Kiehl's Lip Balm, You Disappoint Me
Sure, this formula is packed with Lanolin, Squalane, Wheat Germ Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, and Vitamins A and E to help heals lips. It works--temporarily. There is an immediate soothing effect, but I have found balms that go to work to actually repair my lips. The formula is too thick for my comfort, and the SPF factor is ineffective for protection. Instead of spending $7.00 on a small tube of Kiehl's, why not use Vaseline or Elizabeth Arden's "Eight Hour Cream?"This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 4 people said helpful

Decent Lipbalm
A little bit of this lip balm can go a long way. This Kiehl's Lip Balm #1 is in a tube-like container similar that's to a toothpaste container that I have to squeeze out the yellowish tint product onto my fingers before applying it to my lips. Be sure to squeeze out the tiniest amount, otherwise you're going to end up having to remove the excess with a tissue. After applying this product, my chapp...read moreed lips definitely feel a little smoother. However, it also feels a little greasy. The product is meant to only temporarily protect and help relieve chapped or cracked lips from the drying effects of wind and cold weather. It also recommends applying the product liberally to lips and allowing the excess of the balm to be absorbed. Again, if you're comfortable with a layer of balm on your lips for hours, then try out this lip balm. The product also has SPF 4, which is not strong enough to protect my lips against the harmful rays of the suns, but it's still better than nothing. The active ingredient is petrolatum at ninety percent, which is a skin protectant and octinoxate at one percent, which is a sunscreen. Since the SPF is pretty low, and this product is primarily meant for chapped lips from the wind during the wintertime, this would not be a good lip balm for the summer. The inactive ingredients include squalane, lanolin, triticum vulgare (wheat) germ oil, tocopherol, allantoin, propylparaben, butylparaben, and aloe barbadensis leaf extract. It is on the expensive side for a lip balm, and the smell is not the greatest either. There’s a strong scent when you first apply it, but it doesn’t linger on for too long. In conclusion, this is a relatively decent winter lip balm when your lips get extra chapped.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 6 people said helpful

Gooey
I had this a few years ago. I usually don't throw away a skin care/makeup product, but I remember I tossed it away this one. The smell and taste were nasty, and it was as good as applying a grease on my lips directly. Also I disliked the package. Each time I squeezed, too much gooey stuff came out. I stick with soothing Burt's Bee lip balm or Origins lip remedy.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 6 of 8 people said helpful
