I absolutely LOVE this lip balm. I have always had dry, cracked lips no matter the season or weather, and this has cured them. I've been using it for several weeks and notice a HUGE difference in my lips. Before I wasn't able to put on lipstick without the pigment catching on certain areas or my lips, but this is definitely not a problem anymore. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a good, decently priced lip balm, guy or girl.

This my favorite lip balm. I have the black tea and blackberry one, and the smell is mouthwatering. The ingredients include shea butter, green tea/ fruit extracts and vitamin e. Good stuff. There is no black tea or blackberry in the ingredients, but it smells like its name anyway. Only thing I don't like is the look of the packaging, because it is for men and I like girly stuff, but that's hardly something even worth mentioning. Oh, and it is SPF 25. Where could you go wrong?

This is my fiance's lip balm and I absolutely love the smell. I use it whenever I can get my hands on it. He has other Jack Black products and I find them all very good - face washes, moisturizers - they smell great and not too masculine.

Overall, I'm giving this product a 5, and along with Clinique Superbalm and Malin + Goetz Mojito Lip Moisturiser, it forms a set of my HG, trusted lip balms. It makes my lips so soft, and if I use it at night, I wake up with soft, plump lips. I've tried three so far - Mint, Grapefruit and Ginger, and Black Tea and Blackberry. However, I would NOT recommend the Mint variety, as I found it irritated my lips and made them feel dry (menthol is an irritant). My favourite so far is the Grapefruit and Ginger one, although the taste is a bit strong. The Black Tea and Blackberry variety oddly doesn't contain either of those ingredients, but rather Blackcurrant and Green Tea extract! The smell is a bit too fresh and artificial melon-like for me, so I won't be repurchasing it. I'm looking forward to trying the Lemon one next. It's great to find a balm with such high SPF too.

I am sooo sad that this product did not work for me! After the raves from temptalia and xsparkage and others, I went out to search for it high and low (hard to find in london). When I found it in a pharmacy, I got excited and bought two lipbalms at £7.50 each. Biggest mistake!
I dont have sensitive skin but this lipbalm dried my lips out after a few minutes of applying it. I thought maybe it was absorbing into my lips and its gna feel better but eventually I was reapplying every 15 minutes. I should have stopped using it there and then but I really believed it would be a HG worthy lipbalm. That night, my lips went sooo dry and painful and sore nothing would heal it (not even my trusty carmex). The next morning my lips were bright red, cracked and the skin around my lips started flaking. It looked rough and cakey especially on my cupids now and mouth.
After at least a week of drenching my lips in vaseline and carmex, there was signs of recovery. Have such a fear of this lipbalm and I have put it away.
Have lost the receipt so cant even take the unopened and sealed one back.

I got this in Natural Mint and, as others have mentioned, the flavoring is really strong. This has has a menthol quality and tingles for a while after applications, similar to the way some Burt's Bees lip products tingle only more so. I found this pleasant, and don't mind the flavor. Avoid if you are sensitive to things smelling a little medicinal.
The consistency is very similar to Carmex, I think, a little more viscous than something like Kiehl's lip balm, absorbs into the lips better than something like Vaseline/petroleum jelly.
While I finished the tube and was satisfied with the performance of this treatment (I think it was more a protectant than a treatment) for the price, I think this would be more appropriately priced at around $5. I would not repurchase as would rather try different products with the hope that they would be superior. I found using Elizabeth Arden's 8 hour skin protectant (just using it on the lips), to be the best of this type of lip treatment (this consistency of product), and high quality shea butters absorb better than something like this.

I love this! Better than aquaphor and fresh lip balm. Not too sticky and it moisturizes my lip better than anything!! I think it's kind of pricey but I love it.

Total HG lip product! After searching literally years for something that would help my year-round chronically dry lips, this is it! I have spent more money buying both tons of crap cheaper products and more expensive lip products that had big claims but did absolutely nothing (Fresh Lip Treatments, I'm looking at you). This product is minty, feels cooling and refreshing going on, soothes dry and chapped lips, and has a convenient squeeze tube to get every last drop out. Best of all, the moisture LASTS! It isn't one of those that feels nicely going on and then fades away minutes later. I LOVE THIS! It is a bit expensive but with these benefits, I will gladly pay that price for this again and again!

So far in my lip balm career, this is the best that I've come across. I picked up the "Natural Mint" flavor at Ulta a few weeks ago for about $7.00, and fell in love the moment I put it on. The packaging made me expect expensive Carmex, but instead I got a dose of all that is right with the world. For about four hours, my lips feel completely protected and moisturized; without being at all sticky, goopy, or slippery. A stick or lipgloss like packaging would more convenient than the squeeze tube it comes in, but the packaging is a minor detail for me. This is definitely a product that I'll be buying in the future, and has drawn my attention to the Jack Black brand.

BEWARE!
The active ingredient Avobenzone is photounstable in the presence of Octinoxate alone. This means the sunscreen molecules that protect your skin are damaged by sunlight themselves. As a result, the sunscreen becomes less protective. A stabilizing agent can help significantly slow down this process. But the Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25 does not employ such a stabilizer.
Honestly, if Jack Black lacks this basic knowledge about sunscreens, I feel I can't trust any of their products.

Love this lip balm! It's thick so a little goes a long way and it lasts for ages. My lips suck up the moisture and feel so much better after only a few minutes. It's great on it's own or worn under a lipstick and I love the packaging - it's such a pretty dark blue and yet it's just see through enough so you can see how much product is left if you hold it up to a light. Although it's pricier than Carmex, which I was using, it's much better and lasts longer and it's not nearly as expensive as some lip balms it's way better than - such as La Mer. Great product.

This is my HG lip balm! It makes my dry lips moisturized and keeps them that way after the product has been worn away. I feel like most lip balms keep your lips moisturized while you are wearing the product but return to a dry state after the lip balm has worn off. This one keeps my lips conditioned long after the lip balm is gone. Although they are a bit expensive, the last a long time because you use such a small amount only two or three times a day. I've had the same tube since July and now I'm 2/3 of the way through. I recommend this to anyone who is constantly applying lip balm. This stuff really works!

I purchased the Black Tea and Blackberry. I really like this lip balm. It is super moisturizing and seems to last a good while - even through drinking and eating. It is rather expensive considering the small amount of product you get for the price.

I really wanted to love this, but I'm somehow allergic. I bought the Original Mint flavor and loved how moisterizing and long lasting it was, but with prolonged use my lips develop small red bumps, started burning and began to swell. The first time it happened I discontinued use, although, hoping deep down it was unrelated to the product. My lips cleared up and I started using it again only for the same thing to happen.
I've since given it to my Father (crazy huh!?) who has been complaining of no lip balms soothing his chapped lips. He loves it! I've since orderd him a new tube.
I'm not sure if I'm allergic to ingidients in the Natural Mint alone or if I would react to the other flavors. I'm a little scared to try. Blistex still owns my heart.

This is a really good lip balm with amazing ingredients, plus it has sunscreen as an added bonus! The squeeze tube makes application quick, easy and most of all hygenic. I do feel the tube could be a bit bigger for the price though.

Jack Black makes my lips really buttery soft and smooth, without having to reapply frequently. However, I feel the flavours are overall a bit too strong.

The first flavour I tried was the Natural Mint, because that was the only one I could track down at the time. This is not available in my country, so I really had to hunt for it online. The mint is sooo over the top in this one! It is the first ingredient listed, so this means there is even more mint than shea butter! The mint is so strong that it made my lips actually sting a little bit, no gentle tingling here. Then they went kind of numb! The taste lingered on my lips and in my mouth for quite a while too. Somehow this one also seems to disappear from my lips a lot faster than the other flavours I have tried so far. Weird. I would give the Natural Mint 3 stars and would not purchase this again.

Blackberry & Black Tea is my favourite so far. It is very fruity, true, but I can also really smell and taste the black tea in this, which I was not really expecting. It's a very unique taste and tart tea balances out the sweetness of the blackberry very well. This stays on my lips for ages, but loses it's taste after about a half hour, which I'm fine with. 5 Stars and I will definitely buy this one again!

Lavender & Vanilla is the worst! Even though I like lavender the flavour is so strong in this lip balm that I feel like I have bitten into an herb shrub. There is no hint of vanilla whatsoever. The taste is very reminiscent of thyme and rosmary as well. When I used this at night I still had a layer of this on my lips when I woke up the next day and that really strong kitchen herb taste in my mouth. It didn't seem to have sunk into my lips at all. Not nice. 2 Stars and I would never buy this again. Not sure if I can actually manage to get through the tube.

I'm still looking forward to trying the other flavours, even though I have had such mixed experiences so far. I wish the unflavoured Shea Butter & Vitamin E were available online somewhere! I have only seen it in the Balm Squad though and I already own two of the four flavours in the set, so not sure it is worth getting just for that. I don't really need to have a flavour to my lip balm, as long as it does its job. So I'm thinking, given how strong all of the flavours seem to be, I might really enjoy the unflavoured one more. continued >>

This is a really really good balm. I personally feel that it works better as a precautionary balm, rather than something that heals chapped lips, but it definitely moisturizes and protects. The scents/flavors are are unique, my favorites are probably the mint, the lemon camomile, and the mango mandarin since they are both smooth and refreshing. It has a good consistency, and I really like the squeeze tube with slated tip, it makes application easy on the go.

I liked this lip balm at first when I smelled it, but I hated it the second it got on my lips.
It felt waxy and gross like most products that has lanolin do. The smell was good at first, but it smells way too sweet, an almost gross candy smell.
I had really high hopes as this balm has tons of good reviews here, but it just didn't work for me.

This is a great lip balm, it is very moisturizing without being sticky and yummy without tasting like chemicals when it gets in your mouth - yes, I'm one of those people who wear lipstick on their teeth:) It feels unbelievably rich for a product with such high SPF.

Excellent product. As a lipbalm snob, I am generally skeptical about faddish products, but this does not disappoint one bit. I got it in the natural mint flavour, and was delighted at how it immediately soothed my winter-ravaged lips and lent a rosy tint and tingling sensation. Hours later, my lips are still moisturised and I don't feel the urge to reapply obsessively. I am already dreading running out of this as it's not available where I live, and am scheming for ways to have this brought back to me!

I picked this up at sephora because I had heard wonderful things and it was super inexpensive. I got it in the Black Tea & Blackberry flavor though, to be honest it was just because I wasn't looking and didn't realize there were other flavors, but it smells SO good. It is very moisturizing and has really great, natural ingredients AND spf 25 which is incredible. I often wear this just on it's own because I find it makes my lips look really full and moisturized, or underneath another lip color. I bought one for my mom and friend as well and they both love it as well. continued >>
