I have used Nivea lipbalm for as long as I can remember (definitely pre-children and eldest is now 14 so at least 15 years+). They changed the formula a year or so ago and the new formula is absolutely disgusting. When I realised, I bought as many old formula tubes as I could find and have been using them up.
I ran out in August and since then have tried several different brands not taking to any of them. I eventually settled on Boots own brand (Packaging looks identical to Nivea) and while it was ok, my lips still weren’t great.
This week I found 1 last old formula Nivea in the back of a drawer and within a day of using it, my lips were totally revitalised and feel healthy for the first time in months.
I know I can’t buy any more, but am really not sure about going back to Boots own brand again.
Has anyone else found an as-good-as alternative?
