The mission: Finding a formula thats nourishing and long-wear enough that it hydrates and heals for hours.
The thick, nourishing feel and moisturizing effect remain the same.
It works; in the morning, my lips remain miraculously smooth and hydrated.

As far as keeping dryness and irritation at bay goes, though?
I basically make my lips feel like two salve-slicked pillows before I sleep.
It works; in the morning, my lips remain miraculously smooth and hydrated.
The water-restorative, silky formula seals in moisture while deeply healing with mineral spring water and zinc sulfate.
It contains a mix of olive oil, avocado oil, and vitamin E meant to leave lips moisturized.
Final Verdict
Aquaphor Lip Repair (and all its cousins) has been popular for years for a reason.
