What the Brand Claims & Key Ingredients
- Both variants offer broad-spectrum sun protection: SPF 50, PA+++ (i.e., UVA + UVB coverage) for lips.
- They include ceramides (e.g., Ceramide NP/AP/EOP) which help restore the lip barrier and lock in moisture.
- Other active ingredients:
- Kojic acid + Niacinamide → aimed at reducing lip pigmentation / dark lips.
- Shea butter, Cocoa butter, Almond/Avocado Oil → for nourishing & softening lips.
- Features emphasised: non-sticky / buttery texture, no parabens, mineral oil-free.
Variant-by-Variant Details
Untinted / Natural Variant
- Finish: Clear or natural colour, no visible tint.
- Ideal for users who want protection & lip care without altering lip colour.
- Good for use day and night; especially useful in harsh conditions since it gives SPF 50.
- Claims to “heal chapped lips,” “moisturise dry lips,” and “fade pigmentation.”
Pros: - High protection with SPF and barrier support via ceramides.
- Works for “functional” lip care rather than cosmetic tinting.
Cons / User Feedback to note: - Some users say the radiation/brightening claim (pigmentation reduction) is slow or minimal. “Now, I have emptied more than 4 tubes of the untinted version … for me it didn’t.”
- Texture can be thick/waxy; may feel heavier than very lightweight lip balms.
Tinted Variant
- Adds a subtle tint / light flush of colour (often pinkish) while providing the same SPF50 + barrier care.
- Useful if you want a bit of colour (instead of totally clear) and still want sun-protection + care.
Pros: - Multi-tasking: moisturise + protect + add slight colour.
- Reviewers appreciate the tint and sun-protection combo. One user: “It glides on smoothly, keeps my lips soft and moisturised for hours … The subtle tint adds a natural flush …”
Cons / User Feedback to flag: - The tint may not suit all skin tones: “The tinted variant? … I can’t really think of any skin tones on which it would look good …”
- Some users found it less effective at pigmentation or even drying for them: “Wasted money on this lip balm please avoid.”
How to Choose Between the Two
- If you don’t want colour and just want lip care + high sun-protection: go for the Natural / Untinted variant.
- If you like a slight flush of colour and prefer something with a cosmetic twist and sun-protection: choose the Tinted variant.
- If you have very pigmented lips (dark lips) and your primary goal is brightening: keep expectations realistic – while ingredients like kojic acid/niacinamide can help, results may take time and may be modest.
- If you have sensitive lips (eczema, very chapped, etc), check texture and patch-test first (some users reported dryness/allergic reactions). “I got allergic contact cheilitis due to this … the texture is kinda waxy and it’s full of fragrance.”
How to Use for Best Results
- Apply an even layer of the lip balm when lips feel dry or before sun exposure.
- Reapply every 2-3 hours if you’re outdoors or exposed to wind/sun.
- At night: even though designed for day sun-use, you can still use it for overnight barrier repair (untinted variant may be better for this if you dislike tint at night).
- Remove dead skin flakes via gentle lip exfoliation occasionally (once a week) to help any brightening effect work.
- Store properly – according to packaging and avoid very hot/humid conditions.
Final Verdict
If I summarise:
- WishCare Ceramide Lip Balm are very strong on sun-protection + barrier care (SPF 50 + ceramides) which is somewhat rare in lip-balm space at this price point.
- Between the two, your choice depends on whether you want tint or not.
- They are not miracle brighteners-pigmentation reduction will depend on consistent use, underlying cause of pigmentation, and additional lifestyle factors (sun exposure, smoking, dehydration, etc).
- Some user experiences are mixed – while many like the moisture and protection, others felt the brightening claim didn’t live up. “For me it didn’t really change lip pigmentation …”
- If your lips are very dry / severely chapped, you might still need a heavier occlusive balm at night (like plain petrolatum) + a lighter balm like WishCare lip balm during the day.
