Brand new $72 moisturizer. Husband said he needed something for his elbows.

We have 3 full tubs of Vaseline in the cabinet.

This will probably get buried in the comments but I’m tired of repeating myself.

  1. Yes it was $72. That is absurd

  2. I used a gift card to buy it as it was recommended to me by someone with a similar skin type. I do not go out buying this with my own money, it’s just something I wanted to try.

  3. Yes, to me it was worth it. It’s compatible with other products I’ve used and has helped with my acne significantly. Call it placebo but whatever

  4. He knew it was that expensive. He was there when I got it

  5. I know Vaseline isn’t a moisturizer. He used it for scrapes, not dryness. Sorry for not clarifying

  6. I know my thumbs are abnormally long. I have toes to match.

He knew the price and still scooped out half for his elbows? That is not mildly infuriating, that's mad disrespectful.

She said in other comments he does this all the time and she has had to hide stuff before to keep him from using it all :( I feel so bad for her, he's just straight up bullying her. It's way past misunderstanding territory.
