7 experts · Moderate agreementWhat the gurus are saying
This lip treatment earns consistent praise for delivering visible hydration and a glossy, plumped appearance that lasts through wear, though some gurus note it requires reapplication throughout the day rather than all-day coverage. The thick, chunky texture and peptide-rich formula appeal to those with very dry lips, and it plays well under makeup as a primer. One caveat: the fragranced versions divide opinion sharply on scent (banana-dessert notes that some love, others find off-putting), and an earlier formulation had graininess that a 2025 reformulation with liquid shea butter addressed, though some gurus mention lingering concerns about the fragrance itself.
