This review comes as I'm nearing the end of the tube. I've been using this lip balm for almost 6 months now. The fact that I'm just now reaching the bottom speaks volumes about its generous size. Even though I tend to apply lip balm quite liberally, it's lasted this long. Great value for money. Some say it absorbs slowly, which means it's quite rich. I usually apply it generously before bed, like a sleeping pack for my lips. This leaves my lips incredibly hydrated. I bought this as an alternative to the Ginger Sugar Lip Mask, and I find it quite similar. It's just as easy to apply generously before sleep. In fact, the squeeze tube format is even more convenient. I used to prefer stick types like Uriage, but now I find tube types more hygienic and practical, so I often buy them. It feels like it's wrapping your lips in a protective layer. Rather than absorbing quickly, it creates a barrier that guards against moisture loss. This makes it perfect for winter and seasonal changes. It's also great to layer over lipstick. It adds a pretty shine while moisturizing, which is especially useful when lipstick feels drying. That's mainly how I used it. I wouldn't recommend using this if you have any lip conditions. It absorbs slowly, and the ingredients aren't particularly impressive - it might even cause irritation. While it's fine on the lips themselves, the surrounding area can become itchy, which I suspect is due to the ingredients. Apart from this issue, I would highly recommend this lip balm. - Hwahae UserDry SkinAcne SkinDec 16, 2020
I use this every time my lips feel extremely dry before bed. It stays on until morning. I love how moisturizing it is. It's too sticky, so I only apply it before sleeping. While it keeps my lips hydrated until morning, it doesn't seem to absorb much. It feels like it's just sitting on my lips. - Hwahae UserDry SkinSensitive SkinApr 9, 2019
✓ Great hydration Aritaum Ginger Sugar - need I say more about its moisturizing power? You can feel both hydration and richness, and when you apply a thin layer when your lips are dry, the moisturizing effect lasts for ages! Highly recommended for those with severely dry lips. ✓ Excellent product packaging Some squeeze-type products require Herculean strength to use, but this Ginger Sugar lip balm is light and easy to dispense. Love it! ✓ Pleasant fragrance You know how some lip balms have off-putting scents that make you hesitant to use them? This product has a refreshing, lemony scent that's not at all unpleasant. ✗ Poor absorption It tends to sit on top of the lips, so I wouldn't recommend using it during the day - only before bed. Due to its poor absorption, if you apply it around your mouth, it makes the area look shinier than your lips, which isn't a good look. It gives a very glossy appearance. ✗ Sticky texture You need to control the amount carefully and apply a thin layer. If applied thinly, it feels moisturizing and nice, but if you use too much, it becomes sticky. ✗ Ingredients! How can a lip balm contain so many potentially irritating ingredients? I applied it generously before bed, and unlike usual, the area around my lips felt itchy and irritated. - Hwahae UserNormal SkinAcne SkinJul 15, 2018
I desperately bought this product at a random roadshop nearby because my lips were painfully chapped from neglecting lip care all winter. To cut to the chase, it's the ultimate lip balm for healing cracked lips and dead skin cells with just one application. It has a water-gel texture. In winter, this is truly all you need - you won't have to worry about chapped lips or flaky skin. After it's fully absorbed, your lips become soft and supple without any dead skin. It's perfect for at-home lip care and lasts a long time. It's not easy to control the amount. The product applies thickly and takes quite a while to absorb when applied heavily. It can feel a bit suffocating. The product container is too flimsy (I noticed one day that it was leaking from the sides when squeezed). For those who suffer from painfully chapped lips in winter, try applying this thickly with your fingers at home and wait until it's almost fully absorbed (until the water-gel shine disappears). Then, gently pat in any remaining product, and your chapped lips will be completely healed! - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinFeb 20, 2018
The thick and heavy texture of this lip balm was perfect for my dry and plump lips. I've been using it for almost two years and have no intention of switching to another product. I highly recommend it for those with dry lips! As with everything, there are two sides to the coin. Due to its concentrated formula, it doesn't give a quick-absorbing feeling. It's a bit uncomfortable to apply after makeup, and it's not easy to carry around and use on-the-go. Also, if it gets on your hands or hair, it becomes quite sticky. 1. Apply generously during your skincare routine before makeup, then wipe off with a cotton swab before applying lipstick for an exfoliating effect! After applying lipstick or tint, lightly layer with a thinner lip balm for long-lasting moisture. Highly recommend combining the Ginger Sugar Essential Lip Balm with regular Vaseline! 2. Apply before bed for lips with a healthy color the next morning. 3. When it becomes difficult to squeeze out product, cut the tube in half and use a cotton swab to apply! Due to the formula's consistency, a significant amount remains at the bottom, so use a cotton swab to apply. Using your fingers is really not recommended! - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinMar 25, 2015
I'm glad I bought this product at a discounted price. The fragrance is nice. The formula itself is too sticky, and it feels like it's just sitting on the surface rather than being absorbed. I apply the lipstick and then use a small amount of the transparent lip gloss-like product on top of it. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinDec 29, 2014
Why haven't you bought this yet? When winter comes, your lips will crack all the way up to your philtrum, but this will make it all go away. Even my mom bought it and she loves it. The texture is a bit thick and absorption is slow, but who cares? It's great. If you apply it thickly before bed, you'll see dead skin come off in the morning.
