Ratings & Reviews

Here's what customers think
  • The original Kiehl's Lip Balm #1 formula was highly praised by loyal customers for its exceptional moisturizing and protective properties.
  • The recent reformulation has been met with widespread disappointment, as the new version is described as thin, greasy, and drying.
  • Many customers feel the new formula is a poor substitute and are urging the brand to bring back the original.
  • While a minority still find the current lip balm moderately moisturizing, the overall sentiment is that the reformulation has significantly diminished the product's quality and effectiveness.

Don’t buy this!

Don’t buy this! I tried to use my lip balm tonight and a steady stream of liquid poured out of the tube, ugh!! Plus the new formulation pales in comparison to the old one— it’s going in the trash. I’ve been a loyal Kiehl’s customer for 35 plus years, but won’t buy their products again. Too bad, it’s used to be a great company.

Wouldn’t recommend

Has a nice feel at first but unfortunately dries the lips out severely.

All of their products are made for all skin types

I love all of kiehl's packaging, effectiveness, performance, scents, and long list of products to choose from. I have used this brand for more than 30 years and I have to brag about how pleasant every aspect of owning their products are. There is not a single product manufactured by this company who is sure to be in the skin game for years to come that I can even imagine saying negative about.

Not moisturizing at all!

Beyond bad! How could anyone like this? Perhaps this was reformulated? Please skip unless you like a thin balm that dries your lips

New formula

Do not be misled by the packaging. This is not the same formula, the product is not the same color or texture as before. This gave me an immediate allergic reaction and cheilitis.

New formula ruined this product!

I have used this product consistently for 30+ years and recently stocked up again, not realizing the formula is completely different now. Kiehl's absolutely ruined this product -- it dried out my lips to the point of them peeling. Returning all of the tubes I bought and will have to search for a new lip balm to rely on. So sad about this!

Good basic lip balm that works

Love this product. The applicator isn’t my favorite but the overall product is great. It keeps my lips hydrated and shiny. I definitely recommend this product and all things from this brand.
