What the gurus are saying

The balm's stellar ingredient lineup for deep hydration wins consistent praise, with gurus highlighting the presence of hyaluronic acid, glycerin, panthenol, and allantoin as genuinely beneficial for thirsty skin. The texture is thick and gentle, though one reviewer notes it functions much like a colored, flavored Vaseline, which works well for some but may feel heavy or redundant for others who prefer lighter options. Best suited to those after rich, occlusive moisture in a simple, unpretentious formula.

"Glossier launched in October 2014 with four products including Balm Dotcom salve, and their products were a success. This launched at a time when people were wanting that no makeup, makeup look, and Glossier was the epitome of this trend. With their mission to democratize beauty and create products that enhance natural beauty, they were at the forefront of makeup minimalism."
