I’m no lip/skincare expert, but in the last year mine have been awful. Dry “crinkled” split and chewed up. You know what I mean. Nasty.
As many in my position I became addicted to chapstick. The more I applied, the more I needed it.
But layering “stuff” like wax and petroleum is never something I like to do. It never felt good, and it never seemed to help. So I decided to look around for something that might help stop the vicious cycle.
Trying derma E
Department store samples- (you know the kind in fancy packaging that only makes you wonder what exactly goes into them that makes them cost that much…)
We passed on those.
Having used a natural sunscreen and face lotion by a company called “Derma E” in the past, their convenient “Lip Repair Creme” seemed like a natural choice. But not one to spend on skin care for myself, I eventually convinced myself with 5 additional features I considered rare:
(1) derma e’s Lip Repair Cream is a natural product,
(2) It’s made in the USA,
(3) It was on sale for $12 a generous tube, (compared to “Clinique,” Wow! What a saver!)
(4) The healthfood store lady recommended the products, and
(5) It was RETURNABLE.
The money back guarantee and the recommendation from someone who knows them was the deal-maker for me. I decided to give it a whirl.
Results!
This lip repair creme was pretty much unlike anything I’ve ever tried before. Rubbed on like lotion, and totally absorbed in minutes, derma e left nothing but my lips behind. Suddenly I was pleased to be able to smile without an artificial “barrier” on the surface. They were instantly softer, smoother, pliable, with no “greasy” stuff leftover. With elasticity comfortably restored, it appeared as though my lips were being changed from the inside out. A fantastic start.
Day 2, was even better. I didn’t have to apply it nearly as much as I would have chapstick. Only twice did I resort back in a hurried moment, immediately regretting it. I decided to stick to derma e.
After just a few days, I didn’t need anything anymore. My lips were normal. But I used derma e again anyway because… well, it just felt nice. And it looked great. And I wanted to keep that going.
What can I say, I’m a girl.
Mr. Quality, the big skeptic, wasn’t keen on trying this new “lip lotion” for himself. Until I persisted to express how “wonderful” it was. He tried it, and said to me later:
“That lip stuff? That’s good stuff.”
Mr. Quality does NOT give his approval lightly, or without cause.
Proof positive! We had a Quality US Product on our hands.
The Derma Difference
Derma e is a contrast to the temporary masks that totally ignore or aggravate underlying problems. And, UN-like so many “AGE-DEFY” lip gunk on the market, derma e lip creme is not merely another gimicky way to ingest mysterious “patented technologies” (read: CHEMICALS!!) that break the bank and don’t seem to make a difference long term.
While we both still love Blistex for things like sun exposure and genuine “chapped lips” on a windy day, my chronically dry crinkled lips were not being helped by medicated chapstick, even “vitamin” infused versions of them. I think they were actually being hindered by them.
Derma e did what it promised: it repaired, soothed, and fortified my lips using naturally occurring, body friendly and nutritionally sound ingredients so that I could finally end the chapstick dependence.
I’m just glad the first natural product I tried solved my year-long struggle. My lips look great, and they aren’t slathered in gunk!!
Result: A+ on another natural USA made product.
