The Guru Index verdict
Approved
✓Approved · 74%What the gurus are saying
Gurus consistently praise this product for delivering visible plumping and smoothness within the first use, with soft lips by morning. The gentle PHA formula is widely preferred over traditional gritty lip scrubs, and the high glycerin content provides strong hydration. One reviewer found it ineffective and experienced dryness, citing unclear application instructions as a secondary issue. Most agree minimal product is needed, though layering with a lip balm is recommended to lock in moisture.
