What the gurus are saying

Gurus are unanimously enthusiastic. The standout appeal is the plumping effect and juicy, glossy finish visible after one application, paired with genuine anti-aging benefits from the peptide complex. Reviewers consistently praise the texture as moisturizing without excessive stickiness, and note it works well layered over lip liners or matte lipsticks. The mild vanilla scent is mentioned as a minor point for fragrance-sensitive users. Community consensus is strong: this is an effective everyday lip treatment that delivers both immediate cosmetic payoff and long-term skin conditioning.

"I love this one. It's really nice for your lips. It feels so plumping. It has no real taste to it and it gives you a nice glossy finish. So I love this one for morning routine and evening routine."

"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."

"After one use your lips do look more full, they do look more juicy, and it's very hydrating. If you do have dry lips currently, I do find that this does help to correct that damaged skin barrier. It helps to heal your lips and it also helps to prevent dry lips as well. It has that thickness to it, it's not that sticky. It's very moisturizing and it does give that nice fullness and juiciness to the lips. A little goes a long way."
BENEFITS OF PRO-COLLAGEN PEPTIDES | BOOST COLLAGEN AND COMBAT SIGNS OF AGING WITH PAULA'S CHOICE
"It has that thickness to it, it's not that sticky. There might be a little bit of a stickiness to it but it's not to the point where your hair is going to stick to your lips. It's very moisturizing and it does give that nice fullness and juiciness to the lips. I do love putting this on top of other tinted lip products or sometimes I will just use a lip liner, outline my lips, fill my lips in, and then put something like this on top to enhance that lip liner color but then also getting that nice shine and juiciness from this while my lips are being treated with the procollagen peptides. I love to use this multiple different ways but especially before bed, especially during the day when I'm not really doing much. I just put it on and it's wonderful. I really love 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."
