunscreen in it.

Yes, it doesn't soak in as much as other body lotion but it works well. I love it and have been using it for years.

Yes, basically think of it as an "extension palm". Most lotion is thick enough that it will stay on until you can apply to back.I bought another applicator at the same time as this one that had rollers and a reservoir you put the lotion in. It didn't really work any better, and then you either had to clean out the reservoir or leave lotion in there (that would eventually get nasty).

It has a watery consistency. It is not thick or viscous at all. The consistency works well under lotion or face cream. All is normal!

What exactly is your question? If you are asking if it will even out your skin tone, my skin tone is pretty uneven and I don't notice a difference in my skin color after using (nor did I expect to) but the lotion overall works fantastically!

Don't count on it. Its just a moisturizing cream. Could be used as a base for compounding topical ointments but I don't believe there is any revitalizing qualities as is.

I would say not. Better used for a thicker liquid ex: hand soap, shampoo, lotion etc. hope this helps.

I have not added it to lotion but I have added it to sprays, deodarants, etc that I make at home. Depending on the lotion it will add a scent but if the lotion has a scent already it may not add as much scent as you think. PLUS it will water it down since it is a water and not an oil. I would add it to a thick fragrence free lotion.
