I have extremely dry lips, and they sometimes peel a bit.

This lip oil keeps my lips soft from night to morning, and it's extremely occlusive and moisturizing. To apply it, I drink some water first, making sure to leave water on my lips, then use the lip oil.

Some people might find it sticky. My lips are so dry I don't mind it at all, and the slight stickiness goes away in a few hours.

I use it everyday at night, and use more hydrating products underneath (numbuzin deep sleep no.6 + a good moisturizer) when I know I will go out the next day and use a drying, matte lip product.

I find it a bit unnecessary to have if you can use vaseline to be honest. In my case, vaseline does not work for me, so I use this. I might try aquaphor next, still.

For now, this works really well and I'm not interested in changing it.

Only downside is that I think it's too little product, but it's really cheap, so I might just buy in bulk.
