Rosebud Perfume Co. Lip Salve-Rosebud, 2 pack

I'm pretty stingy when it comes to reviews. I don't gush, and if I LOVE something, it usually gets a four-star, not five. I'm giving Smith's Rosebud Salve full FIVE-STAR, no holds barred. I did customer service for years (on phone and in person) and had to talk all day. Chapsticks and Vaseline lip balm weren't enough. Then I found Smith's Rosebud Salve, and it was just. WOW. I put a tiny bit over my lips before I sleep, then another tiny bit just before work, and et voila! No more painfully chapped lips. I usually don't even have to reapply during the workday. Just once in the morning, once a night. It's AMAZING. And it works on EVERYTHING, not just dry lips. Got a painful crack on your dry heel? Put a generous dollop over it and cover with a band-aid. Extra dry hands during winters? Spread a tiny bit over your poor hands before you sleep. It WORKS. For those who don't like using the tin, Smith's Rosebud Salve does come in a tube form (I carry the tube for work, keep the tin at home). It works quite well, but I've generally found the tin has better consistency, and I like the old-fashioned design. I always keep my house stocked with at least two extra tins and one extra tube. Honestly, I don't even remember how I survived the winters before this salve.

I’ve been using Smith’s Rrosebud Salve for many years (decades!) and I still love it. It’s very versatile, and you only need a little bit so it lasts a long time. I mostly use it as a lip balm, with a thicker coating at night. Although it’s pink in the tin, it looks sheer on the lips. The scent is subtle but divine. I also use this on my elbows and around my cuticles, and put a tiny bit under my eyes at night after eye cream as an occlusive layer to lock in the moisture. It can also be used as a highlighter on cheekbones, and feels good if you have a little cut or scrape. I prefer this thicker formula in the tin to the one in the tube, but I have both. I highly recommend!

The best lip balm on the market, in my opinion.

Love this salve, it’s a longtime favorite for keeping lips moist

I absolutely love the rose bud salve, I keep one beside my bed so I can put it on my lips to moisturize my lips through the night. It makes a huge difference in my lips. They no longer look dry and cracked from the cold or the sun. And you know how your elbows get rough sometimes in the winter. Rose bud salve works beautifully on your elbows too. I was very excited to learn that Amazon carries the rose bud salve as it is difficult to find at the normal stores where you expect to find it. A wonderful product. You won't be disappointed.

I love the smell and it works good as well.

Have used this for many years

I love the feel of this balm. However, I don't think I'm getting much moisturizing effect from it. As someone else mentioned, it seems to make my lips dryer so I find myself using more of it and applying it many times throughout the day. But I'm still not going to stop using it because I love the smell and feel of it. I've been using this stuff since I was a little girl.
