Personally, I didn't feel that it offered significant hydration. It is a balm with a subtle scent and color, with SPF15 sun protection factor, and minimal hydration.

I am not used to wearing lipstick, lip balm, or any product that is meant for coloring or caring for the lips. However, I tried this specific lip balm and changed my mind. It has a wonderful and fresh mandarin scent and leaves a beautiful color that matches the packaging. From the first application, I feel like I have perfectly moisturized lips and they have a very nice and not heavy color. Additionally, I used it as a blush, as it goes perfectly with my skin tone. If you can get it, do it, there are also other colors available from what I saw. The only thing for sure is that I will buy more again!
