This Nivea lip balm is inexpensive with a mild fragrance. The SPF 15 is a bonus. It comes in a handy white and blue wind-up tube. It does moisturise my lips to a certain extent, but I find that it wears off pretty quickly. I like to use gloss or balm over my lipstick and I find that I have to rub this stick quite hard on my lips to get any off onto my lips which spoils my lipstick a bit. I will not purchase this again because I prefer the Nivea lip gloss in a little tin.

Tips: Use at night for an overnight lip treatment.
I purchased this on special for $3.50 at Countdown. I feel it wears off my lips very quickly and is not enough to soothe them when they are chapped. I have definately used much better and would not purchase again.
I picked up this lip balm on one my outings to the store. I normally pick lip balm mainly for hydration. My lips get dry a lot in winter and summer. I'm a fan of certain products from Nivea. I looked forward to trying this.
This lip balm comes in a white tube. Labelling is clear. The consistency of this is a white solid wax. Texture of this is smooth somewhat similar to petroleum jelly. I didn't notice a particular scent with this.
With application I found this simple to apply and wear. I noticed that I needed to keep applying this multiple times during the day . I have badly cracked lips and it definately did not repair them. It did hydrate them temporarily during the time that the lip balm was on my lips.
After trying this I believe it is affordable. It wasn't very good at repairing my lips. One lip balm lasted me a few months . I most likely wouldn't repurchase this particular one again.
I have a love hate relationship with this product. Its so soothing, especially when you've got crazy chapped lips. The downside is it takes a lot of repeated coats. Its more of a band-aid to help create a temporary weather barrier until you can find the ACTUAL product that will help repair your lips. The advertised repairing traits of this lip balm feel like false advertising.
This lip balm is a lot more waxy then many of Nivea's other lip balms, which could explain why it takes so much effort to apply and get relief.
I'm not a fan of the plan white with red and blue writing, I only purchased because it was on special and I couldn't find the one I normally get. I didn't really find it repaired my lips at all they were still just as cracked. Doesn't really smell like anything fantastic either. I wouldn't purchase this again and wouldn't recommend it either
I'm a Carmex devotee now, but have used this in the past. I find after awhile it stops working and becomes slightly drying, but it works well as a back up to throw in your handbag!
Tips: Don't leave in the sun - it will melt!
This is a pretty good product to use every day for lovely glossy, plump lips. That is, as long as you already have healthy looking lips. I noticed that when my lips were REALLY in trouble, even this couldn’t save them. I’m talking about proper windy-weather-damaged, chapped, and dry lips. Spreading this lip balm over my poor lips provide some short-lived comfort, but it do not repair.
Purchased from my local countdown when I was in need of a lip balm to protect and hydrate my already chapped lips. I chose it because it looked like one that would actually repair, over than just softening my lips.
Personally, I didn't find this helpful in curing my chapped lips, and have found it better one to just have to chuck in my bag when I go out and about. I use it when it's the only one I have available, but there a certainly better products out there!
Packaging is basic, and it gets across the point that it's a lip balm intended to repair lips and not used as a lip tint, lip softener etc. Product is clear and waxy, not much to say.
Would recommend it those who want a cheap lip balm that has no tint. If you're looking for one that repairs lips, then I'm sad to say this isn't the best product for the job, despite the name.
It feels so good to apply but you need to keep applying it or it dries out quickly. I also wish it had different flavorings. It does still feel that it's protecting my lips.
I'd like to start by saying that I really enjoy the packaging on this range of Nivea lip balms, they twist up and down in one fluid motion so if you want to check how much you have left in there it won't get stuck or break like some other forms of balms. I've always been a fan of the original in the light blue tube (or tub) but this one just didn't do much for me. I put lip balm on 24/7 unless I have something else on my lips so this got used up in a few weeks. I felt like it didn't do anything to moisturize my lips and didn't do anything to stop them from getting drier either. I felt like it was a total waste of time and effort even applying this. Honestly there's not much else I can say about it aside from the fact that the only upside is that it has SPF in it.
