A weekend at a festival in the sunshine had my lips in tatters despite using other well known brand lip balms and spf regularly and trying to keep hydrated.
My lips were left peeling and so painful. I ordered this on the recommendation of a friend and so glad I did. Ive previously used the foot and hand creams and been impressed with them.
From the first application of the lip repair there was instant relief. Within a couple of days my previously crusty lips were back to normal. I now use this regularly and won’t ever be without it again. The best by far!
Brought as my lips were getting really cracked and painful during the winter temperatures. I have used the o’Keefes hand cream for a few years so knew the brand works and was really happy with the outcome of the chapstick
Amazing product, cannot fault anything.
I was a bit sceptical when I read some reviews stating that you have to warm it up a bit first before using or it won’t go on right, but it’s not the case for me, leaves a lovely thick (but not too much) barrier protecting the lips, when sore from the cold/wind it soothes quite quickly, it is hydrating, leaves no white cast on the lips, it even tastes nice!
It has a good amount of product and the shape of the container makes it less bulky sort of?
I adore it and will me repurchasing when it runs out 🙂
I suffer with eczema and constant dry lips. I’ve used loads of different products over the years but this is the one. After using it for one week (probably applied it 2-3 times a day), my lips are feeling healthy and moisturised. Now using it 1-2 times a day. Great product.
Having tried Burt’s Bees, which seems to sit only on the lips and doesn’t do much in absorbing or moisturising and applying it constantly every few hours became tedious though I like some of their products, just not that.
I’m not sure If anyone is aware of or has had “Invisalign”, a series of removable aligners. After treatment, I need to wear a removable clear retainer nightly to maintain achieved results. I have the most issues at this time as my teeth and gums don’t touch the gums when wearing this, ultimately drying the outer lips the most, even after a short period. I came across this purely as it had one of the best reviews out of numerous others. I wasn’t aware O’Keeffe done lip balms, but I have tried their working hands cream, which is hands down (pun intended) the best hand moisturiser I’ve used to date. Back to the lip balm, here are my thoughts.
Pro:
_____
* It does what it claims to do. Within 5-10 minutes is when I began to see the results or feel any benefit granted, not “immediately”, but 5-10 minutes is better than ineffective.
* The twist mechanism works well and hasn’t shown any issues of malfunctioning.
* The blam doesn’t feel oily or leave a sheen; as a male, I don’t want to look like I’m wearing shiny lip gloss; it becomes matte after a few minutes; it’s undetectable.
* It doesn’t feel heavy and as though it’s just sitting on the lips, creating a barrier. I have put on more than necessary to test; within 5-10 minutes, it seemed as though it was mostly absorbed. That said, for the first few minutes, it does have a tackiness.
* When most brands state “unscented”, they usually still are. From what I can smell is virtually nothing and lives up to its claim.
Con
_____
* It’s not your typical style container. It’s oddly oval-shaped. I have noticed it dips in the centre. It helps if you use the corners to level it back into shape, but this is only temporarily. It’s awkward to use, particularly at the sides of the lips, as it won’t fit without turning the container horizontally at odd angles and the lips themselves, which is bound to be painful if there is already discomfort. Even doing so, it doesn’t sit correctly and becomes concave. If this is mostly your concern area, then sadly, I’d say stick with the tried and tested conventional style.
* I need to reapply multiple times throughout the day as single-use isn’t that effective. Once in the morning, afternoon and evening before wearing my aligners. So it’s not a ONCE application miracle. Therefore the statement in my case isn’t “All day moisture in one use”, isn’t factually correct as the packaging made out to be.
Conclusion
_____
Overall, is it worth all the hype? I’m unsure of a specific answer. It has good points, but equally negative points. Does it work? In my opinion, it does, at least for me. Is it worth the usual price without the offer? I’d disagree with that, but thankfully, the best place to purchase is Amazon if you want a bargain, as it’s cheaper. While it’s good, taking the negatives aside, you can get generic balms for a few pounds that function just as well and in a standard styled container that doesn’t require awkward angles to keep the shape uniform. As gritty as Burts can initially be, it reaches the sides effortlessly; but this balm it’s certainly not a patch on other O’Keefe’s products that I am sure of, and I swear by as they are genuinely fantastic. I can’t see myself repurchasing unless the container is changed (which seems extremely unlikely) as it’s not worth the hassle to use, trying to keep the balm in uniform as much as possible. If the case were standard shaped, this would vastly improve user-friendliness.
