Dr. Lipp Original Nipple Balm for Lips - 0.5 oz. Customer Reviews

I've been using Lansinoh on my lips for 12 years -- it's the same product (but marketed to breastfeeding mothers for their nipples). You get 1.4 ounces for about $6-$9 (depending on the store --grocery, Target, WalMart, etc.), instead of this puny 1/2 ounce size for $14. If you want a small size for your purse, just squeeze some into an empty lipgloss pot, put it in the microwave until it melts into liquid; put it in the fridge until it hardens again and -- voila! -- you have the perfect lipbalm/gloss. It's the best thing out there for your lips, hands down. I swear by it and would never use anything else.

I've tried so many lip balms and glosses, and have my favorites already, so I was not excited to receive this in my box. However, after trying it a few times, it really grew on me. It's super thick you squeeze it and it comes out as an almost solid tube of balm, that's almost too solid to spread. As it warms, it spreads more easily. What I love about it, is that this thickness makes it last. I've started to use it at bedtime, after putting on my moisture mask and eye creams, and it's like a final step of overnight protection for my lips. Especially when I have congestion and I'm breathing through my mouth. I wake up with it still on, my lips protected all night. I'll definitely be buying a full size to replace my sample.

It's great. Really great. I just wish I'd realized that it really is just 100% lanolin which you can totally buy for a LOT cheaper. I've seen it for less than half this price for a bigger tube at target. Really, you are just paying for branding here. Oh well! I like it, I just feel like I got duped.

So, I struggle with CONSTANT peeling lips, so thin or waxy formulas have never really for me. This felt thick, but not waxy, and very rich. My lips felt great while using it. No chemical smell like other glosses either. Definitely recommend.

This product reminded me of Vaseline. I wish it had a better smell

I have enjoyed this sample. It’s very thick and with the midwestern wind it has been welcomed.

I believe this product is keeping my lips from drying overnight; I liked it well enough that I ordered a tinted version for day.

Can’t get over how well this hydrates. I used it when I went skiing, and it was wonderful!

It has the consistency of petroleum jelly and I thought that was what it was. It says it's 100% lanolin. It's sticky like vasoline so I wouldn't use it before applying lipstick. I would stick to a balm for that. This is not a balm, it's a gel.

This is not a product I would purchase or use again. I did not feel it really added anything to my cosmetic routine.
