What the gurus are saying

This balm delivers a visible plumping effect within minutes without any tingling sensation, and the peptides it contains are praised for smoothing lip lines and helping prevent further wrinkles as you age. It's very moisturizing and stays put through eating and talking, with a barely-there sheer tint and mild vanilla scent that some find appealing and others may want to avoid if they're sensitive to fragrance. Gurus suggest applying it several times throughout the day and before bed, or layering it over matte lipsticks and lip liners for a juicy finish.

"The Paula's Choice Pro Collagen Peptide Gloss Balm is very moisturizing and gives the lips that nice plumpness, but because it contains peptides it can also treat lip lines. It does have a little bit of a sweet vanilla scent to it and a very sheer tint, I don't see anything when I apply it to my lips, it's just clear basically. I like to apply this several times throughout the day and before bed. It's also a nice product to use on top of lipsticks and lip liners, and it just gives that nice juicy plump look. Within a couple of minutes you do feel that little plumpness to your lips. It doesn't have a tingling sensation or anything, but all the ingredients mesh well together and it just plumps up the skin on your lips. I absolutely love it."

BENEFITS OF PRO-COLLAGEN PEPTIDES | BOOST COLLAGEN AND COMBAT SIGNS OF AGING WITH PAULA'S CHOICE
"I am obsessed with this. I love products like this that are tinted because generally these types of balms contain anti-aging ingredients to treat the lips and we should be treating our lips no differently than our face and our rest of our body. Our lips can develop fine lines and wrinkles, we can lose that fullness as we get older, so we should be treating the lips on an everyday basis and multiple times a day as well. This contains three procollagen peptides: palmitoyl tripeptide 1, palmitoyl tripeptide 38, and tripeptide 1. All of these peptides are going to help improve texture, it's going to help smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, plumping up the lips, giving that fullness, but this can also help to prevent further fine lines that can develop as we get older. This also has a light vanilla scent to it, very mild."
MY MORNING ANTI-AGING SKINCARE ROUTINE - SKINCARE OVER 30 (WINTER/SPRING SKINCARE ROUTINE)
"For the lips I'm going to be using the Paula's Choice Pro Collagen Peptide Gloss Balm. This is very nourishing and it does help to plump up your lips as well. You can pair this up with tinted lip products if you want to pair this up on top of a lip liner. There is a very very sheer tint, honestly I don't see anything on my lips when I use this, it is so sheer, but I love how moisturizing it is and it stays on your lips for a long period of time, which I really like. So if you're someone that drinks and talks a lot, you know, you're eating, I don't find it comes off like it stays on your lips, and within a couple of minutes your lips feel a lot more plump as well. I'm a big fan of this, I really like it."

"This one is definitely milder in my opinion so I know we're all different if you can't do fragrance stay away from this but this is going to address lip lines lip wrinkles it's going to plump it's going to hydrate and nourish the lips and it does a very very good job it also gives that shine that juicy look to your lips and I like to use this before going to bed sometimes during the day if I don't feel like wearing anything tinted but you can even put this on top of a matte lipstick or a lip liner and it's really nice and the more consistent you are with this I find the better and I love products like this because they generally contain anti-aging ingredients and I find that it's really important to be treating the lips no differently than the face and the body so if you love Paula's Choice then you should try this this is really nice."
