"The formula is so nice. I can't believe how much I was like I'm going to hate this product and it was the complete opposite. I absolutely ended up loving it. [...] There is like a slight tingle, like the slightest tingle, but it's not irritating like a plumping gloss at all. It doesn't hurt, it just feels like a little bit minty."

"Summer Fridays the lip oils that I can't I can't stop talking about. I really liked that the lip oil was a little bit more pinky, and I liked that I could just buff it in to make sure my lips were well hydrated without making them too glossy. I just needed a little bit of something to keep them from getting really dry."

Oh. I like these.

"I was so over lip oils and I wasn't even going to try it, [...] but I was like, 'what the heck, I'll just give it a shot,' and as soon as I put it on my lips I was like 'ooh, I love that.' I'm obsessed. I love it so much I can't stop wearing them. It's so delicious and it does have a little bit of that plumping tingle, but it's so incredibly slight, because usually that kind of thing turns me off. [...] I want her to come out with way more colors because I think I just need way more colors."

Organize makeup with me and my cats!

"But damn it was good, it was good. [...] I immediately think negatively but then I was like you know what, whatever, I'll just try it. It was a day where I wasn't doing anything, I was just wearing sunscreen, I didn't have any makeup on and I just put it on my lips and I was like ooh that's nice, that's actually quite nice. She won me over."

"I'm so sick of lip oils. Lip oils never look this pigmented for that long. You pop them on a lip and they're on your lips for how long before they're gone? I want some glosses. I want some intense gloss. Not a gloss oil hybrid. I don't care if it's moisturizing my lips, as long as it stays on. I can moisturize my lips some other times. I'm not interested in this at all."

"This is my favorite of all the tinted lip oils that came out this year. A lot of them are just like too oily, too shiny, too everything, but this one is more like a gloss. The ones that are just an oil, I find when you put them on they're too shiny, they get up into my wrinkles really quickly, they don't stay where they're supposed to stay, the colors worn off in three and a half seconds. I really like the Summer Fridays one. I thought this one was the best of the bunch."

"This is the Summer Fridays Dream Lip Oil in Blush Dreams and this is beautiful and it feels so lightweight on the lips. It doesn't feel oily, it's almost got like a whipped up gel texture, but it just makes the lips feel so hydrated and makes them look so moisturized and so plumped up that you don't see any of the lip creases."

"But honestly I just love the formulation and the color is truly on point as well. I do like to pair this up with a lip liner for that longevity, [...] but sometimes I will just use this on its own so you will get more of that sheer look to your lips but it's still beautiful to have that little subtle pop of color, especially if you want that no makeup makeup look or you're just somebody that doesn't like too much of that pop on the lips. This will be really nice."

"I love the Summer Fridays Dream Lip Oil in the shade Pink Cloud. Summer Fridays, you know what, a lot of people think they're overrated but I really ended up really enjoying this brand. When they started I didn't like them as much or very much at all but I've really grown to love them and their lip products are amazing. This stuff feels really nice and light."

"I've got the Summer Fridays Dream Lip Oil in the shade Pink Cloud, but to be honest I don't think the shade really matters because it's so sheer once you put it on it really doesn't give much of a color at all. But it gives a nice glossy finish."

What the evidence says.

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

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

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.
