Real Healing
Chapped lips are not only unattractive, but they're also uncomfortable. Really dry lips will even start to crack and peel, which can quickly turn into a painful situation. Aquaphor Lip Repair offers a speedy solution to dry lips, even when they're in really bad shape. Even better, regular application can head off dry lip trouble before it begins.
Aquaphor's healing balm contains shea butter, a powerful ingredient that helps lock in moisture. It also has chamomile essence to soothe irritation. Plus, the Lip Repair formula has beeswax, which is known to fight both inflammation and irritation. In other words, this little tube is a goldmine of lip-soothing ingredients.
Straightforward Lip Care
What you see is what you get with Aquaphor Lip Repair. The balm is both colorless and fragrance-free, so it glides on clear and leaves behind no overpowering scent. Whether you are sensitive to fragrances or just want a basic lip balm with powerful protection, this Aquaphor treatment can work for you.
The product goes on smoothly and doesn't leave behind an unpleasant tacky feeling, nor will it leave your lips feeling like you just kissed an oil slick. It is light enough for daytime use, yet it also works wonders as an overnight treatment. In addition, since it's not shiny, both men and women will be comfortable using it.
The formula is free of preservatives, so you can feel good about rubbing it on the delicate skin of your lips.
Convenient Packaging
This Aquaphor Lip Repair treatment comes in a handy, pocket-sized squeeze tube. The screw-on top stays firmly closed when not in use, so you won't end up with lip balm all over your bag or pocket.
When you're ready to soothe your lips, screw off the cap to reveal the built-in angled applicator. Lightly squeeze the tube, and a small amount of product will come out of the applicator. A little bit goes a long way, so this tiny opening lets out all you need for covering your lips. Rub the angled tip over your lips to evenly distribute the balm's healing protection.
Sun Protection
Just like the rest of your skin, your lips need protection from the sun's damaging rays. Although the original variety of this product doesn't contain sunscreen, you can pick up one that does for daytime use.
Aquaphor Lip Protectant + Sunscreen, $3.97, offers SPF 30 broad spectrum sun protection. Like the original, it has a fragrance-free formula that features shea butter for plenty of healing protection.
