  • Lips feel like they're on fire
  • No visible plumping effect

What the gurus are saying

This lip plumper struggles to deliver visible results and comes with some real drawbacks. Reviewers report it either does nothing at all or causes an intense burning sensation that feels uncomfortable rather than effective. The scent also turns people off. Not many gurus have weighed in yet, so there isn't much cushion of opinion to work from so far.

"In contrast to Buxom's comfortable plumping, the VT Cosmetics Extreme Lip Plumper is a goodness no, goodness no from me."

"The scent was honestly unpleasant. I tried the beginner formula on my bottom lip and it did absolutely nothing."

"It is the RLE Shot lip plumper from VT. I just don't like this product. [...] It is a lip plumping product. It is supposed to contain the RLE. It also has an ingredient in here that essentially just like inflames your lips to make them plumper, to make them puffier, to make them redder and to supposedly infuse them with some volume. But it really is just teasing out the inflammatory response in your skin. So it's a real spicy lip gloss."

"Let's talk about VT Reedle Shot Lip Plumper. Talk about my lips were on fire. I don't like this at all. This was painful. Painful. Painful. I'm not against Reedles. I'm like on the fence, but [...] when you use any type of Reedle product, usually you feel these prickly sensations, and with this one on my lips, it was just too much."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Ceramides

Ceramides are part of the skin's own barrier, and moisturisers built around them have evidence for holding water in and settling the tightness and flaking that come with a damaged barrier.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
