Although it's unlikely, I wish the company would reintroduce and restock this product. I miss the days when it was available in the stores.

Although the product has been discontinued, I have fond memories of it. Years ago, I had severely chapped lips during the harsh winter, and I happened to visit an Etude House store that day to buy something. A kind-hearted saleswoman with a cute short hairstyle noticed my condition and recommended this product to me with genuine concern. I ended up buying it on impulse. While it didn't absorb into my lips particularly well, the peach scent was lovely, and the image of the short-haired girl on the lip balm always reminded me of that caring saleswoman, which was very comforting whenever I used it.

키스풀 립 케어 [4호 에센스]

The fragrance is a bit strong, which can be uncomfortable, but there are no other significant drawbacks.

The fragrance is very nice. The ingredients are not bad either. The product I used to use was discontinued, so I'm using this one now.

When my lips are dry, I apply this, wait about 3 minutes, then wipe it off and apply tint, and my lips become free of dead skin.

It's too oily, so when I apply tint over this, the tint tends to slip off.

Just a small amount seems to immediately suppress the dead skin. The scent is so nice that I've been applying it diligently every night. The cost-effectiveness is good, and the amount is surprisingly generous, which I like.

I don't really have any special tips, but if you're concerned about the lasting power, you could try applying a fragrance-free lip balm first, then putting this on top. That might help it last a bit longer.

As I mentioned before, the only downside is the lasting power. But even after it wears off, it doesn't leave the lips feeling dry right away, so reapplying it periodically works well.

The peach scent is so soft and subtle, it really feels like you're biting into a peach! Haha. The texture is smooth and applies nicely, and there's a good amount of product. While the lasting power isn't super long, it absorbs well into the lips and reapplying keeps it looking nice. It's a clear product, but it makes the lips look shiny and lively even without any color. I think this is a great product for students like me!

I generally prefer matte tints over glossy ones, as my lips tend to get dry. But this lip balm is great - I can just squeeze out a small amount and apply it lightly around the lip area. In the winter, it prevents my lips from cracking even when I open my mouth wide. It's convenient to use a small amount at a time, and it works well when mixed with tints too.

1. If you don't control the amount, it can feel unpleasant when applied.
Be careful and control the amount when applying.
2. The lasting power is short, so you have to reapply frequently.
(But I think this is the case with other lip balms as well.)
3. The outer packaging sticker is not seamlessly connected, and there's a gap. Over time, the gap widens and dust accumulates, making the appearance unappealing if used for a long time, even if there's product left.
4. I'm not sure if it's because I peel off my flaky skin, but it doesn't seem to have the level of moisturizing power that claims to remove flakiness...

I've been using this for a few years now because of its great value.
The fragrance is not too overwhelming and is subtle, which I really like.
At 4,000 won, the amount seems quite generous as well.
That's why I have one at home, one in my pouch, one in my car, and one at work - I'm really satisfied with the price.

1. Fragrance
The peach fragrance is nice, but it continues to linger even after application, which can be inconvenient. This may vary from person to person, so please consider it as a reference!
2. Lip Care
The lip care doesn't seem to have a significant effect. The effect is minimal. Also, when applying this product over lipstick, the lip color changes.

1. Applicator Tip
The applicator tip is designed for convenient application on the lips.
2. Texture
The texture seems good for everyday use! It has a suitable texture for application when the lips feel chapped, so I recommend it.

It's a shame that the outer layer keeps peeling off. It also tends to become a bit runny in hot weather.

First and foremost, the most important thing about a lip balm is that it's really moisturizing.

It's better to apply it using a cotton swab or your fingers rather than directly on the lips.

⚡If squeezed directly onto the lips, it can get into the mouth. I accidentally tasted it, and it was so stuffy and sticky that I wanted to rinse my tongue.

⚡The amount is difficult to control.

⛄Smooth Application
It applies lightly and works well as a petroleum jelly substitute. The formula is lighter than petroleum jelly.

⛄Smooth Application
After application, there is a slight glossy finish. It seems to bring a healthy glow to the lips.

⛄Fragrance
It has a light floral scent.

You can use it when exfoliating or to calm down flaky skin, and it works like a charm💕💕

There wasn't really anything bad about it💕💕 It's that good, and I highly recommend it!!

This is a product I've repurchased more than 3 times💕
Some people say the formula is heavy, but I usually use heavier products so it didn't bother me at all ㅎ The peach scent is also really sweet and nice, and the application was easier than expected ㅎ Some people say their lips get really glossy, but I used a lip oil so it didn't really matter to me, and my lips didn't get overly glossy either💕 This is my absolute favorite❤

It just feels like it's removing flakes, but after using it, there doesn't seem to be much effect.

I thought this lip scrub was good because it had granules that helped remove lip flakes.

Some people have complained about the packaging, but I don't think that's a big issue. With most makeup products, especially lip products, some wear-off on the surface is normal and to be expected. As long as it's not severely crumbling or turning powdery, I don't see it as a major problem. If you have trouble controlling the amount you apply, it could feel a bit sticky or heavy, but that's an individual preference.

I really liked the essence-type lip balm more than the thicker lip balms. It has a silky, soft, and spreadable texture that absorbs well. It's better than Vaseline, Himalaya, Etude, Holika Holika, Lip B, Mamonde, and Chosungdol in terms of price and packaging - it comes in a tube rather than a pot that needs to be scooped out. The sweet scent is nice, and there's no coating just on the surface, as the moisturizing effect goes all the way through. A couple of key ingredients are enough to make me satisfied.
