I use a little in the summer as a light gloss and a LOT in the winter to protect my lips from the cold. Perfect!

Okay, so I'm a graduate student and a penny pincher so I'm sometimes reluctant to shell out for product--I got this lip moisturizer as part of a package duo, which made me say okay to trying it and would gladly buy it again. I usually have problems with dry skin on my lips-especially, and not surprisingly, in extreme heat and cold (not realizing until recently that you benefit from sunscreen year-round probably added to my winter woes). I've used lip treatments that included sunscreen before but have never got the same results, so I'm assuming it's the antioxidants or some other elements/combo of elements that may account for the difference. There's a slight tint to it, but very subtle, which is good, because I use it everyday as a treatment and wasn't looking for a lipstick substitute. Also, as a daily use item, I like the fact that I only need to apply it 1-2 a day and not constantly like other lip balms/moisturizers I've had, which to me is both a sign that Murad's product does just what it claims to and that it's good value for money--not having to constantly re-apply means a tube goes a long way. I've been using this about two months and it did take about two weeks -not to see results, but to verify them. Since I use it regularly, I noticed that even when I haven't applied it for a few days, my lips are still in great shape.
