What the gurus are saying

Light and glossy, this balm has been called a hybrid of skincare and makeup, with a sheer tint and a shine that doesn't feel sticky. It is also easy to carry around, which a few gurus value, and it has been called more hydrating than chapstick. However, the lighter feel and short wear did not win over every guru, so those who love a rich, thick balm may want to look elsewhere.

"If you want something portable, grab the Laneige glow balm. It's more hydrating than chapstick, and the tint is sheer, not bold."

"The Laneige Lip Glowy Balm [...] combines some of those more nourishing butters with a formula designed for both treatment and aesthetics. [...] It has that shea butter and miru, but it also delivers that glossy finish without the stickiness. [...] The texture is a lot lighter. It comes with added antioxidants and in tinted versions too, so [...] it's that kind of hybrid of skincare and makeup."

"I have to throw out there with all the lip balms on the market now I think that one's probably at the bottom of the list for me as far as my favorite lip balms especially for nighttime. I love something really rich and thick, and [...] it's on the lighter side in my opinion and just doesn't last on my lips. But I also have dry skin. [...] There's nothing wrong with that lip balm, it's just not one of my favorites."

"I bought this one during Prime Day last year so exactly a year ago I'm not even finished yet I haven't even hit the bottom yet. It's about two-thirds of the way used so I still have like another third of the year to go with that."

"We love it, we like these balms, they're great moisturizing lip balms. This one's the acai mango smoothie in the marbled formula, the lip care you love in a marbled formula. I could eat this with a spoon, it looks like dessert, my mouth is watering. It's really summery, a bit citrusy, a little bit sour, like passion fruit. It's limited edition so I better get it [...] soon. The glowy lip balm is a little bit heavier weight compared to their serum."

"I do like these products however I'm just not interested in these scents at all. [...] I'm not a foodie fragrance person. Fruits yes, I can do, but food like this no. I'm actually going to put this at number nine. Let's get some nice limited edition, like some crazy taste, blueberry, [...] something more interesting. I just don't think that looks appealing to me in any way."

"I still absolutely love this. I will just never get over how creamy and melty and nourishing this feels. This is one of those lip balms that feels luxurious. [...] I reviewed this amongst about 55 other lip balms, [...] and this one made the cut as one of my top favorites out of the entire video because it's just so, so nice."

"Laneige lippies are on sale again, thank goodness, because I go through these so often. They are definitely some of my most repurchased beauty products of all time."

"Both the Laneige Lip Glowy Balm and the Lip Sleeping Mask are on sale, and these two products are basically non-negotiables for me because I am just obsessed with not only how they feel but also how they look. Both of these are incredibly nourishing and conditioning, but they also feel luxurious on your lips. They're extra soft, they're a little bit melty, and the way they smooth over your lips and give you this reflective shine just makes them that much better."

"Laneige's Lip Glowy Balm in the new vanilla scent is just to die for, it has that same really nice melty quality that the lip mask has, it's just a lighter weight option and it's in a tube so it's more hygienic. It feels so cushy and conditioning, gives great shine, and is stacked with ingredients that condition lips, including shea butter and murumuru butter."

"If you're on the hunt for a lip balm that smells really good like vanilla but actually feels amazing on your lips, Laneige came out with their Lip Glowy Balm in vanilla, and when I saw it launched I bought four. I am obsessed with these lip balms, they feel so luxurious, they give you really beautiful shine, and now we have a nice beautiful vanilla smell as well."

"She wasn't expecting to like this and avoided buying it for a long time, but after receiving it in PR realized she was very wrong. It feels like a luxury lip balm, incredibly soft, smooth and comfortable, with ingredients like shea butter, murumuru butter and a range of berry and fruit extracts. She has the berry flavor and hasn't tried the others, and wishes the brand made a vanilla, cake or salted caramel scent, since none of the other flavors really appeal to her the way this one does."

"The Laneige Lip Glowy Balm in Berry [...] has shea butter, lithium fruit, [...] Chinese fruit extract, raspberry, blueberry, coffee, cranberry and strawberry extract, and seriously is just the most incredible texture for a lip balm I have ever felt.

"But I was sent this in PR a couple of months ago, and after trying it for about a week I [...] messed up, I regret saying that because it is amazing. [...] I would say it's just a lighter weight version of their lip sleeping mask, it creates the best film on the lips but not in a gross way, it still sinks in and conditions but also creates a coating that feels incredible because the texture is next level."

What the evidence says.

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

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
