Pros
After learning that I'm allergic to all oils, I've been slathering on hyaluronic acid serum nonstop to save my dried-out lips. You've come to my rescue.
Cons
There is no smell when first applied. It disappears after 1 minute.
Tip
Apply generously before bedtime.

Pros
I remember the price was quite affordable, around 1,000 won per item, as I purchased it in Japan.
Cons
Although there were many recommendations for Japanese lip balms on the shopping list, I'm quite disappointed with the scent, texture, and application. The smell is like menthol, but it's more like a medicated ointment. In conclusion, it feels like I'm applying hardened medical ointment. The texture is not a soft butter-like formula, but a transparent gel that has been solidified. If you're familiar with the transparent lip balm type, this is exactly that texture, which I personally dislike. The application is stiff. There's no moisture, softness, or lasting power.
Tip
Ugh, is this hardened medical ointment?

Pros
The product applies thinly and adheres well, making it easy to apply lightly. It also has good moisturizing power. Personally, I really dislike lip balms that have a lightweight oil-like feel and don't adhere well, quickly wearing off. But this lip balm has a nice, clingy feel on the lips, which I really like! The lip balm formula is on the firmer side, so it doesn't get mushy or slide up the lips, applying in a thin layer. It has a cooling sensation. In the winter, when applying it outside or in windy conditions, the lips feel incredibly refreshing and cool. I really enjoy the cooling effect. It's affordable and easy to find. I purchased it from Olive Young, but it's also sold at grocery stores and Daiso. The regular price is around 4,000 won, which is very inexpensive, and I even saw it for 3,000 won at Daiso! It glides on and off smoothly. Even though it's inexpensive, the packaging doesn't feel cheap, and the product applies and removes easily.
Cons
It has a pungent, irritating smell similar to a medicated ointment. If you don't like cooling sensations, be cautious.
Tip
*I always use a lip mask at night and apply a stick lip balm during the day. I don't use the stick lip balm for exfoliating, only when my lips feel dry.

Pros
Other lip balms were too shiny and glossy when applied, which I didn't like, but this one has just the right amount of gloss, which I really love!! It also doesn't look too shiny when I look at it, and it looks natural. The cooling sensation feels refreshing and pleasant.
Cons
It has a smell similar to medicated ointment, which some people may dislike if they don't like that kind of scent.
Tip
For those who are concerned about flaky skin showing up when wearing tint, applying this first and then the tint will prevent the flaky skin from being emphasized!

Pros
It feels refreshing on the lips The texture itself is firm, so it doesn't apply too thickly It doesn't have a distracting shimmer, so it's also good for layering other lip products If you don't like heavy, creamy lip balms, I highly recommend this! It's perfect for people who don't have much lip peeling I'm on my second tube now as it provides just the right amount of moisture and doesn't cause any peeling It's easy to twist up and use, so I recommend it
Cons
The scent is exactly like a medicated ointment I personally like the medicinal scent, but it might be divisive Also, if your lips are a bit damp, it doesn't apply as well, so you should blot your lips a bit before using it!
