This lip balm is one of Kiehl's best-selling products. At the Little Three store in Taiwan, this lip balm was retailing for US$9.5. This lip balm claims to protect and help relieve chapped/cracked lips. With Vitamin A and E, it helps keep lips healthy. Soothing ingredients such as Squalane, Lanolin and Sweet Almond Oil coat the lips and prevent further drying.
The Pear scent of this lip balm is very distinct. The scent is fruity and sweet, and does not seemed synthetic. The lip balm comes in a squeeze plastic packaging with a twist on and off cap. However, the tip of the product is not angled for easy application. You can use the tip to apply it directly on the lips, but I find that this application to be uneven. You are supposed to squeeze the balm and use your fingers to apply it. However, using your fingers to touch the tip of the product can get unhygienic.
This lip balm has a thick Vaseline-like consistency. It also has a glossy finish. For everyday use, I prefer to use lip balm that does not have a sticky feeling. This lip balm is too glossy/shiny for my liking. It does have sun protection with SPF of 4. But that SPF is not sufficient if you are out all day in the sun. Since it is so glossy/shiny, it does not lasts long. After an hour or so, I would have to re-apply the lip balm. Not a good lip balm to carry around when travelling, because of the frequent need to re-apply.
