“Five years ago I discovered Robinsons Lip Renew, specifically the Lip Renew Endurance Cream. This product is fantastic because there are so many all-natural and anti-inflammatory ingredients and is something you can use daily or intermittently. The ingredients used are soothing and calming and have helped increase muscle repair after a taxing practice session or performance which is why I use Robinsons Remedies and recommend it to others. ”
