I recently took the Neosporin Lip Health 3-Day Challenge to try out their Lip Health Overnight Renewal Therapy and the Lip Health Daily Hydration Therapy products.
Neosporin Lip Health Daily Hydration Therapy is clinically proven to restore visibly healthier lips in three days according to their website. It contains antioxidants and essential lipids, peptide and emollients to help strengthen lips, and glycerin to attract and retain lip moisture. It also has SPF 20 to protect against sunburn, which is a big plus for me since I live at high altitude. Also, it has no parabens or other preservatives, which I like. I wasn’t able to find it in the Cosmetics Database, but if it’s like Neosporin’s other lip products, it probably has a low to moderate rating.
So far so good, right? Well, unfortunately I didn’t like the Daily Hydration Therapy product. Too much white cream comes out of the applicator when you trying to use it. The cream doesn’t blend in well to your lips, either. Instead, you’re left with a white ring of gook around your lips if you apply while not looking in a mirror – not attractive! Even though I like that it isn’t artificially sweetened, it doesn’t have a pleasant taste. It also feels gritty on my lips and doesn’t feel like the product is being absorbed.
However, I loved Neosporin’s Lip Health Overnight Renewal Therapy. This is a product I’d use both day and night. It’s greasy and thick, which is what I prefer in any sort of night cream. Since you apply it with your finger out of the pot, the cream blends in and doesn’t leave a white ring around your lips. It doesn’t have an odd taste either. I could feel this product working and have started using it in the morning when I put on my makeup. Like the day version,it doesn’t contain parabens or other preservatives.
To take the Neosporin Lip Health 3-Day Challenge yourself, register to get a coupon good for $3 off any Neosporin Lip Health product. Since the products retail for about $4.99 each, that's a big savings.
More cool stuff from J&J
While you're treating yourself to some beauty items, you may want to pick up another terrific Johnson & Johnson product, BAND-AID Princess & The Frog adhesive bandages for the kids. They are in stores now for approximately $3.49.
With Mardi Gras coming up (the movie took place in New Orleans after all) these may be a fun and safer alternative to beads for your children. Or stick a few in your purse or in the kids’ backpacks so minor cuts and scrapes do not get in the way of a good time. Honestly, I won’t give you the ol’ fish eye if I see YOU sporting a few. Princess Tiana is one cool gal.

I also received samples of the Lip Health and BAND-AID products from Johnson & Johnson's PR agency.
