What the gurus are saying

This balm's peptide blend stands out as genuinely effective rather than decorative, according to the dermatologists who've tested it. Applied nightly for several days, it noticeably softens and repairs damaged lips. The main trade-off is price, which some find steep, though one expert notes it drops significantly during sales.

"This is probably my third tube of it and I have two more tubes as backup. [...] A friend was asking me about it when she was getting [...] fine lines around her mouth, and I told her to try this one. She'd been using Carmex [...] her entire life, and once she switched from Carmex to something with good ingredients in there, it really made a huge difference. She's sold more people on this lip balm than I have, and the fact that she loves it says something because she's kind of picky."

"Paula's Choice one contains shea butter, castor seed oil, and two different peptides. I resisted buying this one because it was so expensive."

"A lip peptide I absolutely swear by is from Paula's Choice. It has the right kind of peptides in it, unlike a lot of lip peptide products, especially for lips, that use junk peptides, this is not junk. It's 30% off, the cheapest you'll find it all year from any website, an actual great deal. [...] If you put this on your lips before bed several nights in a row, you'll fix damaged lips and they'll become soft and supple. I swear by this stuff."
