really works
this stuff has been a miracle for my chronically dry and chapped lips
impressed
I will be buying this for holiday presents for all my friends and family. I am genuinely impressed. it did not irritate my sensitive skin at all, and when I woke up, my lips were super smooth for days!
works
i have a lip picking habit and due to that the flaky skin on my lips is noticeable even when i put on lipgloss. since ive been using this, the flakiness on my lips is nearly gone, and my lips look smoother and softer.

NO
Was super excited to try this out, woke up the next day with the most drying lips, took days of my lips to go back to being soft and smooth using my normal products.
