I've suffered with severely dry lips for several years now and tried so many different lip balms, lip gloss and vaseline but non last barely an hour before they're bad again. I'd be embarrassed at work and actually LIKED wearing face coverings to hide my hideously flakey cracked lips. Thankfully rarely bled but close enough. So far after just a couple of days, this product has changed my lips exponentially! It doesn't last 8hrs for me but I guessed it wouldn't, but certain around 3-4 pending I don't lick my lips (habit now)/drink or be in cold air for long but even then it barely takes off the affect of this balm unlike previous products. Its slightly greasy but not badly, enough to look like lip gloss. Takes a tiny fraction of product so although small, it will last a while! As the balm is hard, you can scrape some with back of a nail or there are plastic applicator sticks you can get (I have one from another lip balm I was trying).Honestly so worth the money and I can't wait to see further result. Maybe over time I won't need to use it regularly ❤️?Wish I'd done before and after pics but I never thought of that and I'm not letting my lips get that bad again now I have a perfect solution.Do your lips a favour and try it! I'd give it 10 stars if I could!!!!!!!
