Murad
This honey-hued salve is gooey but not sticky. It counts salicylic acid as an ingredient, so it gently exfoliates while also soothing cracked lips immediately upon contact.
AmorePacific
This bestselling lip tube is packed with Asian botanicals (like bamboo sap, for instance) that deliver long-lasting nourishment. The barely-there glossy finish isn't too bad either, btw.
Nurse Jamie
This all-natural lip balm is made with hyaluronic acid (which helps to plump your lips), as well as beeswax and jojoba oil (which helps to hydrate). Bonus: Use the silicone lip brush to massage the product into your lips for a super-charged (but gentle) exfoliation.

This gloss is one serious lip-plumping product. That's thanks to oligopeptides that plump and fill in lip wrinkles and creases immediately upon application. Avocado oil and vitamin E also protect against environmental damage.

The most luxe option of the bunch, there's a reason this salve has long been a celeb skincare secret. Rose flower essential wax makes it smell ah-mazing, while shea butter makes it extra-nourishing.
