Qtica Intense Lip Repair Balm - Set of 2 by QTICA Beeswax Smooth Creamy Texture Restorative Lip Gel for Dry, Chapped Lips Instant Hydration, Softness

I have used Qtica balms and lotions for a long time and this lip balm is my favorite. It hydrates my lips through all seasons. I am one of those unlucky people who has gotten cold sores my whole life. The product does not claim to help with cold sores; it seems to have helped with mine. I used to get really bad cold sores several times a year - usually in the winter. Since using this lip balm (ten years+), I get one little bump maybe once a year. I put the balm on once before I go to bed at night and sometimes during the day if I am out in cold air or sun in the summer. It has a mild neutral scent and flavor (I do not eat the stuff, but it is lip balm). I only suggest products to family and friends when they are stellar, and this lip balm is something I give as a gift and tell everyone about who struggles with dry lips.

At first I was not sure it was the original formula. The lanolin(makes me happy we raise sheep) makes the bone a little stiff and hard to apply unless it's at body temperature. This may have something to do with it shipping during the summer. I used to apply at Carmax every night before bed, when I use QTICA my lips are still tingling in the morning and feel very full and moisturized, Carmax is gone somewhere around midnight.. it does not contain sunscreen I would not go without sunscreen but this stuff is gold!

I have been using this for years and I wake up every morning with soft lips even in the winter.

This stuff is magic for dry lips. Best thing I have found to help my chapped lips.

As a guy, I tend to avoid buying over-priced "beauty" products--especially when there are usually comparable products available at a fraction of the price. However, I embarked on a desperate search for a miracle lip balm, because my lips were beyond chapped. They were completely dried out, cracked, and frequently bled. Basically, my lips were in really bad shape and it got to the point where I became extremely self-conscious about them.I tried lots of different lip balms during my desperation. Failed attempts to repair my lips include, but are not limited to: EOS Tangerine Medicated Lip Balm Sphere, .25-Ounce (Pack of 3), Chapstick Lip Balm Medicated, 0.15 oz (Pack of 3), Blistex lip medex, lip moisturizer - 12 x 0.25 oz, Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm Lemon & Chamomile, Neosporin Lip Health Overnight Renewal Therapy, 0.27 Ounce (Pack of 2), Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm Tube, .15-Ounce Tubes (Pack of 4), Kiehls - Lip Balm #1 - Tube - .5oz.., Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Lip Moisturizer, SPF 15, 0.15 Ounce (Pack of 2), and many others... Of these, Jack Black Intense Lip Therapy seemed to work the best, but I still wasn't particularly thrilled with the results. (and many of the others didn't work at all).When I came across Qtica, I was impressed by the volume of very positive reviews, but I was still reluctant to pull the trigger, because (as a guy) I thought that the price was insane for a tiny tube of lip balm. Desperation eventually got the better of me, and I decided to buy Qtica (and paid nearly twice the price of anything that I had previously tried)... Ultimately, it was the BEST money that I have ever spent on lip care. I put a thick coat of Qtica Lip Repair Balm on over night, and when I woke up the next morning I immediately saw results. Don't get me wrong, my gross lips hadn't completely healed after one nighttime application, but the results were definitely visible. I continued to apply the stuff about 3-4 times a day (including a thick coat before bed), and after my first full week of use, my embarrassingly damaged lips had almost completely healed. By the end of the following week, my lips looked soft, healthy and quite kissable.To sum up, this lip balm is absolutely amazing! It's well worth the money and I can't praise Qtica enough. Yes, it's expensive lip balm... But if your lips are damaged, don't let the price deter you. Rather than buying lots of less expensive (and less effective) products, just buy this... You'll be happy you did.

Although it doesnt say so on the packaging, this really works best as an overnight treatment like it says in the title. I have only had long lasting results from this lip balm when its allowed to sit on my lips undisturbed for hours. I also get better results when I massage it into my lips with my fingers. When I do that my lips look fantastic when I wake up. So I think it is best to apply this at night, and then something like aquaphor during the day as needed. My lip look best when I use both of them instead of just one or the other.I wouldnt bother getting this if you plan on using it throughout the day for your skin problems. I mean, if your skin on your lips is normal and they just dry out a lot during the winter or something, this actually is a great balm- far better than your average product. But if you are like me and your lips are constantly chapped no matter what without the use of some specialized product, then, seriously, save it for night treatmentor dont use it at all.UPDATE 6/16/17: This product lasted forever! But I didnt get to use the whole tube. Seriously, a little bit went a long way and Id say about half the tube was gone 5 months after I ordered it- but I finally had to throw it away because it developed a terrible odor. The product went bad despite the fact that I always kept it sealed after use. Oh well. It still made for a nice night treatment

This is an amazing product! I have used it for many years now. If your lips are severely chapped, bleeding and cracking put a thick layer on at night and apply a sparingly several times throughout the day. Once your lips have healed you only have to use a generous amount at night and your lips will not have any issues the following day. When you apply it for daytime use use a very small amount and rub it in. I have seen many people use it and put way too much on their lips. Nighttime is the perfect time to apply a generous amount. The only thing I do not like is that you can not leave it in your car when it’s hot or cold. It separates when it gets cold and it gets hard to apply it will not come out of the tube and what does come out is the oil in it. The oil still works to moisturize. When it gets hot it will liquify. Once it gets cold it never really looks the same but it works the same. 1 tube will last you over 6 months more then likely depending on how much you use it. Once you get your lips healed you will use it less and less. It’s totally worth it to me and a try to make sure I don’t leave it in a cold place. The price is worth it as well.

I’m a former esthetician and we used to use this product to end a facial. It is thick but not overly sticky. It hydrates, and locks in the moisture and gives a slight plumping effect. Customer for life!

I have been using this product for quite a number of years and would always recommend it for dry chapped lips

great product, worth it.

Excellent product good moisturizer good for people who get cold sores easily.

I have tried many different types of lip balms over the last 30 years and this work seems better than any I have tried. It is simply amazing. Yes it is expensive but worth it because it lasts so long. An excellent product.
