"You're buying for the formula. And that's what I would say about this one. I would just say best lip balm. Best lip balm of the year. I know there's nothing exciting about lip balms and I know that it's not something you can really get super enthusiastic about, but if your lips have gone through it this winter and you want a really nice lip balm that is really inexpensive and actually works, it's a favorite for a reason. Just delivers."

KOREAN SKINCARE THAT ACTUALLY WORKS - Viral Korean Skincare 2025

"It's got some great antimicrobial properties too, and it's just a genuinely amazing lip balm. It hydrates the lips and gives a little plumpness to them. It's definitely one of those products you'll only need to apply two or three times a day, not one of those cheap lip balms you have to apply every half an hour [...] to maintain the results. This just delivers. The reason this went viral is because of its applicator."

"If you're somebody that doesn't like to be digging your fingers into a pot, you'll like this packaging. I love the formulation, the propolis really nourishes, reduces any chappness that you have to the lips and helps smooth everything out. It's not super glossy either, this isn't giving that sheen or shine, so it's great for people like me that don't like to have a shiny lip all day. This is very just much just like your good skin day when it comes to the lips and it lasts forever."

"I love this product. Do I think you need this sort of overengineered packaging on a lip balm? Absolutely not. But this is a case of I'm not the biggest fan of the packaging, but the product is amazing. If you don't like to be touching your lip balms, this is a great idea because you can just get a little bit off and it dispenses so nicely. It's got the propolis which is nourishing for the skin. This is one of those lip balms that lasts all day."

"I love Propolis is great again for winter skin, beautifully hydrating. It's got some barrier boosting benefits. And this is one of those true hidden gem lip products that lasts all day. Put this on your skin, go about your business. You don't need to reapply every hour on the hour because this actually lasts. And that is the mark of a good lip balm. [...] This is viral because of the packaging, but actually it deserves to be viral because of the amazing next level formulation."

"The Propolis Lip Serum from CNP, this is so good. This is not on sale either, so it is a full $16 retail. It's really lightweight, easy to apply, and yet nourishing on your lips, and a full half ounce, so this is a lot of lip balm. I had one and I lost mine, I'm pretty good about not losing products but I do lose lip balms, so [...] I'm happy to have another one of these. That's a hit."

"This is a viral lip product from CNP, a squeeze tube so it only comes out a little at a time, pretty hygienic, you just take out the amount you'll use. CNP is very popular for their propolis, so they put that ingredient in this too. The texture is pretty thick, the hydration doesn't last long, and it smells a little like sweet honey, I don't like that. It's not worth the hype."

"It feels a little lighter than a lip mask, but it totally works well. It's really hygienic because with a lip mask you [...] open it and it's all exposed, but with this you open it, use it once, and it's easy to carry everywhere, so it's amazing. The only downside is I can't see how much is left, which is a little sad."

"It's kind of like a lightweight gel which makes me a little bit nervous because for me I need super rich formulas for my lips to stay moisturized throughout the day. [...] It feels really nice though and it tastes good too. It's like a nice level of gloss, not super super glossy but it definitely makes my lips look more plump and moisturized. I like it."
