OKeeffes Unscented Repair Cracked Stick Reviews Summary

Effectiveness

Pros:

• "I could literally see a difference overnight! My lips were totally healed within a week."
• "I could feel and see the difference after one application!!"
• "These lip repair sticks are great! Got these for our Grandkids and they work wonders."
• "I've had a split lip for over 6 months that Chapstick didn't do anything for. I bought the O'Keefe's lip repair stick and within a week, my lip was healed."
• "This stuff saved my lips! They would not stop cracking in the same spot and bleeding over and over."
• "This lip repair healed it: stopped bleeding within 24 hours, stopped being visible after 48 hours and healed up within three days."
• "After one day of using O'Keeffe's my lips were back to those soft, supple lips of my youth, it's wonderful!"

Cons:

• "This time all 4 had a bad smell and taste."
• "It's ok, but breaks up into little chunks when you're applying it. Not had this brand before, unlikely to buy again."
• "I was expecting a lot from this lip repair stick because the hand cream works very well. But it didn't last very long, and didn't make my lips feel super moisturized."
• "Disappointing. If you're looking for a miracle to solve your chronic chapped lips, unfortunately, this isn't it."
• "I found I was re-applying this product more often than my usual brand of Carmex chap stick."
• "I'm only giving three because I was sent the wrong product - instead of receiving the stick, I received the tube."
• "I have to reapply every hour or two, but that’s okay."

Texture & Application

Pros:

• "It goes on a bit thick and greasy but after about 20 minutes you can wipe off any excess and it lasts about 6 hours or more."
• "The blam doesn't feel oily or leave a sheen; it becomes matte after a few minutes; it’s undetectable."
• "Keeps lips moist and hydrated. This is not a heavy lip balm which is nice because lips do not feel sticky or gummy. Love this product."
• "I thought this lip balm may be too waxy and difficult to apply - not true! Moistens & repairs lips without all the goop but still easy to apply!"
• "It’s non greasy which I love, no scent which is best for cracked lips, and it feels really moisturizing."
• "This one coats your lips in a buttery consistency and feels a little waterproof."
• "By far the best chapstick i’ve ever used! It is unscented, smooth and the texture is a perfect consistency."

Cons:

• "It is a little sticky, but it sure stays on your lips!"
• "It gives some smoothing if you use it over and over and over in the same day, but not much."
• "I love this brands moisturisers so thought this would be really good. However I don’t find it glides onto the lips easily - it seems hard and you really have to rub it on a lot to feel anything on your lips."
• "The product didn't go on smooth at all, it broke apart and crumbled."
• "Very dry lip balm - doesn't feel like it's adding any moisture/comfort to the lips."
• "The stick itself is kind of flimsy, the balm is somewhat brittle and keeps breaking off during use."
• "I find that it comes out onto your lips in chunks, so not a smooth coating like you would expect."

Design & Packaging

Pros:

• "The shape makes sense and the scent is good, too."
• "The oval shape fits lips better when you apply."
• "When you spin the bottom the balm goes out OK, but then when you spin it the other way around it just hangs at the same point."
• "The twist mechanism works well and hasn’t shown any issues of malfunctioning."
• "This is the only lip balm Chapstick I use because it is so moisturizing and lasts a long while. There’s also no smell which I like."
• "I love it's not scented or flavored (my son won't make his lips worse with constant licking)."
• "It’s tasteless, unscented and colourless when you use it which I thought was nice as I’ve had issues with scented lip balms in the past."

Cons:

• "It’s not your typical style container. It’s oddly oval-shaped. I have noticed it dips in the centre."
• "It smells weird, like a glue stick. It's shape is also very strange, like an eye-shape, that I don't think helps in the application, just odd."
• "This product also arrived with a lot of the lip balm stuck in the cap. It probably melted at some point, and then got stuck in the cap."
• "I ordered 3 O'Keeffe's Original Lip Repair Stick and got 1 O'Keeffe's Original Lip Repair Stick and 2 O'Keeffe's K0800101 Original Lip Repair Tube. I'm so disappointed! How does that even happen??"
• "These are NOT authentic O'keefe lip balm's. The labels on the product are different, and the lid is not the same color as the authentic products."
• "Seller sent me EXPIRED and stinky O’Keefe’s Lip Repair."
• "While it’s good, taking the negatives aside, you can get generic balms for a few pounds that function just as well and in a standard styled container that doesn’t require awkward angles to keep the shape uniform."

Value & Cost-Effectiveness

Pros:

• "It’s pricey but it saved me and helped my son heal!"
• "I've opened 3 (home, work, car) and so far I have yet to use more than 1/4 of any of them! This stuff lasts crazy long and keeps my lips looking good!"
• "It will stay on through eating and drinking."
• "I wish I had tried this years ago. It's so affordable and works so incredibly well! I have severe chapped lips. Everything I bought, I had to reapply so many times. I highly recommend."
• "Plus this product is like 3 bucks! (I bought it at the local drug store)."
• "It’s mote cost affective to buy here than at the supermarket too."
• "If you are lucky enough to get authentic O'Keeffe's lip balm, it is really top quality and is my favorite lip balm."

Cons:

• "I am really getting tired of paying more than retail price for items in order to have the convenience of prime shipping."
• "Nivea is a much better tube balm."
• "seller did not follow their own directions as advertised for sale. I am very disappointed in this purchase."
• "Saccharin? Why in the world would there need to be an artificial sweetener in lip balm? Wish the ingredients had been listed, would have never purchased. Waste of money."
• "I purchased this because of the reviews. After using it it seems to work only as basic chapstick with my lips peeling more often after use. Also note that the price is on the higher end for just a small stick."
• "Even though the price is a little high compared to other lip balms, this is the only thing that helps me with my dry cracked lips."
• "Is it worth the usual price without the offer? I’d disagree with that, but thankfully, the best place to purchase is Amazon if you want a bargain, as it’s cheaper."

Safety & Reactions

Pros:

• "This stuff is honestly miraculous. It's not meant to be just a standard every day chapstick."
• "This is the only lip product that soothes and has healed my lips."
• "This lip balm is absolutely amazing. It immediately soothed the pain within seconds and helped it to heal quickly, within days."
• "This is the only product that within about an hour of applying it actually made my lips feel better."
• "It actually moisturizes your lips. A true holy grail."
• "No taste that upsets the stomach."
• "This is the best lip balm I have ever used. It really does repair chapped lips."
