leaves waxy coat that is hard to wash off [SEP] this lotion is unlike any i have ever used it does not absorb but instead forms an almost wax like coat on my skin warm hot water or even mild face wash do not even touch this stuff i need to scrub my face with soap twice to get it off if i do not wash it off i can tell it is still there for days so i guess it does a good job at forming a barrier between your skin and the rest of the world
