I am a lip balm addict lol.<br />I agree With you on most of the balms, but I do find that the Omorovicza sticking to the back of my teeth. I Guess it's because of the high content of sugar.(and that's also why it tastes a lot too)I also find it melting in high roomtemprature. Other than that I love it! artemisa.blogg.nohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03629472980888835876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4845163767431737519.post-32241588944569971102015-02-12T11:37:28.659-08:002015-02-12T11:37:28.659-08:00I have had the same problem for years!

I'm using argan products and maracuja oil directly on my lips. I use a sugar scrub but it doesn't get the dead skin off. If I try to pull it off myself it just ends up bleeding. I have used low end and high end and still am searching! The Dior Rose I like during the day and adore the smell, and right now I'm using the Bite overnight since I have it. My Josie Maran Argan lip treatment was a high hope for me since I love her skincare but it has an odd texture, like it's grainy. I'm going to splurge and get the La Mer and use a couple times a week to exfoliate and the Sisly on other nights to treat. Hope it works!Lauren Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08623390106772205438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4845163767431737519.post-72538295697871082562014-06-13T09:37:45.861-07:002014-06-13T09:37:45.861-07:00I am gonna try what you did.

Even if those worked, it only lasted for a month and I had to change another brand again. I am so frustrated that I want to find a dermatologist to figure out what's wrong with my lips, but have no idea which dermatologist to go to. <br />Do you bring the whole lip balm out or do you put them in a small container? ^^Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01102969223256984270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4845163767431737519.post-18550818371043942512014-05-19T21:04:06.945-07:002014-05-19T21:04:06.945-07:00Have you tried the tatcha lip balm?

It is acceptable when the lips feel softer and the peeling is gentle like with La Mer's lip balm, but when I refer to peeling.. it translates to painfully dry, cracked lips. Dead skin on top of dehydrated skin. Not an attractive look, especially if the lips were in prime condition to start with. Exfoliation renews the surface without leaving messy, dead dry skin on the surface of the lips.RAEviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01987230952593853380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4845163767431737519.post-7413466734911955882014-04-17T01:38:21.913-07:002014-04-17T01:38:21.913-07:00Hi!

Also, isn't peeling the same as exfoliating since by exfoliating, you're removing the dry layer and exposing the layer underneath. If you could clarify why a product that makes your lips peel is bad, that would be great! Thanks! (sorry if this is posted twice... I can't figure out if it's working or not) Purple_horsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15000813497233587818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4845163767431737519.post-69091625269910100112014-04-03T12:28:33.120-07:002014-04-03T12:28:33.120-07:00No, I haven't!No, I haven't!RAEviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01987230952593853380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4845163767431737519.post-37756470073186529452014-04-03T09:21:34.233-07:002014-04-03T09:21:34.233-07:00Wondering if you have ever tried the Chantecaille ...Wondering if you have ever tried the Chantecaille 'lip potion' balm?

I used a ton of different brands in hopes to find some relief (including the Dior Creme de Rose and Malin + Goetz products that you reviewed in this post). I was just about to bite the bullet and get the Terry balm but I stumbled across The Body Shop Aloe Lip Balm and it has cured my dry lips. If you get a chance to try it out I def. recommend it!PixieLuvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13418788780727078185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4845163767431737519.post-53394546712548589272014-04-01T06:39:11.871-07:002014-04-01T06:39:11.871-07:00So glad to hear it!!

While neither one of us has any issues with severely cracked lips, I do suffer from dryness and occasional peeling in the Winter (damn indoor heating), and most lip balms out there have never cut it for me. Recently I began using the Clarins Moisture Replenishing Lip Balm and it has been my saviour! The texture is absolutely amazing, and I use it constantly - applied overnight, I wake up with the softest lips on the planet!

You've done an excellent job, though, of explaining exactly what you do and don't like about the various products.
