Having had very severe acne issues, I was issued an Accutane prescription. One of its numerous side effects were dramatically chapped lips. Regardless of how careful I was to moisturize and hydrate correctly, my lips were only getting drier and more painful as they were cracking as soon as I smiled, yawned and ate.
This lip balm was the first product to actually really, truly, dramatically soothe my dry lips. I simply cannot get over how miraculous it has been on my traumatized lips. Its effect were instant, and while they weren't exactly long lasting during my treatment (as I had to be applying it several times a day), they sure are now that I'm off the prescription and that my lips are healthy again.
Not only were my lips softer, plumper and altogether healthier, they weren't painful anymore. I don't know if the balm itself healed the wounds from my lips cracking, but it definitely soothed the pain. I made sure to apply the balm before each meal so it didn't hurt so much.
I sincerely recommend this product as I have to some friends of mine, one of whom has also done Accutane. She now swears by this balm, even though she's not one to enjoy skincare in general, let alone the expenses they generate... and yet, she and I both find this product worth its price.
My lips gets horribly dry during the winter time. It gets flaky, and it even bleeds. I have tried different moisturizing lip balms but this product is the only one that worked. I use this often and I have a backup stash of this product.
Another tip* I also use these product to some of the driest areas of my skin such as cuticles, and heel.
