What the gurus are saying

High gloss with a lightweight, aqua-y texture defines this lip balm. Gurus praise it for restoring dry, cracked, and irritated lips with a smooth, dewy finish that doesn't feel heavy or sticky. There's a note of skepticism, though: while the gloss and texture deliver, reviewers questioned whether the feature set truly sets it apart from other lip balms, given its positioning as a Haley B dupe.

"Compared to other lip balms like Bioderma, I feel Torriden is less sticky and moisturizes pretty well. It's just okay, not bad, worth trying if you haven't yet."

"This lip balm is great if you want something more on the go, and it's going to be a fraction of the price of the more expensive lip products."

"My favorite of the lip balms I finished is this solid lip essence. It's a beautiful, glossy lip balm, a little bit lightweight, and it usually costs around five to seven dollars. This is good."

"My lips are feeling super dry, so I'm going to put on a layer of the Torriden Solid-In Lip Essence. It's a really nice restorative lip balm, but it has that appealing high gloss look, but it actually does restore dry and chapped lips."

"I use this all the time. It is a serum, my lip balm, and it's really nice. It's very simple, I would say almost a bit aqua-forward in texture with a really nice smooth dewy glowy glossy finish to it. If you got cracked dry irritated lips, this is the product to go for. Put everything else down for now, anything colors in, anything fragrance in, flavors, put it down for now. Take this, smother it on overnight and leave it and let it do its work. It's got a hob oil in as well so you get that really kind of thick layer that's not too suffocating, not too sticky. For $38 it's an absolute bargain."

"I love Torriden though. This is Torriden's Solid In Lip Essence. I've never seen this before. It contains a 5D Ceramide Complex to strengthen the skin barrier. We love Ceramides in everything, well, not everything, but moisturizers basically. It's won two awards as well. Honestly, it feels very basic without tasting like a horrible lip balm, which I like. This is staying in my lip balm pile. I'll have that finished in a week."

"This is the Torriden Solid-In Lip Essence. This is supposed to be a dupe for the Hailey B lip product, which I don't get because it's literally just a lip balm. Very glossy though."
