    What the gurus are saying

    This lip plumper delivers noticeable plumping that actually works without the burning sensation many alternatives cause. Gurus praise how effectively it brings blood flow and color to the lips while keeping them comfortable, and one notes it can make lips appear roughly twice as full when applied before makeup. It is not a daily wear product for most, but those wanting a temporary boost to lip volume find it lives up to its reputation.

    "The most effective lip plumper that I've tried is the Dr. Dennis Gross Plump and Repair Lip Treatment. It does give you a nice minty tingle that's not over the top. I bought this two years ago and this is what I put on like every time I'm just doing my makeup and I want to just moisturize, hydrate, and plump up my lips a little bit. I put this on and let them base while I do the rest of my makeup. They came out with them in colors. So, I picked this one up in shade beige. It's a very sheer shade, but it does offer a little bit of color to your lips."

    "There is a lip plumper that I discovered last year that I really really love and it is from Dr. Dennis Gross, it's the Plump and Repair Lip Treatment, and this is such a good lip plumper. I think it's probably the most effective lip plumper I've ever used that's also not super tingly. So there are some really effective lip plumpers out there, but they give you the burning lips, and [...] this I feel like doesn't burn a lot, but yet it very effectively brings a lot of blood flow to the lips, brings a lot of color to the lips, and actually plumps them up a tiny bit. Lip plumpers aren't going to give you lips that look like you've had filler, but they do do a little something. It's just really pretty. It's not super glossy, it's not super sticky, beautiful on the lips."

    "This is the Derm Infusions Plump + Repair Lip Treatment from Dr. Dennis Gross. This is the most comfortable lip plumper that I think I've used that's actually also effective. Most of the time if they're going to be effective they're so spicy I'm like I can't take it I have to get it off. It starts off a little bit tingly and then it just turns to a warmth which is probably blood flow to the skin to the lips which is what makes them look plumper."

    "I truly believe this is one of the best products from Dr Dennis gross but it's also a product where if you really wanted to limit down on your skincare routine and honestly just use like one serum within your routine this would be it"

    "This is great for plumping, it defines and it enhances your natural lip color while restoring the moisture barrier for hydrated younger looking lips. There are multiple weights of hyaluronic acids and this helps to hydrate and plump. Hyaluronic acid is temporary, so it does help to plump up those fine lines giving you volume, but it's something that you do need to be consistent with. There is a peptide complex in the ingredient list here and peptides are great for signs of aging to soften fine lines and wrinkles. A lot of us can have fine lines on our lips, especially the border of our lip area, and this would be a great product to use on a daily, multiple times a day to help soften those fine lines. This also contains ingredients to help hydrate and nourish the lips. If you're someone that does have dryness all the time or you want something to prevent dryness, there's a lot of ingredients in here like jojoba esters, coconut oil, squalene, avocado oil, and santalum asiatica."

    "I use this, right? It's not the most stingy plumper or anything like that. It doesn't hurt. And I'm quite weak with plumpers, lip plumpers, spicy foods. It just felt fine. It was absolutely fine. And actually, when it first went on the lip, beautiful. Really nice. Now, here's why I should have patch tested. I used it all on my lips, and then it kind of like, it wasn't smudged everywhere. I didn't touch the rest of my face, nothing like that. I know better than to put on a plumping product with the applicator. I didn't use any on my finger, and I just left it there and let it do its thing. It got all itchy down here, all red and raised. It looked horrendous. It got worse than this. It got redder and redder and redder."
    ~Mixed
    "The formula wise this is an excellent excellent product, it's just the actual applicator is not really my favorite and is it easy to use, eh, okay. But the price, the price babe. I could feel it plumping but it definitely didn't burn. I like that it's clear but I did notice that if I went outside the lines of my lips it would get a little bit red, not massively irritated."

    "This is the Dr. Dennis Gross Plump and Repair Lip Treatment. This really plumps the lips like I've never used something that actually plumps as much as this one does. I prep my lips with this if I'm wanting like a little more of a juicy pout, [...] and it just kind of preps the lips in a way where it'll hydrate but it also makes your lips two times as big, which is insane. It's not a daily use situation for me, but I have it on my desk just in case."
    The #1 Makeup from September 2023!! 😍
    "This is probably the best lip plumper I've ever tried. [...] What I really love is you do get an insane amount of plumpness. It lasts for a while, and [...] the thing I like about it is it's not as painful as some of the other ones that I've tried before. I just feel like it works. There's a lot of hype around this and I do feel like it lives up to the hype personally. [...] It's nice to have one that's really effective [...] whenever I want that look of a more full plump lip situation."
    This NEW Makeup is INSANE 🤯
    "My lips are definitely plumping, this is so different. I have tried a lot of different lip plumpers and this one feels different, like it feels like it's little micro plumping. I can feel my lips actually balloon. My lips look huge, they feel huge. I can't even press them together the way I normally do."

    "Dr Dennis Gross, splurge option here for $45. I actually did a before and after video on my channel where I use this product and you can see what it did to my lips in under 2 minutes. Spoiler alert, it really worked and it worked in a big way. I actually really loved the results from this. The absolute number one biggest difference is that the Dr Dennis Gross is going to give you instant results in a matter of minutes. When you put this one on, the lips will literally grow in size in under 2 minutes. It also has peptides in it that over time can build the collagen in your lips too, so I would consider this one to have both immediate and delayed benefits. With the Dr Dennis Gross, the pro is immediate plumping results, but the con is that you will experience a tingling sensation on the lips and this is actually kind of how it works to swell the lips more quickly. I do not mind this sensation."
