Vaseline Original Lip Therapy comes as a 20g tin, here in a three pack, and sits in the brand’s classic petroleum jelly range rather than the flavoured or tinted balms that compete with it. It’s aimed at simple barrier care, sealing in moisture when lips are dry, chapped, or windburnt. The texture is non-sticky and non-greasy, so it spreads easily without feeling heavy, which suits people who dislike waxier lip sticks.

Who is this for?

If you want an everyday lip balm with minimal fuss, this is a solid choice. The occlusive formula helps reduce moisture loss, so it works well overnight, under lipstick, or on cold-weather days. The tins are small enough for pockets and bags, and having three means one can live at home, one at work, and one in a coat pocket.

• Pack size: 3 x 20g tins, useful if you get through balm quickly or want spares.
• Finish: Clear, so it suits anyone and won’t alter lip colour.
