Dry lips are a common nightmare for most—if not all—beauty enthusiasts. With countless causes, dry lips have gotten in the way of an otherwise perfect bold and bright lip moment, or on off-duty, balm-only days—a hassle if you ask us. We’ve resorted to having multiple lip products in our bag, ready to face the day assured of two things: color and hydration. It’s why we are thanking the beauty gods above for the diverse range of lip color options that give our lips nourishing benefits in the long run, too. Here, so far, are the latest hydrating lippies we’ve tried and tested.

Chu Chu Beauty Tinted Lip Syrup

Chu Chu Beauty is no stranger to giving good-performing products at reasonable price ranges, and the brand has quickly become a favorite in the local beauty scene. Its hydrating lippies feature a non-sticky, non-greasy, glossy formula enriched with vitamin E, jojoba seed oil, and meadowfoam seed oil. This combination not only heals and smooths dry lips but also minimizes the appearance of fine lines. We love that it gives a mirror-shine effect once applied, for a healthy, glossy lip look. Another plus is its compact packaging, making it a great option for on-the-go lip care. Besides, who doesn’t love an affordable lippie that delivers?

DAZZLE ME Wonderfullip Serum

We’ve all experienced our share of color-adapting lip products, and this one is a must-add if you’re into these kinds of surprises. This tiny, packed lip serum can quickly relieve dry lips, and the moisture definitely seeps through quite impressively, thanks to its blend of natural plant oils, including jojoba, grapeseed, rosehip, and pomegranate. Since it has a flat silicone applicator, you’ll get just the right amount of serum with every use—one way to make your money’s worth, if you ask us. As for the cherry on top, we love that it finishes lightweight and non-sticky, so no need to worry about mishaps like your hair getting in the way of your glossy lips when the wind blows.

Sunnies Face Lip Glaze

Peptides are one of the most loved—and most talked about—skincare ingredients this year, and for good reason. This tiny protein seeps into the skin to help boost moisture and smoothen lines, and it very much does the same when applied to the lips, too. Sunnies Face’s Lip Glaze has a peptide-rich formula that provides lips with lasting hydration and protection, on top of its instant plumping effect. It also has shea butter which soothes the lips and makes them feel soft, without feeling too heavy despite reapplication. We have to admit that the high shine it gives can complement any lip combination if you love a glowing finish!

Pili Ani Lip Butter

If you’re the type who likes their formulations lightweight in the balm category, then the Pili Ani Lip Butter might be the next item you’ll add to your lip care rotation. What’s worth mentioning with this variation is that it is infused with carotenoids, which mainly prevent the degradation of collagen and elastin while also protecting the lips against UV radiation. Along with providing deep moisture, it also helps your lips appear more plump over time when applied continuously. Because of its velvety texture, reapplication doesn’t leave a heavy feel on the lips, and we love how it’s also great to use as a topper for a layered lip look.

Dermtropics Raw Coconut + Shea Butter Nourishing Lip Shield

While we slather sunscreen on our face religiously, we often forget that also deserve high protection from the sun’s harmful rays, and Dermtropics Lip Shield definitely kept that in mind with its latest Lip Shield, which contains SPF 70 UVA/UVB Superior Sun Protection—no to damaged and sunburnt lips over here! It’s a lightweight balm that can further improve lip moisture, thanks to the shea butter, argan oil, and jojoba esters in its formulation. With these ingredients mainly being organic, the Lip Shield is a safe option for those who have sensitive skin and it leaves you with no lingering taste or scent as well.

As it claims to be “the only lip balm you’ll ever need,” the Lip Shield is truly hardworking and multi-use: as a lip mask that you can leave on overnight, a lip balm for everyday, a lip primer to help your lip color last longer, and of course, as sun protection for the lips! Over time, we also noticed how it improved the natural color of our lips. Enjoy soft, protected lips without compromise!
