Let me start by saying I was skeptical about rubbing beef fat on my face. But after struggling with winter dryness and sensitive skin reactions to countless products, I gave Ponal's Grass-Fed Beef Tallow Cream a shot - and wow, this jar surprised me!

The texture is what struck me first. Unlike heavy balms that sit on skin, this whipped cream melts in like butter (literally). I use it after showers when my face feels tight, and within minutes it's absorbed without that dreaded greasy film. My makeup glides over it perfectly.

As someone who breaks out easily, I appreciated that it didn't clog pores despite being rich in nutrients. After three weeks, my chronic dry patches around the nose disappeared completely. The subtle natural scent (barely noticeable) was a relief after dealing with overpowering essential oils in other 'natural' products.

Where it really shined? Overnight hydration. I'd wake up with plump, happy skin instead of the usual morning tightness. My husband even stole some for his cracked elbows - now we fight over the jar! Pro tip: A little goes a long way; the 2oz jar lasts ages.

The only con? The price point made me hesitate initially, but considering how little product I use per application and the results, it's become a justified splurge in my skincare routine.
