this is moisturizing. it will stay on your lips for a long time but i did notice that during hormonal times during the month i would sprout zits around my lip area because of this product (i usually never sprout zits there). the zits were very small, but nevertheless, annoying. The balm has an unpleasant smell and feels like a greasier version of vaseline. it is also yellow.
i think if you want a fragranc-free and clear lip balm you should try Kiehl's baby lipbalm. It is significantly more expensive, but it comes in a tube and has much better quality.
Or you should just stay away from Kiehl's lip balms in general. I never use my Kiehl's lipbalm during the day because it is too likely to smear. Instead, I loyally use chapstick during the day.
