What the gurus are saying

This powder gel earns praise for its powdery, non-greasy finish that glides smoothly without feeling oily or sticky, making it comfortable enough to wear on the face and around delicate areas like the eyelids. Dermatologists note it works as a silicone-based barrier that physically blocks friction all day long, which can help prevent friction-related post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The standout is that it feels moisturized yet powdery rather than slick, so those with sensitivity to heavy or oily products on their face may find it particularly wearable.

"I'm a big fan actually of the Monistat Chafing Relief Powder Gel because it offers similar benefits to a water resistant sunscreen. That's usually what I recommend people use not only under the arms for chafing and irritation, but also in between the thighs. If you have loose skin after weight loss, I really recommend that as well for cutting down on friction and irritation, since a lot of loose skin can lead to intertrigo, skin barrier breakdown, and secondary skin infections. I also suggest it for skin folds when it comes to itch there."

"I really like this product as a skin protectant for the skin folds that's what it's meant for. What is unique about this is the finish. It does provide really a nice amount of glide and slip but it does not feel the least bit oily or greasy at all, not sticky. It really does have this powdery finish to it, almost as if your skin is soft and moisturized but has a powdery finish. I have used it on my face a fair amount and it's really comfortable on the face, again not very greasy. I've used it around my eyes too because eyelid skin is vulnerable to irritation."
