I which there was a third choice when it comes to whether I'd recommend or not. I chose no just because there are better choices out there but I wouldn't tell someone to stay away from it because it's not necessarily bad, just average. So VERY average. It is a lipbalm and that's it. It doesn't moisturize more than any other lipbalm, it doesn't repair, it doesn't have a pleasant scent (it smells a little synthetic), etc. I would say this is exactly the type of lipbalm I would give to my husband who just needs something to sooth chapped lips on the go with nothing fancy, nothing "healing". Just something for the right here and now to fix a problem. This is the type of product you buy at the gas station in a pinch, not something I would specifically go look for.
