- Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2025For years I’ve struggled with some type of auto immune response where my mouth becomes very inflamed. No doctor has figured it out and I test negative for any allergies. I’ve tried numerous products….some over the counter and some prescribed. My mouth was so red and swollen 2 days ago I could barely stand it. This product came quick! Thank God! After applying, I immediately had some relief. 2 days later and I am 60-70% healed! I highly recommend this product and I plan on keeping a supply always on hand.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2025It does what I need it to do.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2025I liked the product, I've already used it and the result was very good
- Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2025Great for lips that get dry cracked and are susceptible to colds ores. My grandkids use it in the red areas they get from picking their lips. Works great
- Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2025It’s a little like vasoline…shiny on skin…..does what it supposed to do best used at night….better daytime use is lysine and lemon balm with beeswax etc.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2025Very good and healing for skin irritations
- Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2024I absolutely adore this product for my chapped lips and I’ve tried TONS of products. It’s so silky smooth and lasts long!! As a female, I love the high shine gloss effect which makes my lips look amazing. I wear under and/or over lipstick and sometimes I do just a nude liner and this alone, makes my lips look super sultry. Even while kissing it lasts. It smells good too.
EDIT UPDATE: I’ve been using for a couple of weeks, everyday and have no complaints. I’ve literally stopped using my other lip balms which are plentiful. Hands down my first choice. I’ve been pairing with L’Oréal lipgloss in Blissful Blush (#40) & Feathery Fleur (#50) It’s a natural, super high gloss look that gets endless compliments. Perfect for winter weather when lipstick is just too heavy. The balm is outstanding protection from the cold. It has a slight Vaseline consistency but not a thick feeling, more satiny and moist, not tacky. I put on throughout the day as I love it so much but it lasts awhile; I just like the super shiny look so reapply as necessary. I’ve already purchased more as back-up but still have plenty left. Price isn’t cheap but it’s generous amount and will last awhile, even with my constant use. Don’t hesitate to buy. I truly have tried endless lip balms and this is the top choice, thus far.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2025Amazing! Keeps your lips supple and mostly cold sore free.
