"Glow Recipe came out with their Plum Plump lip balm, and I played around with this one a little bit and I like it. It is a little bit shiny, and it has a plum taste. It dissipates pretty quickly, but the ingredients in here are pretty nice and not terribly overwhelming. It is kind of expensive, but the packaging is cute, and a lot of people like Glow Recipe. [...] So far, I think Glow Recipe is still an independent brand."

"It's [...] a little bit more translucent but it's also a little bit more sticky and this actually hydrates better in my opinion. When I put this on at night and I wake up in the morning my lips actually feel hydrated. It smells divine and [...] it's light, it's not overbearing. [...] This is clear, it's a little bit more sticky but this works so well and it actually keeps the lips hydrated. It has hyaluronic acid in here which is phenomenal for the lips."

Don't Waste Your Money - Best And Worst Skincare I've tried Recently

"It does a really good job at getting that balance of giving your lips a really hydrated, smooth feel where they almost feel like really nicely plumped up, but also locking everything in like a normal lip balm. We have hyaluronic acid and raspberry extract in here to help hydrate the skin, and kakadu plum, which is where the plum plump comes from, which is an antioxidant. It's $22, and at first I was like, oh, is that pricey? [...] You get 15 milliliters, which is half your average serum size."

"It does give you a very instant hydrated and glossy look on the lips without being sticky and suffocating, whilst also giving your lips an actually really good dose of hydration."

"I'm gonna finish on Glow Recipe Plum Plump Hyaluronic Gloss Balm. This is nice and not too thick but you can definitely make it thicker for a more occlusive kind of like lip mask in the evening but during the day you could do a nice thin layer and it's still kind of like keeps your lips nice and soft."

"I don't like the texture of this balm. It's very stiff, it doesn't really melt, it doesn't become balmy. It's very stiff, it's kind of sticky, and I don't find it to be very moisturizing. It really just kind of sits in like this kind of sticky thick layer at the top of your lips, but it doesn't really moisturize or hydrate or really honestly plump. This isn't plump deep within the skin at all, and that's really what my skin wants. I want deep down replenishment, deep down moisturization."

What the evidence says.

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

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.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
