Arbonne's Intelligence Lip Treatment with Raspberry seed oil |
Now I use a shea butter lip balm every day (Arbonne of course, those who know me know how loyal I am to this brand) and my lips haven't felt as bad the last couple of years. I also used another Arbonne product that was a lip scrub and salve, but lip scrubs should only be used once a week (some people say 2-3 times a week, but for cracked lips, my research comes down firmly on no more than once a week).
When someone mentioned the Arbonne Intelligence Lip Treatment I was intrigued, but I didn't actually get it until a few months ago - just before our Australian winter began.
It's suitable for all skin types and is designed to help promote younger looking lips, but I was interested in the claim "Deeply hydrates, moisturizes and protects the natural moisture barrier ..." and winter seemed the perfect time to trial it for myself.
The tube seemed quite small when I received it, but having used a lot (according to my husband too
many!) of Arbonne products, I knew that a little would probably go a long way. I squeezed out an amount that would fit on a pinhead and rubbed it on my lips - it felt really nice like a moisturiser combined with lipstick but one with no stickiness or tackiness about it.

I certainly didn't need my lip balm, although I kept it in my bag and applied some after lunch.
I used the lip treatment every day for a week and my lips definitely felt softer, I decided to continue using it for another week and then I switched to using it every couple of days.
If you get dry lips in winter I really recommend trying this and you'll know if it's working after a week which is great because Arbonne gives all of its products a 45 90 day money-back guarantee so if you don't like it you can send it back!
It also says that it can reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles and plumps the lips' appearance so that they look younger - I'm really not sure about that. I feel like they look a little plumper, but that could be because they are smoother as they aren't as dry so the jury on that is out as far as I'm concerned.
I know that some people use this in place of lipstick when they are going for a natural daytime look and other people use it as a primer before adding their lipstick.
The key ingredients in this lip treatment are the following botanicals:
- Alfalfa extract
- Chicory root extract
- Ginger
- Cocoa butter
- Raspberry seed oil
- Cloudberry extract
It is now springtime here in Australia and I still have the small tube so it really does go a long way. What do you do for dry lips (if you suffer from them)?
