I received this product with a gift of purchase so I didn't try it right away. Many weeks later, I found it sitting in my bathroom cabinet and figured I would finally give it a try - boy, am I glad I ever did. This lip exfoliant, which I leave on for a good 5-10 minutes (the longer, the better) leaves my lips feeling tingly (in a good way) and moisturized. The cream is quite grainy, with a cool, peppermint -like smell. And because I like to wear lipstick and am quite fanatical about having dry lips, I find this product does the job for me. For this product, a little goes a long way, which is why during the winter months, I apply it more often, at least once every two weeks. Give it a try, I'm sure you'll end up including as part of your beauty regimen.
