Swapped out my old balm for this and the difference is night and day — it's invisible once it's on, no shine at all, which is exactly what I needed for work. The hydration actually sticks around through a full afternoon of meetings.
The matte finish is exactly what I wanted—no shine, no grease, just a smooth layer that actually disappears into my lips. It’s been a few hours since I applied it and my mouth still feels soft, not dried out like with other balms.
My lips feel normal two hours after applying, which is exactly what I wanted — no shine, no sticky film, just softness that lasts. The jar is small but a little goes a long way, and it sinks in before I even put my shirt on.
