AMAZING lip balm! Yes, yes, it has minimal ingredients but isn't that what everyone is always looking for?! If you'd rather put a bunch of unpronounceable chemicals on your lips then go ahead...haha just kidding.

I'm a HUGE lip balm junkie and this is one of my favorite squeeze-tube lip balms of all time. Not only does it moisturize your lips and keep them from being sunburned, they also give them a nice glossy sheen, as much as an expensive gloss. I love wearing this over my lipstick or before I sleep! <3

The only downside to this product is the applicator ;(

* What it is - A simple petroleum based lip balm with minimal sunscreen
* Cons - There are plenty of other better performing petroleum-based lip balms in stores with better SPF level protection for a fraction of the price of this Kiehl's lip product.
* Verdict - Since this was a gift, it's no lo$$ out of my wallet and I'm glad about that. Needless to say, my HG lip balms are still Blistex and Carmex.

I got this for free from a hotel I stayed at so I can't complain about the price. I like it. But then again I also like my vaseling, and its the same thing.

I went to kiehl's today and got a tube of lip balm since they are doing a promotion on it. I was curious about this product since I was wondering if this could top my HG lipbalm, which is the Nivea strawberry lipbalm. I must say i'm pretty disappoint it in this product. For me, they just fill the tube with vaseline and a bit of sunscreen... The packaging is okay. I would like if they had a slanted opening like some lipbalms or lip glosses but it was just a plain horizontal opening that hurts a bit when you use it to smooth the lipbalm on your lips... Don't waste your money on this... you can get a huge jar of vaseline for the same price and it'll be pretty much the same!

I bought this, and I'm not sure what the big deal about this is. It's a bit overpriced for what it does. I'd rather just buy Rosebud Slave, as its cheaper and does a better job moisturizing.

My lips peel all the time, and i feel like this aggravated the peeling.

This is a great lip balm. My lips get very dry and chapped. I have used many different lip balms (one even costing $62 for a small tube). I haven't been using the lip balm too often lately, but when I was using it religiously for over a week a few times a day, my lips were soft and moisturized. They looked great! It is easy to apply with your finger. It has a nice shine (and smell-- cranberry flavour) and goes great over lipstick to keep lips looking moist. I would really recommend trying this lip balm!

uh, this stuff is nothing more than glorified vaseline. in fact vaseline is actually better for me, as it lasts longer on my lips. not worth the big bucks imo

This stuff is really bad like all the other kiehls stuff. It did nothing for my dry lips, the balm disappeared after a few minutes.

I like the lanolin in this, but that's it. It's frankly just glorified vaseline. It has a somewhat crude oil smell (vaseline) and consistancy but that is about it. It's nothing special and I much rather use my Rosebud Salve or even Bag Balm, which works better on my dry lips than this stuff.

Does nothing for me. Instead of balmy it is greasy and rubs off within 5 minutes of applying. Far from my favorite

It worked just like Chapstick or any cheap drugstore lip treatments. For one tube of this, I can get 5 tubes of Chapstick. It also made me looking like I just binged on fried chicken and forgot to wipe my mouth.

It's made of 90.3% Vaseline. I felt like a sucker for buying this crappy lip balm.

Kiehl's must be making a killing off of this product.

I have this in the Mango flavor/scent. Nothing makes my lips as soft and conditioned as this does. I honestly think it looks really sexy on it's own as it is a little glossy but not "scare the boys away" kind of sticky. It only takes a dab and your lips feel so smooth and comfortable. It wears off somewhat quickly (it sinks into your lips) but leaves them hydrated. This takes superiority to all other lip products and is always within reach.
UPDATE: I find it hard to live my life without this product. I accidentally left this at home one day and although I had other lip products with me, I was distraught without this product by my side. I really notice a difference when I use this over any other lip balm. This is such an essential item to me now and I don't see how I could ever stop using this.

I've been using it for years and currently on my 4th or 5th tube. Absolutely love the moisture it gives me. I carry it with me in my bag everywhere. I use to apply it every night before I go to bed but my lips recovered now so I just use it whenever I need to.

It can be runny under warm weather so application can become a bit messy. The tube design is better than a jar but sometimes when I squeeze it too hard, too much would come out. I find it to be pretty cost effective as one tube can go a long way. Although I know the main ingredient is petroleum, I prefer this one over Vaseline. I have both and I think vaseline is a better overnight treatment. But no matter how light i apply Vaseline, i always made it a mess. So this one is definitely my go to lip balm

I received a full sized tube of this lip balm at the opening of one of Kiehl's stores. At first, I thought it was simply an expensive, glorified version of Vaseline but immediately felt in love with it after the first use. My lips tend to chap and peel very easily and since using this, there is absolutely no chapping whatsoever. I only use it at night though because it makes the lips look very shiny (like I ate something very oily and didn't clean my lips! LOL)

A definite repurchase once it runs out. And very possibly a HG product for me.

I use this everyday as my luxury item for going out. The moisture stays for hours post-application, and a tube lasts for months. Given as such, I think the price is justifiable.

The simple packaging is also a nice change compared to other varieties out there.

HG nighttime treatment! I use this everyday before bed and wake up with soft, moisturized lips! Love it. I don't like using this during the day because it feels too greasy. But as a nighttime lip balm, this is excellent.

I wish the packaging can be more convenient tho (I use my finger to apply this to my lips)

I love this as a lip treatment! moisturizes my dry lips without creating an annoying waxy film. Perfect for those winter months. Removed one lippie for the smell....

I'm so shocked to see poor reviews. I've used so many lip treatment products, and this one is the best. I never leave home without it. I also like vanilla.
