It's the fate of tube-type products, but it's hard to control the amount. You can't see how much you're squeezing when you apply it directly to your lips... If you squeeze it in front of your eyes, it goes inside your mouth before you can apply it to your lips...ㅠㅠ

It doesn't feel irritated when used, and the moisture is maintained even after some time. I'm completely satisfied.

시카 립밤

Since it's more of a lotion-like consistency rather than a stick, you only need to lightly press and spread it on your lips, as pressing too hard can cause too much product to come out.

There are no downsides for me, as it doesn't cause any breakouts.

I've purchased and tried many other lip balms that claim to be good for the lips, but they often caused breakouts for me. However, the ISOI Cica Lip Balm has never caused any issues, and I've been using it for years. It keeps my lips moisturized and doesn't cause any trouble, making it the perfect choice for me.

It's a bit runny, so even when I applied a small amount, it seeped into my mouth a bit

It's in a tube form. Clean design. No dyes. That's about it...

When lips rub together, it feels oily and slippery.
The tube format is not very hygienic, and it's a bit inconvenient that it can't be stood upright.
The volume is only 10g, but the price is expensive.

This is a slightly yellowish, translucent lip balm. The product I used before felt heavy or sticky, but the Chicago lip balm is very light and not at all sticky, as if I haven't applied anything. It absorbs faster than expected, and if your lips don't have severe peeling, it seems to soothe well. My father, who has a lot of peeling and cracking, didn't feel a huge effect when I applied it, but after a few days of use, his lips improved at some point. The scent is mild. It also glides on easily.
Being in a tube form, it doesn't leak or become messy when laid down.
When applied before bedtime, there is no extremely dry feeling until the next morning's meal.

• It's too watery, so the moisturizing power feels lacking
• It leaves a strange taste in my mouth when applied
• I have to reapply it frequently
• After applying, my lips feel even drier.

The ingredients are decent, but I don't plan to repurchase.

It had no moisturizing power and no effect at all, so I ended up not using the entire container and just threw it away.

My lips suddenly became dry and I developed cheilitis, so I purchased this product. I had seen great results with the Rose Lip Balm before, so I decided to try this one, but it did not make my lips feel moisturized and had no effect whatsoever.

The only downside is that it's a bit pricey...

It's really ~~so good😹 I'm using two jars right now, and if I apply a generous amount before bed, the flaky skin puffs up, and when I wash my face in the morning, it gently peels off. During the day when my lips get dry, a small amount (about half a fingernail) keeps them moisturized! I love that it softens and soothes flaky skin, and I personally think it's one of the best lip balms out there! Even though it's a squeeze-type, I don't think it's the most hygienic option these days, but using it after washing my hands makes it more sanitary. It's more suitable for softening or plumping up flaky skin than for long-lasting moisture, so I find it works best as a nighttime treatment for me😄

I recommend this lip balm to those looking for one without shea butter that melts smoothly and absorbs lightly.

It's not an extremely moisturizing and hydrating product.

It has a sweet taste, doesn't sting the lips, and I really like it. There are no acne-causing ingredients, so I don't have to worry about anything breaking out around my lips.

If you apply it thinly before using a matte lip product, it won't be too glossy, but it will still be moisturizing and help calm down any flakiness.

The price, oh no ㅠㅠ The one I'm using now was bought at a duty-free store, but the regular price is more expensive than other brand products, so I'm a bit hesitant to repurchase.
And since the texture is thin, it sometimes gets into my mouth.

First, I was happy to use it with confidence because the ingredients are good. When it comes out of the container, it has a more balm-like texture, but when applied to the lips, it becomes more fluid like an essence, so there is no stuffy feeling, which I like. It gets quite thin, so I was worried if it would be moisturizing, but it stayed moist for quite a long time.

Unlike other stick-type lip balms, the moisturizing effect doesn't last very long.
Regular lip balms leave a coated feeling on the lips that lasts for a while, but with this product, the formula feeling on the lips disappears quickly, leaving my lips feeling bare again.
Also, if I apply it on lips with peeling skin, it ends up exacerbating the flaking.

My lips are always dry and often cracked, so I'm constantly using lip balm.
The Chicago lip balm comes in a thin, slender tube-type container, making it lightweight and easy to carry around.
The angled tip of the tube makes it easy to apply on the lips.
The formula is quite thin, so a small amount spreads easily on the lips, but sometimes it can be difficult to control the amount as it tends to squirt out. 
Due to the runny formula, it often ends up getting into my mouth, and it has a slightly sour yet sweet taste. I've heard the sweetness comes from the glycerin.
The color is a pale green and the product is transparent.
The lightweight formula absorbs quickly without feeling greasy or sticky.
I've even used it when my lips were cracked and bleeding, and while it stung a bit, it worked well and my lips healed quickly.
I'd recommend this to those with sensitive, dry lips.

Despite the above advantages, when applied alone... it causes flaking... It doesn't make my lips feel moisturized, but rather like my lips are swelling ㅠㅠ If I'm not using a color cosmetic with a smooth lip texture before, I don't really reach for this product...

A downside is that I keep accidentally eating it when reapplying, and the taste is strange and bitter ㅎㅎ Of course, lip balm is not meant to be eaten, but this product in particular makes me want to eat it when I apply it ㅠ
Also, the price is a bit high for a lip balm... Hmm... It doesn't give me that plump, bouncy lip feeling that really tackles dry lips.

My expectations and the texture? The texture is different from the previous lip balms, so I was a bit surprised.. It's completely different from the previous lip balm finish.
The texture and scent when applying it feels like Vaseline and might be greasy, but it's not!! The finish is a completely soft, velvety texture that applies smoothly and lightly... Did I really apply lip balm...? Did I apply enough...? This characteristic makes the color payoff of other color cosmetics better, and I don't have to give up the lightweight, smooth texture of color cosmetics because of the lip balm.
