Lip balm is a necessity to prevent chapped and peeling lips. On the other hand, I am aware that I have “weak lips,” so to speak, and have made it a habit to apply lip balm every day, but my lips still get rough from time to time. I had given up on the idea that it was just my constitution, but it was an encounter with Obagi’s lip balm that saved my life.

The savior of my rough lips...Obagi Dermapower X Lip Essence
I have been using mainly Mentholatum and Mentum, which are often sold cheaply at Don Quijote and drugstores, in the price range of not more than 400 yen at most. One day, as I was casually applying my usual Mentholatum at my desk in the editorial office, Konno, a female editorial staff member, said to me, “Mr. Mitsui, you were concerned about your rough lips. If you like, I can give you some Obagi to try.” I was given a bottle of Obagi Dermapower X Lip Essence.

I was skeptical, but I tried it right away… I was shocked. The moisture is in a different dimension from the lip balms I have used in the past. And once applied, the moisture lasted so long that it was not an exaggeration to say that I did not have to reapply it for half a day. I have found it to be a wonderfully good product, but I have actually looked into what makes this product so great, so I will introduce it to you.
What's great about Obagi Derma Power X Lip Essence 1Charismatic dermatologist relied on by celebrities in Beverly Hills and Rohto Pharmaceutical teamed up to develop this product
Dr. Zein Obagi, a renowned dermatologist based in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, USA. Dr. Obagi is a proponent of the ” SHR (Skin Health Restoration) Theory,” which focuses on the skin’s innate ability to renew itself and approaches health from the inside out, to develop medical-grade skin care products. Early products were offered through some dermatology clinics, but today Obagi brand products are available in more than 35 countries worldwide. In Japan, the company teamed up with Rohto Pharmaceutical in 2000 to launch Obagi products in a form suitable for Japanese skin. The cosmetics business was an untested field for Rohto, but the success of “Skin Labo” and “Obagi” is said to have paved the way for the company’s entry into the cosmetics industry. Incidentally, Obagi Dermapower X Lip Essence was launched quite recently, in 2015.
Obagi Dermapower X Lip Essence is amazing 2Even beauty charismatics approve! Superior ingredients prevent cracking and increase firmness and elasticity.
“Lip balm is mainly made from Vaseline, and the other ingredients are just an added bonus.” That was my perception, but I had to change it after experiencing the benefits of this product. Obagi’s Lip features an ingredient formula that addresses the aging care of lips that suffer from chapping and lack of firmness and elasticity, and in addition to vitamin A derivative*1 and elastin*2, it also contains collagen and hyaluronic acid. According to Nishijima, a female editorial staff member who is a beauty fanatic, it is rare to find a lip product with all these ingredients. In my case, not only have my lips become less dry, but deep vertical lines on my lips have improved and become less noticeable since using Obagi lip balm. Incidentally, Minami Tanaka, who is very influential in the beauty field, is said to have told in an interview by the beauty magazine ”MAQUIA” that she loves this product and has repeated more than 20 bottles.

The price of this product is 1,650 yen (tax included), and I can’t deny that I honestly thought it was quite expensive for my sense that I have only used cheap lip balms. On the other hand, if you apply a little bit, you can feel the effect, and I think most men do not want their lips to look too shiny, so using a small amount rather than a large amount is the basic rule. For these reasons, I think it lasts quite a long time, especially when used by men. Also, with inexpensive lip balms, I often lost them and had to repurchase them, but with lip balms in this price range, I treat them with care, so the frequency of repurchases due to loss is expected to decrease drastically. From the above, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the cost performance is not bad at all.
