Our verdict
A nightly, cream-based lip treatment built around vitamin E and ceramides meant to condition lips while you sleep, positioned as a step up from a basic daytime lip stick rather than an everyday balm.
Check price on AmazonBest for
Anyone who wants a dedicated nighttime lip treatment to pair with a daytime balm, especially if dry, flaky lips tend to show up after sleep.
Skip if
You want a simple, all-day carry stick for touch-ups, since this is a cream formula meant to be applied before bed rather than reapplied throughout the day.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other anti-aging skincare: serums, night creams, facial peels, wrinkle patches and anti-aging devices we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
["This is Burt's Bees Original Overnight Intensive Lip Treatment, a 0.25 ounce cream priced around $10. Unlike a wax stick, it comes in a small jar and is built around vitamin E as its active ingredient, with essential ceramides and peppermint rounding out the formula.", 'It is marketed toward the appearance of fine lines around the lips, though that is a cosmetic conditioning claim rather than a treatment claim. The paraben free formula is meant to be swept on before bed, giving the lips several uncontested hours to absorb the ceramides and vitamin E without lip stick reapplication getting in the way.', "With a 4.5 rating from close to 17,000 reviews, it has one of the larger review counts in this category, suggesting the overnight cream format has found a steady, repeat-buying audience beyond Burt's Bees' classic stick balms."]
Pros
- Vitamin E and ceramides support lip conditioning overnight
- Cream texture feels richer than a typical wax stick, good for very dry lips
- Paraben free formulation
- Backed by a large 4.5 rating from about 17,000 reviews
- Compact 0.25 ounce size fits easily on a nightstand
Cons
- Cream jar format is less convenient for daytime touch-ups than a stick
- Peppermint in the formula may not suit those with sensitive or reactive lips
- Marketed toward the look of fine lines, not a substitute for hydration throughout the day
Performance notes
Vitamin E functions as an antioxidant that can help condition the thin skin of the lips, while the essential ceramides in the formula are meant to support the lips' natural moisture barrier overnight, when there is no lip stick reapplication to rely on. Peppermint is included mainly for a light cooling sensation and scent rather than as a treatment ingredient. Because it comes in a cream jar rather than a stick, it works best swept on with a fingertip before bed and left to absorb, rather than carried for daytime touch-ups.
What buyers say
A 4.5 rating from close to 17,000 reviews puts this among the more widely reviewed products in this batch, suggesting the overnight cream format has built genuine, repeat demand rather than a short-lived spike in interest.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a stick balm or a cream?
It is a cream, packaged in a small jar rather than a stick, and it is meant to be applied before bed as an overnight treatment rather than carried for daytime touch-ups.
What do the vitamin E and ceramides do for lips?
Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant that can help condition dry lip skin, while the ceramides in the formula are meant to support the lips' natural moisture barrier while you sleep. Neither is a substitute for daytime lip care.
Does it help with fine lines around the lips?
The brand markets it toward the appearance of fine lines, though this is a cosmetic conditioning claim rather than a treatment claim. Think of it as extra overnight moisture support rather than a fix for existing lines.
