"I love Vaseline for the lips. I truly always continue to recommend this even though I have my own lip product which has petrolatum in it. I still recommend this because of the price point on it. Overall love this except I would take the dye out and just use their regular pure petrolatum for Vaseline."

"There is nothing wrong with Vaseline. [...] I don't think I have any issues with how it's [...] formulated or what it's actually doing. I just don't think it's the be all and end all when it comes to lip care."

"They have a variety of kitty lip balms, Vaseline Lip Therapy, what's in that, probably fragrance and flavorings. Yeah, fragrance, just use plain petrolatum Vaseline, but it's kind of hard to carry around sometimes depending on the packaging."

"This Vaseline Lip Therapy is really good, it doesn't have flavorant or fragrance, it's got shea butter, castor seed oil. Some people are allergic to beeswax in lip balms, but otherwise this seems pretty good."

"Vaseline Lip Therapy [...] is still the best lip treatment I have ever tried. There is nothing that does to my lips what Vaseline Lip Therapy does. So if it's a question of just moisturizing lip treatment, I would pick drugstore for this option."

"If you would like something even more occlusive and truly the best at keeping your lips from feeling dry for as long as possible, out of everything I've ever tried in my entire life, Vaseline Lip Therapy is it. While it lacks the extra luxurious experience that you get with Laneige, it makes up for it in what it does for your lips."

"Vaseline is one of the most inert safe products you can put around your lips. It's one of the best things for lips, especially if you struggle with dryness, chapped lip, and have sensitive skin because it's just petroleum jelly and doesn't have any preservatives. So that is always kind of my safe default recommending to patients to use on their lips to keep their lips protected and moisturized."
