Classic, simple occlusive for intense overnight hydration
What the community says
This occlusive lip balm locks in moisture for chapped, dry lips and sensitive skin. It's adored for overnight use and barrier protection but feels heavy and greasy. Some users report milia and redness, so it's not ideal for acne-prone or oily skin.
