Burt's Bees Rescue Balm Elderberry Lip Balm, With Antioxidant-Rich Elderberry, Tint-Free, Natural Origin Lip Care, 2 Tubes, 0.15 oz.

The rescue balm is the best ACTUALLY rehydrating lip balm we've been able to find in our house, and my husband has gone through dozens.

Never thought I'd be leaving a review for something so simple as chapstick, but this stuff is great! I've been using Vaseline Lip Therapy in the little tube for a couple years when I had desperately chapped lips that needed to be healed (constant cracking and bleeding), and they've since healed up nicely and I wanted to give Burt's Bees a try again. I've tried their balms in the past, and they are nice, but way back when didn't help with majorly damaged lips.Normally the Vaseline is gone off my lips super fast, but this Burt's Bees one stays on for quite a while! I do reapply often, but not near as much as I had to before. It leaves a nice waxy coating, with a cooling effect that is really refreshing. There's also turmeric in it, which is great for inflammation. (For reference, I have difficulty breathing through my nose, therefore my lips are often dried out from mouth-breathing).Pros:- Smells great and refreshing- Has given my lips a wonderful plump texture, without being "wet" looking, just nice and hydrated.- Has helped with the texture a lot, and very soothing (though if "minty" feeling products irritate your lips, you may want to avoid this)- Fairly affordable, and tube #1 still going strong (edit: immediately after writing this review, the price went up $2? It was a little over $6 when I purchased...)- Tastes nice (except one part, see below)Cons:- The turmeric, while does provide benefits, I have noticed that there is occasionally an orange-tint on the edges of my lips where it meets the skin. It's mild and doesn't happen all the time, and you probably won't notice it unless your very fair-skinned, like me!- The turmeric (again), this is minor and I actually don't mind it, but turmeric tastes pretty "earthy", like well, dirt! And for me it's not a bad taste, but I wanted to mention it in case others might dislike it.Overall, I recommend! If your lips are mostly healed/healing I think this is a great balm, but if they're cracked and bleeding you may want to use Vaseline lip therapy until they're healed up, and then use a nice balm like this after :)

This product keeps the lips moisturized thank God I have my winter bum for the winter.

Gentler feel than other Burt’s bees regular lip balms. Great smell!

I like how this smells, and I like that it's the rescue balm-- however, it's just really waxy. The other lip balms from Burt's Bees go on smooth and easily, practically like they are melting into your body heat. This feels like I am trying to rub a candle on my lips sometimes. It was always very firm and didn't go on or spread easily, and that ruined it for me.

Burt's bees is always wonderful

I live in Colorado and it is so dry. My lips were always cracking and bleeding. This chapstick helped heal my lips.

The formula is too soft and not like other flavors. Instead of gliding on smoothly, it leaves chunks behind, like it wasn't mixed completely. I was disappointed but they quit selling the other flavor I liked. Back to searching.
