Dear Hopeful
When I use RepHresh, I can only use one tube once in awhile (because I am affected by being sensitive or allergic to a common component of these type products). However the gelling agent (Carbopol) is a powder in its natural form (as a chemist I was a formulator for personal care products and this is a common thickener as it forms a clear gel whereas others do not). So, when the product comes out and is on the outside of the vagina then dries up a bit, this could certainly happen (but I do not notice it as I only use 2 tubes a month - but using a tube every 3 days as recommended - one would end up noticing sooner or later). Another problem with Carbopol is that it can also be tacky which is why it usually isn't used in skincare products and only in haircare products (when used outside the body).
