“I began using Robinson’s Remedies a few years ago and it quickly become a part of my trumpet routine. I was first introduced to Lip Renew which is significantly helpful during gigs. I enjoyed this Lip Renew so much that I wanted to try other products, which led me to the Recovery Stick and most recently, the Lip Quench which I use daily (especially with the Ohio winters). These are great quality products that I am happy to recommend to everyone! “
