Chapped lips — take a hike.
Promising review: "My go-to for years. I love all Burt's Bees products but this 'original' is my fave. It heals chapped lips best and feels slightly cooling. Tastes nice (not bitter) when I lick my lips. It doesn't melt as easily as other brands. I have a tube in my car, jacket, purse, nightstand and on my coffee table. I'm loyal to Burt's original formula lip balm." —Amazon reviewer

Promising review: "I'm really happy with this tint, and the level of moisture! It's like it knows what color I wish my lips really were! Definitely worth buying." —Lollyrae

Promising review: "I’ve been wanting to try this product out for sometime now. It’s one of those little things you don’t think you need until you try it. My lips have been getting really dry and peeling. I use this with a lip scrub and it has worked wonders so far. My lips feel much softer and my lip balm is actually being soaked into my lips not just sitting on top feeling heavy. Overall I really like this product. I’ve been using it everyday since I’ve gotten it through the mail. This product has slowly been apart of my daily routine. I’m tempted to order another one as a backup. It’s also really easy to clean. All you need is soap and water. This brush is gentle but still so effective." —Jasmin

Promising review: "Obsessed! I’ve bought this for many friends. I use it morning and night. I’m not someone who gets cracked lips. However, I was on Accutane years ago and even years later my lips stay on the dryer side. People always ask if I have filler but I have to give all the credit to this lip mask." —danilona

Promising review: "I never even thought about using eye cream on the lips before, but I’ve really seen a noticeable difference. I like to use it at night as a hydrating lip mask while I sleep. Beautiful!" —Loz

Promising review: "Love the smell every time you open the gloss. Loved that it has a subtle hint of red. Used it daily on top of other glosses and sometimes by itself. Loved the thick applicator and the texture of the gloss wasn’t goopy. Try it out!" —Kiki

Promising review: "This lip scrub is absolutely amazing. Not only does it moisturize your lips but it also makes them very soft and smooth. This is the best lip scrub that I have used. If you are looking for a product that works very well, then look no further." —Indiangirl

Promising review: "These lip masks are awesome. I was pretty skeptical as my lips are normally pretty chapped. These worked instantly to soften my lips. They come with a small tweezer/tool to pick up the masks. I took one and placed it on top of my lips. I left it the for about 15 minutes. Immediately after removing it my lips were noticeably softer and smoother. It lasted all day." —Emma

Promising review: "This smells amazing, it’s moisturizing without that strange drying effect that other lip balms have. This doesn’t have a taste, so that might be helpful for the people who lick off their lip balm. I love this product, and it seems like it lasts forever!" —Amanda Kay Auten
Get it from Amazon for $8 (available in regular, rose, and mint).
Promising review: "This has the consistency of a liquid lipstick with a glossy finish. Not too sticky, not too drying. Once I apply a full coat, I leave it on while I apply the rest of my makeup. Once I'm finished, I wipe my lips with a clean tissue and I'm left with a perfectly stained lip. I then apply a coat of clear lip gloss so my lips don't dry out. The stain LASTS forever. I purchased this with the intention of staining my lips rather than a bold full coverage look. It stains my lips pinkish-red, making them look 'alive' and juicy. This staining power is strong. The only product that I've tried that lasts even longer is their Ink Velvet line." —K

Promising review: "I love how moisturizing this product is! I’ve bought three of these and will absolutely continue to purchase them. It is right between a lip balm and lipstick where it provides more pigment than a tinted lip balm, but is not as in your face as a lipstick. It’s also very moisturizing when you apply, and after it wears off it leaves an even, light lip stain so you still have some natural-looking softer color left on your lips. Hunny Bun is a great your-lips-but-better color." —jessicacwang

Promising review: "I bought one of the starter sets for travel and this lip balm came with it. I have used the same lip balm from By Terry for years and will now only use this one! I thought it would be calming and beneficial, but it gives a lovely subtle shine and plumps my lips, so I use it throughout the day. Highly recommend." —Margaret M.

Promising review: "My lips are constantly dry, cracked, and peeling. I have tried EVERY type of chapstick, and natural remedy without any improvement. I went out on a limb and tried the Tatcha lip mask and I am in LOVE. Within just a few hours of using the mask my lips were completely moisturized. The mask isn't sticky, greasy, or overly shiny. My lips now look more full, supple, and they are so so soft. I apply a liberal amount before bed and wake up to beautiful, smooth, healthy lips. I couldn't be happier. Unlike other products I don't feel the need to reapply it consistently to maintain the moisture." —tiffany mooney

Promising review: "This cocoa butter stick is the best lip balm you can buy! I have tried lots of lip balms but this cocoa butter stick works better than any other I have ever tried! The versatility of this cocoa butter stick is great for lots of things, I always have one in my purse, one in my car, and one in my son's backpack. The cocoa butter stick doesn't leave your lips glossy so my son will actually use it! I have tried other brands but none compare to Palmer's!" —philyaw
