So the only other lipscrub i have tried is an elf one. well it was REALLY harsh and would scratch ur lips to filth, and make them bleed. Not only that but some chapped skin would still be left over. i got this and it was not nearly as harsh. so I realized I might not get everything off to the point of bleeding lol which is obviously good but it's a weird feeling to switch from the elf one to this. I find I do need to use a little extra most of the time,  and this won't properly scrub my lips with a tiny small application.
