"This is by DRMTLGY, their Lip Silk SPF 40, a mineral SPF. It's tinted, comes in two color options, and this is very much like my normal shade that I would usually wear. This is actually super hydrating to the lips, nourishing of your lip skin barrier, and it has peptides in it, which is important for that barrier and can help plump and revitalize your lips. It's a nice natural finish, SPF 40 covering your lips. Take it with you on the go, reapply it when you're going to be out, or get a darker shade if that works for your skin tone better. If you love makeup and you don't want a white looking pasty sunscreen on your lips, you really should try a tinted lip product like this that has SPF in it. It's so nice."

"Because I always like to keep my lips sunscreened as well, I put on the DRMTLGY Lip Silk SPF 40. This is a really pretty lip gloss and it's not drying either, and it's got a mineral SPF 40 in it. So I want this. If you're looking for an SPF lip gloss, give this a try. I have a 20% off code with DRMTLGY that I can put in the info box."

"I'm also dedicating to wearing a lip SPF. This is the one by DRMTLGY, a newer release, SPF 40. [...] But wear your SPF on your lip area, and even better, a tinted one. [...] Find an SPF that has a bit of tint. I even sometimes load an SPF first and then do a lip gloss over."

"This has that SPF 40 [...] and it's all mineral. So, this has a zinc oxide of 12% and you are getting 3.5 ms of product. [...] It almost feels like a lip oil kind of. It's very thin and very lightweight. It's not sticky at all. My hair never sticks to my lips when I am wearing this. So, if you hate that stickiness, you're not going to get that with this. But it really does have that nice long wear, but also very nourishing to the lips. This is a great one for all year round. I really love a good lip product that has that SPF because sometimes I don't always remember to put SPF on my lips, especially when I'm [...] going to be outside for a long period of time."

"I do have the bold one, but I love this one the best because it's just more subtle. Most times I just use this on its own and it gives that really nice shine. There's no fragrance, it doesn't taste like anything, but you're getting SPF 40 and it's all mineral, with a zinc oxide of 12%. I'm obsessed, I really like this. It doesn't actually look that dark in person, the camera is pulling it a little deeper, but the more you apply, the more of that deeper look you can create. If you pair it with a lip liner you get more of a bold lip, which I do like sometimes, but this is honestly so nice and hydrating, and I just really love stuff like this especially for the spring summer."

"There's a lot of different oils in here. It is very nourishing and hydrating on the lips and my lips never get dry with this. There have been a handful of lip products I've used in the past that contain sunscreen, and a lot of them were chemical based and used to dry the heck out of my lips, plus they had this weird taste to them as well. But this one doesn't dry out my lips. And I don't just use this for daytime, I'll use this a lot for date night if I'm going out for dinner. It really is a beautiful product, but that added SPF is just an extra bonus with this product. It has a very light formulation, super light. It is buildable as well, so it's like a lip oil, but there's still a creaminess there that acts as a lip gloss. It really has a beautiful formula, and I just love the shade of this. This is in shade Soft, and then there's one deeper shade as well."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Alpha hydroxy acids

Alpha hydroxy acids loosen the bonds holding dead cells at the surface. The evidence supports smoother texture and more even tone over time, and they can leave skin more sensitive to sun.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
