Lipobez Set I got to know the Lipobez brand because my daughter has atopic dermatitis, and they're positioned as the number one brand for dry, sensitive, atopic skin.xa0

Beforexa0
My lip skin
My lip skin is pretty delicate, and I always get flakes and cracks on the back of my lips. That's why I need a product that provides extra protection and moisturizing, especially during the winter when I'm using retinol, and also when I'm out in the wind and sun.
Application
Option 1: Using it as a night mask.
Application
I apply the balm pretty generously at night, and it absorbs completely within 2-3 minutes. If I use a smaller amount, it absorbs almost instantly without any stickiness or residue. However, when I lick my lips, I can taste the cream, which isn't the most pleasant experience. So, I apply it right before bed. If I wear it during the day, the thick layer can sometimes slide off. But more on that later.
AfterI'm really impressed with how well this balm softens my skin overnight. It doesn't just moisturize, but also nourishes and restores my skin.
Before and AfterBut if I don't use the balm for 4-5 days, the accumulated effect wears off, and I start to get cracks, dryness, and flakiness again.
With lipstickI can wear even the most finicky lipstick in the morning, and it'll highlight my lip imperfections.
Option 2: Using it as a regular balm.
Before
ApplyingApplying
I carry it in my pocket or purse as a balm. I apply a small amount, and it absorbs instantly without leaving any residue or greasiness.
AfterWith this balm, I can just protect my lips from the wind and cold without having to worry about moisturizing them.
Before and AfterI've also been using it as a lip scrub to remove dead skin cells.
Before
BeforeI have a problem with chapped lips in the middle of my mouth, and if I don't remove the dead skin cells, I have to pick at them with my teeth, which can lead to cuts.
ApplyingApplying
I apply the balm generously to my lips, especially where I have a chapped spot, which is usually the back of my lips. Then, after 10-15 minutes, I gently rub the area with my finger to remove the dead skin cells, adding more balm if needed. It's kind of like using a lip scrub, but I have to be careful not to scrub too hard and cause a cut. I also apply the balm before bed.
AfterI've found that after using this product, the crust on my acne scars starts to soften and disappears within a night, and my sensitive skin on that area heals overnight.
Before and AfterOption 4: I use it spot-treat acne scars to soften the crust and hydrate the area
BeforeAfter popping especially painful pimples, a crust forms, and if you don't moisturize and soften it, you're left with post-acne marks.
ApplicationApplication
I apply it spot-treat on the crust at night or whenever I can during the day.
AfterResult: Within two days of using it, the crust gets softer and falls off when I wash my face. After that kind of care, the risk of getting a post-acne spot and scar decreases.Before and AfterVariation 5: Using it to heal cracks on my lips.
BeforeCracks and cold sores on my lips usually bother me in the spring, and this balm has been a lifesaver.
ApplicationApplicationI apply it generously to the crack during the day and at night.
Result: it gets rid of cracks on my lips. It takes me around 24 hours to see the results.
AfterAlso, the crust gets softer and hurts less immediately after application.
Variation 6: Using it as an eye cream.
BeforeFor me, the fourth option is more of a SOS product. I've got a bunch of eye creams with active ingredients like retinol. And sometimes, my skin starts to dry out and get all tight, forming wrinkles from the dryness.
AfterApplication
I apply the balm to my under-eye skin in a grain-of-rice amount. It absorbs instantly, right when I apply it.
Result: It smooths out my under-eye skin, calms it down, and gives it a gentle nourishment, removing flakes and redness.
