Yes, I can vouch for ilex paste.
By far the best product to completely heal sore, raw, broken, inflamed and weeping skin around the Stoma.
I used it and within 3 days there was a vast improvement, within 5 days or there abouts, the skin around my Stoma had completely healed.
I still use it as a preventative measure as I don't wish to endure the agony of bile acid eroding my skin ever again...... My only worry now is butt burn after takedown, although I believe and pray (figure of speech) that ilex paste is just as effective for that too.
I had my reservations too in regard to adhesion but it adheres and seals very well.
I use a Salts Stoma collar which fits over the Stoma; prior to fitting the collar, I apply a thick bead of ilex paste around the inner edge of the collar then I fit the collar over my Stoma, I hold in position for a few seconds then apply the wafer of a two piece ostomy appliance.

Prior to applying the Stoma collar and once the skin around the Stoma is clean and dry, I also apply the Cavilon barrier solution from a pump spray dispenser, which in my opinion, is much easier to apply than the powders.

The ilex paste will seal and adhere securely to your skin and ostomy appliance; has done for me during the last 5 months and without issues.
