I've always had chopped and dry lips and tried everything. I couldn't wear a lipstick, it looked horrible. Only lip gloss. But this stuff is amazing. Honestly, it's my first review on Amazon and it has to mean something!:) This thing makes your lips soft and moisturized and I might even try wearing lipstick some day! I've been using this balm for a few days, still cautious, but it really makes wonders. I am only writing it, because it's so different. Like nothing else I've been using. It's basically liquid, not a greasy stick, but a plastic container with a little hole at the top.
