This is the best lip balm ever. Using it once before bed keeps my lips soft and hydrated for hours and hours, minimising my daytime lip balm use, if I skip it for a few days I'm more likely to get peeling lips. I always stock up when I or my family or friends go to the USA.

Pro tip: cut open the tube when you think it's finished. I have used a cut-open tube since September 2023 (it's now March 2024) and there is PLENTY left. Shout out to Tana Mongeau for introducing me to this.

Best lip balm so far
My lips are always dry and cracked. Plus, I tend to bite them and leave them in an even sorrier state. This is the best lip balm I've found in my 29 years of existence. It's the most hydrating and scarring I've seen, and it's been up to the challenge. Love the refreshing feel it leaves too.
