What the gurus are saying

Gurus split sharply on whether this mask truly hydrates overnight or leaves lips drier by morning. Those who love it praise the rich, balmy texture and lasting moisture, especially for tight, flaky lips, though the strong scent puts some off. Those who found it fell short report it sits on the surface without penetrating, and point to the coconut oil as a potential breakout trigger; several woke with lips drier than when they started. The divide appears genuine rather than dose-dependent, so patch-testing first makes sense if you have sensitive or breakout-prone lips.

"This is Laneige's Lip Sleeping Mask, but not just their normal one, this is their overnight treatment mask that you can custom make for yourself, mixing your own scent blend, for twenty eight dollars. I made my own with blue cream soda and sweet candy and it's just so amazing. It's such a cool opportunity to be able to mix your own and make your own, and they last a really really long time and they really help hydrate your lips. These are absolutely beautiful, it's a really fun experience and the balms themselves are stunning."

YOU'RE TOO POOR TO LOOK GOOD!!! CHARLOTTE TILBURY SAYS!!
"I was just in Korea with Laneige, who kindly invited me out to celebrate the launch of their new Lip Sleeping Mask in Akai Mango Smoothie, which smells amazing. I got another one. Laneige do these incredible lip masks that they're very well known for. At the Amorepacific lab we were shown how a lip without the mask gets really dry when exposed to intense heat, while a lip with the mask stays hydrated, and how the mask stops moisture evaporating overnight. So the scientists were showing us how these lip masks lock in moisture on your lips throughout the whole night, so your lips are really retaining moisture and getting that repair. So much science and thought goes into making these kinds of products."

"I truly do not know why so many people are obsessed with that product. That one has never done anything for me, but people still love it. I low-key believe that everyone who loves that product has never really used a lip mask before. When in reality, I don't feel like it's hydrating or nourishing at all."

"I have shat on the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask for so many years, and it boggles my mind that people recommend it so often, because it really is one of the worst lip products that I've ever used."
Shopping SHEIN Skin Care (i'm... surprised??)
"Here it shows a Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask and this said it's 100% original but for $11 the packaging looks different than what's sold in the US. I don't know what all their packaging looks like in Korea but I'm just automatically sketched out. I don't know, this doesn't look legit to me because it's such a lower price point than what Laneige is sold for here in the US and it just kind of sketches me out."
I Tried Every Lip Balm Ever Made (here are the best 💄)
"I will stand by my hatred of this product forever. When I wake up after using it my lips feel more dry, they're more crusty. I start noticing that every time I would use it I would just feel this weird sensation in my throat. The main reason why I dislike this product so much is that I have had a terrible experience while so many people absolutely love it. And also she ain't cheap, this is a pricey luxury lip balm."
Can We Talk About Giselle’s Skin?! AESPA Skincare Routine Reaction
"The Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, I've talked about that one so much on my channel that I won't exhaust you guys anymore, but it's kind of overhyped in my opinion. It's fine, and it just doesn't last any longer than like an hour and I will never understand why it is so popular. But, you know, it looks cute. I like the colors, I guess, but I would definitely recommend passing on that one."
TikTok Viral Products *NOT* Worth the Hype
"I have tried using this product so many times and it just does not work. It's pretty, it feels nice, definitely gives that lux feel, but about an hour after you apply it you're going to find yourself reapplying it because it does not help your lips retain moisture. My lips feel just as dry as if I hadn't used anything. I am someone who gets very dry lips, and even out of all the lip products that I've tried, this is like one of the least effective. Also keep in mind that this product is not cheap, and with the amount of times I had to reapply it, I'm spending a lot on a product that is just not going to work. So yeah, I would not recommend this one."

"Their lip mask is kind of the lip version of the sleeping mask. It offers different flavors, with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and antioxidants that provide that hydrating component that makes your skin noticeably softer and smoother by the morning. It comes in lots of different fun, collectible flavors that are really fun to use, giving your lips that little bit of TLC."

THESE PRODUCTS SAVED ME IN 2023 | BEST PRODUCTS I USED IN 2023
"If you deal with dry lips, especially this time of the year when it is winter, or even if it's not winter, please consider this product. It is supposed to be like a sleeping mask you apply this on your lips before you go to bed and you wake up with soft lips, which is the case for me. However, I use this during the daytime. It's so hydrating and so moisturizing and my lips are no longer cracked or chapped for no reason. This is like my second jar of this. I even have an extra for backup in my drawer. This is so so good. It's one of those things that isn't overhyped at all. If you've not tried sleep masks at all or if you're looking for a very good lip balm or something to just stop your lips from cracking and looking dry and raggedy all the time, I highly recommend this."

"It's rich in fatty acids and antioxidants muru muru seed butter, nicely moisturizing, and vitamin C-rich berry extracts for that antioxidant boost. It's just very good at what it does. It's thick, it's got a balmy texture that locks in hydration overnight. I don't like the strawberry scent for some reason, but every other version of this lip mask genuinely helps with dry, flaky, tight-feeling lips. While you can probably just use Vaseline and while you could probably use any other lip balm, it's still great. It still holds up. It's really stood the test of time."

There's something about the strawberry version that feels like it's drying out the lips, but the gummy bear one, or the American grape flavor as I like to call it, is so hydrating, so plumping, so moisturizing and nourishing, and keeps my lips really moisturized overnight without having to apply an overly thick layer."

"I don't find that Laneige lip mask to do a dang thing for me. I feel like it's actually kind of polarizing like some people love it and others are like me. The CosRX one is a step above just plain petroleum jelly. It's hydrating, it's protective, it has ceramides."

"I really enjoyed the tip for sort of precision application because I like to dispense products directly on my face. So I love the applicator for that. However, when you get down to the last bit, it becomes work to get it out towards the end. This works great as an eye cream. It brightens it up and diminishes the appearance of under eye circles just by light scattering. It's a skin protectant, so it protects eyelid skin from irritants and allergens because eyelid skin is really vulnerable to irritants and allergens because of how delicate it is."

"I think initially you're going to love this product when you put it on but actually it's going to be shortlived. Your lips are going to feel really dry and you're just not going to get the benefits. It just sits on the lips, it's not penetrating into the lips. That's what you want: humectants that are going to pull the hydration into the lips, which you're not really getting with this product. This is probably one of the worst products I've tried today."

"Coconut oil can cause breakouts, which might explain some reviews where people are saying they got pimples around their lips. The ingredients aren't revolutionary, and the whole thing is that they're saying it's a sleeping mask that hydrates and has vitamin C. I don't know if I want to pay $24 for that, and I'm also not going to because it's not cruelty-free. If you're someone who puts this on and you're getting breakouts around your lips, or if you wake up with drier lips than when you started, that's something to consider. There's nothing toxic or dangerous in here, but there's nothing revolutionary either, and with the coconut oil I could see that causing breakouts for some people. The hydrators and protectants don't seem that revolutionary, especially when we compare it to some other things on the market."

"The LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask claims to gently slough away dead skin cells for smooth and supple lips in the mornings. The one I have, Grapefruit, doesn't smell like a real grapefruit but much sweeter, not as citrussy as I had imagined. It's peachy pink in color, just like the packaging, but doesn't add any color to the lips. The texture feels a little waxy but is easy to distribute with the warmth of your finger, and adds quite a bit of shine. Although it's called a Lip Sleeping Mask, it's perfectly fine to use throughout the day as well, even if you don't nap. The texture means it stays on the lips, forming a protective layer that keeps moisture from evaporating, but also leaves a film that transfers to your glass. I don't mind that and often wear it during the day when I'm at my desk typing away, but it's not great if you want to put it on right before you apply lipstick, as the thick texture means that would slide off. The formula is made up mainly of waxes and emollients, mainly synthetic, but with Squalane and Coconut Oil added to the mix. As humectant you'll find Glycerin and then there's Vitamin C, but probably very low in concentration, plus a variety of plant extracts and colorants and fragrance including Limonene, Citral and Linalool which are known irritants. I'm not sure what is supposed to slough off dead skin cells, I would have expected something with exfoliating properties for that and I can't find anything that fits that description on the ingredient list. Overall it is a great product that keeps the lips soft and hydrated during the night, so it will earn a permanent place on my bedside table."

"If you love their lip sleeping masks keep on using them, for me though I don't think they add a lot of hydration. I think as a brand they over promise and they under deliver. It's said to be like an overnight sensation for the lips and I actually woke up with quite dry lips when I tried this so clearly it wasn't really doing a whole lot. I'm not the biggest fan of the level of hydration it gives and there are so many different scents and flavors to them. I think a lot of the colorants and the fragrances and the scents that they put in them could potentially irritate the lips further. I tried them time and time again and always my lips will end up drier in the morning than when I went to bed. It clearly wasn't doing anything for me."
