Details & care

What it is: An intensive lip treatment that moisturizes extra-dry lips for up to 24 hours and is clinically-proven to help repair the look of damaged lips.

What it does: This best-selling formula instantly replenishes and recovers dry, peeling lips thanks to smoothing sea fennel extract, protective orange extract and hydrating hyaluronic acid spheres. The ultra-nourishing formula acts as a soothing balm, sinking in to remove dry flakes while enhancing volume for a plumping effect. Lips are left visibly fuller and healthier.

Research results:
In a clinical assessment on 30 subjects during four weeks of use:
- This treatment was clinically-proven to repair the appearance of lips
In an instrumental test on 10 subjects:
- This treatment was proven to intensely moisturize for 24 hours
In a self-assessment on 30 subjects after four weeks of use:
- 97% reported improved elasticity and smoothness
- 100% felt it removed dry flakes and improved dry lips

How to use: Apply to your lips throughout the day as needed.

like butter

I was very skeptical about a $26 lip balm, but I have to say it’s really nice. It goes on very smooth and silky with ideal thickness (not so thin that it absorbs/disappears too fast, not too thick to be sticky or migrate into or around your mouth). It also smells really pleasant, and instantly makes my lips feel hydrated. I only just got it, so can’t speak to how long it stays on, but I’m glad I finally got this. I also haven’t tried a lot of fancy lip balms, so I can’t say if it’s really worth the price tag, but it feels a lot nicer than my Burt’s beeswax balms. I’d probably buy this again.

This doesn’t get into thenlips. It sits on top and wears off quickly, needing to be reapplied frequently. I’m not sure why everyone loves this so much. I prefer my chapstick brand to this. It’s a fancy, expensively packaged, subpar lip balm in my opinion.

It WORKS, WORKS, WORKS!!

I have dry lips and I always have some kind of balm to use on them, or lipstick. This is the first product that has actually healed my lips. I have used Carmex for years, and Fresh is so much better. I've used Caudalie, La Mer, and so many others. This Fresh Lip Therapy healed the dryness on my lips within 1-2 weeks. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that there is so little product in one tube, it is very soft, and it is used up so quickly (for $25). I apply it 2-4 times a day, and alternate with the tinted lip therapy also. I love that the lid screws on, so it never gets loose in my purse. I just think the price should be a bit lower, or you should get more in one tube.

Good but not Great

I've had severely dry lips for years. I decided to try this based on other reviews. I will say that this is the best product I've used so far because it locks in moisture longer. I apply it 3 - 4 times a day and my lips don't peel as much but peeling does still occur. I would say this product has improved my lips about 50%.

Great chapstick.

Most expensive chapstick on the planet but my lips love it. I use morning and night for lip therapy. This is definitely a good find for the gals who don't like wearing lipstick.

you need this!!!!

I have tried every lip balm/treatment ever made, and if you haven't tried this one, you should. After a brutal cold winter, our lips get ravaged. Put this on a few times a day, and you'll have beautiful smooth, lush lips -- rough and chappy lips will be gone. It's a little more expensive. but it's worth every penny. And be sure to get the larger size, 015 oz. And maybe a couple to have around the house and in your purse. (Smells terrific, and glides over lips.)

The Best Lip Products Available!!

The best line of lip products bar none. This is my 5,000th tube. I have nothing bad to say about it. Love this clear one, love their colored varieties too -- it's the only lipstick I wore before masks were de rigeur and lipstick a thing of the past. I wear this colorless variety at night and at home as a needed moisturizer for lips. The best!!

It is a winner

I really like this lip balm. Even my 4 year old grandson will use this as it is so creamy and it is unflavored. I like that it is in a tube and you do not have to apply with your finger, It is reasonably priced and works as well if not better than the more expensive brands,

Favorite lip product

I always repurchase. Nothing else compares, I use every night before bed and that's the only time I need. Not sticky or oily and doesn't make lips drier like some balms. Also, no over the top fruit or flavoring smells/taste.

Best Chapstick

I've been using the Fresh Advanced Therapy balm for about a year, and it has done wonders for my formerly dry, cracked lips. It is incredibly hydrating and lasts for several hours. Also I don't feel addicted to this chap stick and can go without reapplying it for several hours. However do not use it right before applying any kind of lip color as it is quite creamy when applied and the color wont stick easily. But it absorbs very quickly and leaves the lips soft and supple.

Lip Smoother

I was searching for a lip treatment, "modestly priced", that would condition my aging lips and provide much needed moisture and smoothing beneath lipstick. Since I've only been using Sugar Advanced Therapy Lip Treatment for one week, I can't tell yet if it is actually "correcting" lip wrinkles.... but it certainly makes my lips look conditioned and smoother beneath my lipstick! It seems to remain on my lips for awhile and feels wonderful. I would definitely repurchase again.

Pricey but worth it!

I just started using this Sugar Lip Treatment but my lips have never felt so soft and moisturized! I live in HOT south Florida and my lips get very chapped and dry from the heat - this lip therapy has solved my sore lip issues as well as made my lips look plump and beautiful. I love the scent and it lasts a LONG time! Here's my secret for using it and making it last - just twist the cap enough so the balm "stick" is barely over the top of the case and apply liberally - you won't break the stick and won't apply too much. This product will definitely become a regular in my beauty routine!
