This comes in a squeeze tube with a flip-tab lid. The balm is a rich opaque white with a lotiony-balmy consistency. I might keep this as hand cream or during the dry winter periods. I think I'll use it as my post-laser cream. Not sure if I'll buy it again. From my experience, I would recommend using the balm at the evening prior to bed instead of the day. I would use it as a night cream and bring it over my lips too. I also loved it on my hands, elbows and knees to help soften those areas.
