It's surprisingly difficult to find unscented lip balms suitable for sensitive skin, so I was happy to try this out. Upon application it feels immediately soothing and comforting without being overly greasy, and it is very gentle both on lips and the surrounding skin. I live in Germany and find the price a tad high for what it is, but it's nothing close to as expensive as some of the dollar prices quoted in other reviews...not sure I would recommend this at inflated overseas price points. For those travelling to Europe though, this is definitely worth a try and is a solid product.

Soft nourished lips without feeling claggy!!
Its my holy grail!! I tried the hydraphase riche and was so amazed I decided to try some of the other LR Posay products.
My lips are always dry and peeling.i tried the nuxe miel lipbalm (pot form) and its too thick and claggy sitting on top of the lips and not really doing alot.
This is in a stick form.The packaging is simple but effective and fairly sturdy.The balm is in a white stick form and is clear when applied on the lips.feels like your applying a thin layer of fine oil. I find this a really comforting balm.

This lipbalm is incredible.
Recently, I'd been using a lipbalm from a slightly cheaper pharmacy brand (Ducray) and every time I dabbed the product on my lips, I'd get a whole layer of vaseline-style balm on my lips. I used the tube super fast and it seemed to dry my lips even more after a while.
This is the absolute opposite! It has absolutely no smell and you can build up the amount of product you want on your lips, it slowly melts with the warmth of your skin and the lips don't feel coated and almost suffocated. I had a horrible cold last week and this helped my dried up lips a lot.
I've used it a great number of times and I can barely see the tube getting smaller: also, it's a really long tube, tons of product in it.
I'm not sure how much this costs because I got it free with a moisturiser but I'm sure the price is worth it!

The best lip balm I have ever used. Chronically dry skin everywhere, including my lips... This is the only one I reach for now. Way better than vaseline or anything else I have tried. Ceralip didn't work for me, but this does.

This is not moisturising enough for me. It just sits on top of my lips and/or make them peel. I'd better buy a liposan(=labello/nivea) product. Actually, I could buy two liposan in the price of one LRP nutritic lips. The only thing I really appreciated is that it has no taste.

I love typically love most La Roche Posay skincare products and therefore have been trying their lip treatments as well. I have tried their Ceralips, Nutritic, and their sunscreen lip balms and not have impressed me at all.
This Nutritic lip balm came as a value set with a body lotion I purchased. It's separate purchase price is $14, pretty steep for a drugstore lipbalm. Packaging is the exact same as the Nivea lip balms in the US (twist up).
The balm itself is pretty thin and you really need to apply harder to get the balm on your lips. It feels pretty nice on, but the moisturizing effects fade extremely quickly and I find myself reaching to reapply often.
Pro: No scent, no tacky texture
Con: Expensive, moisturization very short-lived

This isn't the lip balm I reach for on a daily basis, or the one that I'd take with me to a desert island.
I generally like LRP products, but I'm not overly impressed by Nutritic lip balm. It came free, packaged with some other moisturizers. I wouldn't buy it separately.
It feels nice on, has no smell or taste, and is generally pleasant, but I don't find it to be particularly long lasting. There are any number of other, cheaper lip balms that do as good or better job. This is one product I wouldn't spend the extra money on when Burt's Bees, or even the Trader Joe's generic brand, works just as well for me.

My new HG lip balm! This product glides on marvelously and makes my lips feel satiny smooth. I love it under my regular lip gloss. Alone, it is good before going to bed. I have extremely dried and chapped lips, and this product helps them heal faster. Some lip balms melt in the hot Hong Kong summer weather, but this one doesn't spoil. It's pricier than your regular lip balms, but it's definitely worth it.

Ridiculously expensive for the amount that you get (14.50 canadian) but then again I have spent 18$ on a lip gloss before so, guess I can't complain.
I got this after trying multiple drug/health store brands of lip balms, organic lip balms, chap sticks, medicated/unmedicated balms, even pure organic shea butter & shea oil on my lips to relieve the dryness and cracking but nothing worked..
This treatment is amazing. My lips were literally bleeding from having so many cracks, and severely chapped, but once i put this on they immediately had a soft, smooth, uniform appearance whereas every other balm would just sit on top-- this actually seemed to penetrate and do the job. Within 3-4 days the cracks had healed and as long as i apply once a day, there aren't any signs of them returning.
I think it's just the cold canadian winters but as long as they make this i will be repurchasing. Great product. continued >>

I got this in the most recent SkinCareRx Beauty Cache. Having lost my Carmex tube, my staple lip balm, I decided to give this a try since it promised to heal even the driest lips. I have been using it morning and night for about a week and I really like it! It keeps my lips very hydrated and does not have an offensive taste or smell. Its very minimalistic. I think I'll stick with my Carmex when I use this up, but it is a great and hydrating lip balm.

I have always had very dry lips. This is the only lip treatment stick that works really well. I love this product. Thank you la Roche Posay!

By far the best lip balm I know and believe me I know countless of them. Many give only initial relief and worsen the problem of chapped lips in the long run. Many leave a smeary residue or smell strangely. Nutritic doesn`t have such negative effects. The packaging reminds of doctor`s stuff and the stick itself is plain white without noticeable scent and it is really a remedy: if you suffer from sore burning coarse lips simply make a peeling made of honey and sugar and apply Nutritic afterwards. Your lips will feel heavenly soft afterwards and will continue to do so. I generally like RochePosay products and I also tried Ceralip which gets better ratings here but didn`t convince me the least: more expensive, used up faster and drying out instead of hydrating.
Nutritic hydrates without being oily and thus is also an excellent base for lipsticks. I will stick to that stick!

This is hands down the best lip balm I've tried. In the winter I often suffer from horribly cracked lips, especially in the corners, and it's not uncommon for them to bleed due to extreme dryness. Nutritic saved my lips two winters ago, and I've continued to repurchase ever since. I'm currently on my 3rd or 4th tube. It's quite a hard texture, not soft like many balms. I feel it still on my lips hours after applying, and it forms a smooth protective coating. I also love that it's a twist-up tube, and not in a pot, so my I don't have to touch my lips with my fingers (especially during flu season!). This also works well for me under lipstick and gloss.

I really, really wanted this to work for me. I LOVE most of the products in this line and when I read that this was for Severely Chapped Lips I was so excited that I had found the cure. Unfortunately, this took my rough, slightly chapped lips and made them maniacally flakey and even more chapped. It's been over a week since I stopped using it and I still can't fix what this did to me! I did love the packaging because you can apply it directly to your lips. The formula is just awful though.

This truly does transform your lips. I went from using Aquaphor -- about as emollient as you can get -- to this and I like this sooooo much better! The Aquaphor (and the dozen other products I've used in the past) all sit on top of your lips. They moisturize, but as soon as they've rubbed off, you basically need to reapply. Nutritic changed the nature of my dried-out, wintery, perimenopausal lips. I would pay twice as much for this gladly. I use it just twice a day and it works fabulously.

I'm generally a LRP fan and based on the good reviews here, I really..really...really wanted to like this product. Unfortunately it did not live up to its billing. Despite the labeling of "transforming care for dried out lips" it neither transformed my lips nor helped with their dryness. Even though this appears to be a hard balm (lipstick style) it goes on very, very thin. Its so thin and light you can barely feel it on your lips and it seems to evaporate within minutes. I have to swipe it back and forth at least 6 times to be able to actually feel the balm on the surface of my lips. As I said it disappears very quickly (even if your lips don't touch anything) and you're left still feeling dry. I've been using this daily for a month now....my lips are still dry, I see no visible improvements and am tired of the heavy-handed application required. I'm on to trying Lipolevres next!

I bought this on a whim at CVS after trying the LRP Ceralip. While the Ceralip was good, it was kind of hard to apply, and if too much was applied, my lips looked nasty and white, like i had goop oozing out my mouth. I'm black for the record, so it was obvious.
The Nutritic is a very simple applicator, like old school cheapo lipstick. But it's effective. It's clear, and so over application is difficult. Lips immediately feel relieved and smoothed. I've had it two days, and i love it. I'm actually looking to buy a couple more to put on my nightstand, vanity and coffee table. I just wanna have one everywhere.
It's very moisturizing, and does wonders to make chapped lips instantly feel less horrible. I'm gonna come back in a few weeks to update the review.
It's $12 for 0.15 oz. Pricey, but it should last me a good little while, since it's difficult to over apply and waste the product.
UPDATE: 5/19/2008 I still oove this stuff, and have upped it from 4 lippies to 5. I'll definitely repurchase.
