First of all, this was the first lip scrub I ever purchased, so I don't really have anything to compare it with. The packaging is super cute, which is always a good thing. As for the product itself, I think it's good. I have been trying to take more care of my lips lately, as I have very dry, damaged lips. I use this 1-3 times per week, depending on when I feel like I need it, along with a lip balm. While I haven't noticed anything since I started using my lip balm (which I am going to change for a lip balm on this website, too), I have started to see changes since I started using this lip srub. It doesn't sting at all, the taste isn't bad (I usually avoid tasting products but I accidentally licked my lips after applying this and it didn't taste awful so that was a nice surprise haha), and it does remove the dead skin I have on my lips. Will probably repurchase once I run out of it, which isn't going to be anytime soon, as you need very little product for it to be effective. :)
