Nivea Essential Care Lip Balm Review

As far as I remember, I never faced the problem of chapped or flaky lips as a teenager, except for winter season. Therefore, my lips required no attention throughout the year. As I started growing older, the lip problems like pigmentation, flaky skin, ceases etc. started. Therefore, I need to keep them moisturized with utmost care and exfoliate them from time to time. In this whole process, I require a very effective lip balm that would take care of my lips. I am so thankful to Diva Likes for gifting me this beautiful lip balm. Here's my thought on this product.

My Experience With Nivea Essential Care Lip Balm:

The lip balm comes in a twist up case with a blue cap. The packaging is extremely classy and I love carrying it around in my wallet every time. The lip balm looks like a white stick, though it is absolutely transparent when swatched over hands and lips. The most lovable fact about this lip balm is that it doesn't give a whitish cast on my lips even when I apply it heavily.

The texture is absolutely creamy and slightly waxy. It glides over the lips like butter. It has a slight orange kind of smell which you will love. It won't bother even the sensitive nose. The balm keeps my lips moisturized for a good 4 hours and after that I feel the need to reapply it again. It won't survive heavy meals but it will be enough for little sips. What I noticed is that, the balm won't heal your already chapped lips but it is effective enough to prevent it. It is preferable to apply on recently exfoliated lips. The lip balm doesn't have SPF and therefore it is advisable to use it after dusk. It is definitely a great option for an overnight lip balm. Overall, the product isn't great but is okay.

Pros Of Nivea Essential Care Lip Balm:

• Classy travel-friendly packing.
• Smooth creamy texture for buttery application.
• Lovely orange kind of smell.
• No whitish cast when heavily applied.
• Prevents the lips from drying.
• Staying power is around 4 hours.

Cons Of Nivea Essential Care Lip Balm:

• Slightly waxy and therefore feels heavy on lips.
• No SPF.
• Doesn't cure the flaky lips. It only prevents from further drying.

Diva Likes Rating:

3.5/5

Final Note:

Nivea is no doubt a good brand with caring products. I read somewhere that you should not use SPF products at night because it has too many chemicals involved. So I often use this lip balm before hitting the bed as it keeps my lips moisturized throughout the night. Overall, it is a decent lip balm you would love to have.
