For the first time in my life, I saw my lips so nourished and plump. However, the application is so daunting that I rarely reach for it.
ConsIs this a lip balm or glue stick? I bought it because of its good reputation, but when I first applied it, I thought the texture was defective. It sticks like a glue stick, making it difficult to spread with your fingers. You have to scrape it with your nails and pat it onto your lips. After applying, if you try to speak, your lips stick together and won't separate easily. I like sticky lips, but this is just like a glue stick! It feels like you're applying glue to your lips. As a result, hair and cat fur stick to it. You can only apply it right before bed. Usually, I apply lip balm before sleeping, and in the morning, I rub off the softened dead skin cells with damp hands. But with this glue stick, my hands stick to my lips and I can't rub properly. If I try to force it, my lips hurt. When I give up and try to wash my hands, the glue won't come off! Even soap doesn't remove it. This glue stick is seriously waterproof. Exhausted, I give up on washing my hands and wipe them with a towel, but the glue makes the towel's dust stick to my fingers too. Sigh. After giving up on everything and just washing up, even though I didn't remove the dead skin cells, my lips feel smooth all day. My lips become nourished and plump! But why? Where did the dead skin cells go overnight, leaving only the glue behind?
TipIf you just give up, you'll end up with brand new lips.

Cons- It's sticky. The absorption isn't the best, but the effectiveness is so good that it's forgivable - Can't think of any other downsides
TipGrab it at a discount on Coupang Don't bother with the small size - go for the large one and apply it before bed!

Hydration: -One of the top 3 lip care products I've ever used I've tried so many lip care products, but there's a reason why this one is famous. When I use it at night and wake up in the morning, I can see the dead skin cells on my lips. I just gently wipe them off with a cotton pad, and it's perfect! My lips used to chap a lot in winter, but since using this product, I don't worry about dead skin cells anymore! When I touch my lips, they feel smooth and soft (though I feel a bit awkward saying it myself). The sticky texture might be hit or miss for some, but I absolutely love it! Duration of use: I've been using it for about a month. Scent: -Tangy fruit smell It has a slightly tangy, fruity scent! I think it's because of the ginger and orange oil mix. (I don't like ginger, so I'm not sure if I can smell it specifically.) Amount: -23g I bought it during an Olive Young sale, so it was cheaper than the regular price. But even at full price, the quality is worth it, so I think it's bang for your buck! The amount is generous too!
ConsApplication: -Sticky texture The formula itself is quite sticky! Because of this, I don't think it's suitable for carrying around and using on-the-go like the Ginger Sugar Essential Lip Balm or Ginger Sugar Lip Balm Stick. As the product name suggests, it's best to apply it right before bed, let it plump up the dead skin cells overnight, and then remove them in the morning with a cotton pad soaked in toner.
TipPro tip: When doing your makeup, apply a tiny bit to slightly plump up the dead skin cells, then at the end of your makeup routine, wipe your lips with a cotton pad soaked in toner. This way, no matter what tint you apply, it goes on smoothly without any dead skin cells!

Plus, you get a generous amount in the package.
ConsThe application is really problematic - it's so rough it can scrape your lips. Also, it leaves a white cast, so you might only be able to use it before bed at night.
TipSince it's so hard to apply, I ended up mixing it with Vaseline to make it work.

Personally, I think the case is pretty. Surprisingly convenient to carry around.
ConsAs someone who always looks for thick, creamy products, I had high hopes. While this product is indeed very rich, it falls short in hydration. It's so thick and sticky that it lacks moisture. For dry lips, it's somewhat disappointing - the absorbs isn't great. I wish it were a bit smoother.
TipIt works best when you layer it over another lip balm. That combination is really good.

I truly recommend this product.
ConsHowever, it's a bit too thick and doesn't absorb easily... I wish it could be made more hydrating.

By morning, all the dead skin cells have softened and are easily removed! It's also fragrance-free, which is fantastic. In the morning, I recommend gently wiping it off with an oil-based cleanser. (Initially, I tried rinsing with water, but that left a sticky residue that was hard to remove.)
ConsHowever, it's extremely sticky, so it doesn't absorb well and is impractical for daytime use. While I apply it generously before sleeping, the thick texture can feel uncomfortable and suffocating during the night.

I hope it helps with your buying decision. First off, this is one of the Ginger Sugar Lip Care products that survived Aritaum's lineup, so I had some expectations. Among the stick, tube, and jar versions, this jar type seems to be the best-seller. (It's also famously picked by beauty YouTubers Jo Hyo-jin and Leo J!) ✔️✔️ Moisturizing Power It has a sticky consistency that really adheres to your lips, so it doesn't come off easily. The moisturizing effect lasts quite a long time.
Cons✔️✔️ Texture Compared to the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask I've used before, this one has an extremely sticky texture. It doesn't glide on smoothly and absorb quickly. Instead, it feels like you're coating your lips with a thick, gooey layer. (Out of all the lip care products I've tried - sticks, tubes, and balms - this texture was a first for me, which was quite surprising.) ✔️✔️ Usability It's difficult to completely remove the product from your hands with a tissue, and when washing cups you've used, it doesn't come off easily with cold water. These aspects make it somewhat disappointing in terms of usability.

The results are undeniable!
ConsGiven its exceptional moisturizing and dead skin cell plumping abilities, the texture can feel quite sticky, like melted gum, which might make it a bit challenging to apply evenly. It's not ideal for daily use during daytime activities. I think it's best used as an overnight treatment, like a mask before bed. (Those who don't have much lip flakiness and are sensitive to sticky textures might want to reconsider using this product!)
TipFor better results, scoop out a pea-sized amount with your fingernail and apply it generously to your lips!
