What they flagged

  • Too light for very dry lips

What the gurus are saying

One expert found the balm strikes a balance between treatment and polish, with a lighter texture that hydrates without stickiness and holds up well throughout the day. However, another reviewer with dry skin felt it leaned too light and didn't last long enough for nighttime wear, preferring richer formulas. Those with normal to combination lips may find the conditioning sufficient; anyone with very dry lips might want to test it first or reserve it for daytime.

"If you want something portable, grab the Laneige glow balm. It's more hydrating than chapstick, and the tint is sheer, not bold."
Yay
"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. Laneige has years of lip care expertise behind their sleeping mask, which is a cult favorite, [...] and that's been adapted into this portable on-the-go balm. Laneige offers that same hydration with an added polish to it, comfort on the lips, and real longwear lip conditioning where I don't find myself constantly reaching for my lip balm."
Yay
"I also like the Laneige glowy lip balm, which I have been carrying in my purse for a long time."
Mixed
"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."
Yay
"Their lip glowy serum balm it's a little bit better I like it better than the lip sleeping mask personally."
Yay
"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."
Yay
"This is the Laneige Lip Glowy Balm, a lightweight moisture-rich balm with shea butter. 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. It's a nourishing lip treat infused with tart acai and juicy mango scent, and it looks so, so beautiful. I like the idea of going a bit more citrus, a little bit more tropical, because a lot of lip balm scents are quite sweet, always the candy floss, vanilla, gummy bear kind of situation, and I really do like the fruit ones like this one. I'm really excited for this."

Are These Makeup brands Making A Big Comeback!? | Ranking New Makeup Releases
"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."

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.
