does it work?? anew vitamin c smoothing lip scrub

I've tried many different lip scrubs over the years. Some worked well, some were too abrasive, and some didn't do much at all. Fairly recently, my mom gave me some products from the Anew Vitamin C line, including the Vitamin C Smoothing Lip Scrub. Since I was in desperate need of a new lip scrub, it was perfect timing. But the question remains...does it work?? It is time to find out. Here is everything you need to know about this Vitamin C themed lip scrub from Anew. 

The lip scrub packaging is simple but effective. I love that the box is a bright orange and has a picture of orange slices on the side. It is such a small little detail, but it ties in the Vitamin C theme with ease. As for the product itself, it comes in a plastic jar with a frosted finish. The directions on the scrub are straightforward and easy to follow: massage onto lips and wipe off with a damp cloth. According to the brand, the Vitamin C Smoothing Lip Scrub is "enriched with antioxidant Vitamin C and sugar crystals. This lip scrub gently buffs to remove dead skin cells for smoother and softer lips. Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid helps to visibly brighten dull skin over time." The claims are certainly good, but not all lip scrubs are created equally. 

So, does it work?? Yes! Thank goodness for that. This lip scrub has a light but pleasant scent, is not too rough, and does an excellent job of exfoliating the lips. It is easy to apply, easy to remove, and does exactly what the brand promised it would do. It shouldn't be shocking, but a lot of times, the brand claims are not accurate. That is why it feels so nice when something actually works as advertised. There is a good amount of product included, with 0.70 ounces. Since only a small amount of the scrub is needed each time (this is something that I have been using once or twice a week. Not too often) this is a product that will last. The expiration date is listed on the jar as May 2024 (love that there is actually an expiration date written on the product) so there is plenty of time for me to make good use of the Anew Vitamin C Smoothing Lip Scrub.
