 Before I start, let me at least give credit to Neutrogena for the old formula for this product, because it really was great. It did everything it claimed, and had a sweet, sort of fruity smell and taste from the cucumber and fruit extracts. The texture was silky and when used overnight, worked wonders for my always-dry lips. It was a great product.
When the "new formula" came out, however, I was severely disappointed. They added at least one new ingredient, which might be the sesame seed oil. It wouldn't be so bad if it didn't make the entire product smell AWFUL, kind of like Crisco, and very greasy and oily on the lips - quite frankly, it feels a bit disgusting.
It doesn't seem to penetrate as deeply or work nearly as well, either, because I had to keep reapplying it. Even after wearing it overnight, I didn't feel a significant difference in the texture of my lips like I did before.
Overall, what used to be a great product turned into an awful (and smelly) one with a few changes to the formula. I'll be sad when the last of my older tube is gone... but honestly, skip out on this one. Unless you enjoy the smell of Crisco on your lips, I guess.
