YSL Beauty Rouge Volupté Candy Glaze Lip Gloss Stick
Balmy, high-shine lip color is reimagined with hyaluronic acid, vitamin E and mango oils to help your lips look and feel good. This balm went viral on TikTok and for good reason — we recommend grabbing a few shades because they’re perfect for daytime looks.
CeraVe Healing Ointment
This magical healing balm is geared towards cracked and extremely dry skin. As we mentioned above, this formula includes hyaluronic acid, ceramides and petroleum jelly, AKA a humectant, emollient and occlusive, to give your lips the best chance at staying hydrated. Note that this ointment can be used all over the body to fight dryness, too.
L’Oréal Paris Glow Paradise Balm-in-Lipstick with Pomegranate Extract
For a daytime option that adds color and hydration to your pout, opt for this lip balm-lipstick hybrid. Infused with pomegranate extract, the sheer formula gives the lips a hydrated glow, and leads to smoother lips overtime.
La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Lips Hydration Restore Lip Balm
Loaded with shea butter, this long-lasting balm offers up non-greasy hydration for ultra-dry and chapped lips. Consider it perfect for winter when the air is extra dry.
Eight Saints Lip Trick Lip Treatment
A mix of coconut oil, vitamin E and beeswax gives this lip treatment a creamy, hydrating slip. It smells (and tastes) like a vanilla sugar cookie — you’ll be reaching for it constantly.
Vacation Inc Chardonnay Lip Oil SPF 30
This decadent lip oil contains SPF 30 to provide UV protection, accompanied by a caramelly-gourmand scent. It gives the lips a glassy shine but doesn’t feel any bit greasy or sticky.
FILORGA Nutri-Filler Lips
Get plump lips without the stinging, burning sensation that typically accompanies most formulas. This balm-oil is like a drink of water for flaky, parched lips without feeling greasy or sticky. Pair it with their Global-Repair Eyes & Lips Serum for the ultimate repair.
Charlotte Tilbury Magic Lip Oil Crystal Elixir
If you’re looking for a lip treatment with humectants, emollients and occlusives, try this. “It's packed with hydrating humectant ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin, and skin barrier-supporting emollient ingredients like polyglycerides, sunflower seed oil, triglycerides, shea oil, camellia seed oil and rosa canina fruit oil,” says Dr. King. “Shea oil has both emollient and occlusive properties so this also helps to lock in moisture.”
