The balm smells lovely. There is a lot in the tin; it will last a long time. I apply it primarily to my lips, and rubbing into my temples feels nice. I have acne prone skin but this has never caused me to break out. My main issue with this product is that though the smell is nice and calming, once I close the tin and shut my eyes, I can barely smell it. Even if I slather it onto my lips. I've even put a thick layer right under my nose (not the most comfortable sensation) and I still feel like I'm barely getting a whiff. So purely because of this, its effects are limited. Everyone's sense of smell is different so maybe others don't have this issue, but for me it is too faint.
