This is an extremely affordable product, which, to be fair, does what it says it is going to do. I can say that it did remove the dead skin from my lips, and overall leave them feeling smoother. It works well before lipstick to prep lips.
However, the formula is very solid, and hard to use. I had to really warm it up before I actually managed to get product transfer to my lips. The taste isn't great, and you do need to either wash or lick off the excess product once the exfoliation process is done, as it isn't absorbed.
It's not a bad product, and it's good value, but if you want something top quality, try looking elsewhere.
I’m not sure if I received a dud product or what happened, but it was extremely hard and scratchy on my lips, I couldn’t get it to work at all. Smell was nonexistent too, doesn’t taste great, this needs to be washed off, so it’s not really for on the go exfoliation. I have chucked it in the bin without a second thought and I usually hate wasting products, I usually try to find an alternative way to use things up, but I didn’t mind throwing this out. Luckily I’ve bought it pretty cheap from iherb, so not a lot of money wasted.
