What the gurus are saying

Light and glossy, this balm has been called a hybrid of skincare and makeup, with a sheer tint and a shine that doesn't feel sticky. It is also easy to carry around, which a few gurus value, and it has been called more hydrating than chapstick. However, the lighter feel and short wear did not win over every guru, so those who love a rich, thick balm may want to look elsewhere.

"If you want something portable, grab the Laneige glow balm. It's more hydrating than chapstick, and the tint is sheer, not bold."

"The Laneige Lip Glowy Balm [...] combines some of those more nourishing butters with a formula designed for both treatment and aesthetics. [...] It has that shea butter and miru, but it also delivers that glossy finish without the stickiness. [...] The texture is a lot lighter. It comes with added antioxidants and in tinted versions too, so [...] it's that kind of hybrid of skincare and makeup."

"I have to throw out there with all the lip balms on the market now I think that one's probably at the bottom of the list for me as far as my favorite lip balms especially for nighttime. I love something really rich and thick, and [...] it's on the lighter side in my opinion and just doesn't last on my lips. But I also have dry skin. [...] There's nothing wrong with that lip balm, it's just not one of my favorites."

"I bought this one during Prime Day last year so exactly a year ago I'm not even finished yet I haven't even hit the bottom yet. It's about two-thirds of the way used so I still have like another third of the year to go with that."

"We love it, we like these balms, they're great moisturizing lip balms. This one's the acai mango smoothie in the marbled formula, the lip care you love in a marbled formula. I could eat this with a spoon, it looks like dessert, my mouth is watering. It's really summery, a bit citrusy, a little bit sour, like passion fruit. It's limited edition so I better get it soon. The glowy lip balm is a little bit heavier weight compared to their serum."

What the evidence says.

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

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.
