25 Best Lip Balms for Ridiculously Smooth Lips

Say hello to the OG cult-favorite lip balm in the beauty world: Vaseline. If you don't wanna mess with a million and one pricey formulas and just want something that does its damn JOB, stop here and add this baby to your cart RN.

THE REVIEW: "My lips were cracked and bleeding...I tried using an expensive lip product and it did not stay on long and it didn't help my lips heal. I decided to purchase Vaseline and was blown away by the results. After two days, my lips were no longer cracked or bleeding, and the hard skin had healed," reads one customer's review.

This 100 percent natural beeswax lip balm is formulated with vitamin E and peppermint oil to deliver instant hydration to those dry, chapped lippies of yours—it's that gooood. Don't believe me? Maybe one of the 75,000 5-star Amazon reviewers will convince ya...

THE REVIEW: "I live in a very dry environment so having moisturizing products is a necessity. With Burt's Bees, I've never been disappointed. The lip balm actually moisturizes your lips, rather than other brands that merely leave a coat over your lips that for whatever reason makes your lips dryer than if you had done nothing," reads one customer's written review.

Drunk elephant rarely disappoints, and its Lippe Balm is no exception. A blend of avocado oil, mongongo oil, and peptides will leave your lips feelin' like a baby's butt. Reapply the super buttery formula throughout the day for some smooth AF lips.

THE REVIEW: "I’m obsessed with this stupid lip balm. I mean I wish I could find something I like as much for cheaper, but it just feels so nice on my lips. I just use it every night and it keeps my lips happy and smooth," writes one tester.

Nothing screams luxury quite like Chanel. If you want to pamper le lips, get yourself this nourishing lip balm by Chanel. I know, I know, the price is a bit scary, but according to reviews, it will last a super long time, so you'll def get a bang for your buck.

THE REVIEW: "I am not a big fan of lip balms in general because I hate how they feel except for this one from Chanel! It is worth it not only because of the pretty package, but because it actually works wonders. You don't need a lot to see the results! Love it even better than LA Mer," writes one tester.

The hero ingredient in this bb? Squalane. Not only does it include squalane (which, btw, is my personal favorite hydrating ingredient), but it also has hyaluronic acid, which will visibly plump those lippies of yours sans the burning.

THE REVIEW: "I am enjoying this balm! It provides a sufficient coating without feeling sticky or yucky. It has a faint pleasant rose scent, and I have found that my lips are wonderfully soft," one customer writes.

Say hellooooo to this lip treatment balm with a slew of moisturizing ingredients. Hyaluronic acid, peptides, and squalane work together to visibly plump your lips while keeping them moisturized and smoothed alllll day long.

THE REVIEW: "I use this as an overnight lip mask every day, and every morning I wake up with hydrated lips that look super plump and healthy. I love it," one tester writes.

If you're looking for a lip balm that gives you a glossy, pretty shine, look no further than the Ilia Lip Wrap Reviving Balm. Not only will this lip balm deeply hydrate those chapped lips of yours, but it also makes a great addition to the top of a lipstick.

THE REVIEW: "The Ilia Lip Wrap Reviving Balm is amazing! My lips went from dry/flaky to smooth and ultra moisturized from the first application. It's a thicker balm that glides on effortlessly, does not feel sticky at all, and leaves your lips looking smoother with a soft, glossy shine," one tester writes.

If you're looking for a lip balm that doubles as an intense moisturizing mask, this here is your guy. My favorite use for it? Taking it with me on trips. There's nothing worse than your lips feeling ultra dry and chapped after hours of traveling, and this butter balm cures all (!!)

THE REVIEW: "I have every single color in this lip balm. It is truly incredible and one of the best products I’ve ever used!! Super hydrating, smells delicious, and makes my lips look pretty and plump," writes one customer.

Yes, it's absolutely important to protect your lips from the sun. Enter: The Cay Skin Isle Lip Balm with SPF 30. This incredible formula will give you the correct amount of SPF protection, hydrate your lips, and leave a glossy shine that isn't sticky. Win, win, and win.

THE REVIEW: "The first ever SPF lip balm that I’ve tried that feels nice on the lips, smells great, and doesn’t have the taste of sunscreen! My lips are soft, have a nice gloss, and the tube had plenty of product inside," one tester writes.

IMO, there is nothing more refreshing than swiping on a minty lip balm. Agree? Grab this peppermint-infused lip balm from Glossier and slather it all over your lips for a super-moisturizing and cooling, tingly effect.

THE REVIEW: "I honestly don’t know why it took me so long to buy a Balm Dotcom, but I’m glad I did. As someone who has tried many chapsticks, lip oils, and balms, this is definitely one of my favorites! It stays on for so long, cutting the number of times you’d have to reapply. Plus, they smell so good and keep your lips moisturized and shiny!" reads one customer's review.

IDK what I love more, this lip balm's pretty rose scent or its ability to make my lips feel baby soft. The vegan, cruelty-free formula uses moringa, cotton, and kukui oils to plump lips and deeply moisturize them almost instantly.

THE REVIEW: "I am a lip balm junkie and this one kept popping on my Instagram feed. I love this lip balm! Not only is it moisturizing, but it also has a great texture/formula and it smells AMAZING!!" writes one tester.

No joke, I have, like, 10 of these cheapie Aquaphor lip balms (you get two for just seven bucks) within reach at all times—they’re that damn good. I keep one in my car, one in my bag, one at my desk, one on my nightstand, and five more on deck in my medicine cabinet.

THE REVIEW: "I hoard lip balms and use them RELIGIOUSLY. These Aquaphor sticks are my favorite: they’re affordable, unscented and unflavored, packaged well, not super hard to find in stores, and are a thicker shape. Super moisturizing, but don’t leave an obnoxious shine on the lips," one customer writes.

I'm obsessed with this lip balm's jelly texture. It's lightweight (aka it soaks in fast and isn't the slightest bit sticky), but is still super nourishing and soothing, thanks to squalane, camellia oil, Japanese peach extract, and rose extracts. Once you smooth it on, your lips will feel moisturized, full and plump, and just the right amount of shiny.

THE REVIEW: "This product is totally worth the money if that's what you're wondering. After only one use, you have brand new baby lips. The actual product itself feels so luxurious and thick, plus it's beautiful!!!" one customer writes.

This is the ideal lip balm for winter when your lips are in need of serious TLC. The thick, buttery texture is full of soothing and moisturizing ingredients like colloidal oatmeal, beeswax, and honey to turn flaky, chapped lips silky smooth.

THE REVIEW: "I had been suffering with terribly dry, chapped, painful, and peeling lips for about eight months. I tried a number of products to heal my lips—from bottom-of-the-line drug store cures to top-of-the-line beauty treatments—and nothing helped. I got this on Monday, and now it's Friday, and my lips are soft and flexible again," one tester writes.

Not only is this fancy tinted lip balm from Chanel supremely moisturizing (shout-out to moringa butter), but it also gives your lips a sheer and shiny red stain that looks so freaking pretty.

THE REVIEW: "Love this lip balm...step aside Dior!! I purchased the color 'Light' and it’s just the perfect pink. I had to purchase another one for my teenage daughter. Chanel never disappoints," writes one reviewer.

If you only use one all-natural beauty product in your routine, let it be lip balm (like this one from Follain) that’s made with organic, plant-based ingredients.

THE REVIEW: "I don't want to love a $9 lip balm...but I do. The smell, the formula, and the application are all wonderful. I keep one at my desk and one in my bag. I can't use anything else now," writes one customer.

If you’re not into sticky, tacky lip balms (hi, same), then pls allow me to introduce you to this lightweight one from Lano. It has a serum-y, water-like texture that soaks into your lips in seconds, and the formula is loaded with hydrating hyaluronic acid and glycerin to keep lips moisturized.

THE REVIEW: "My lips needed some deeeep level comfort, and this is just perfect—it sinks in and delivers that deep hydration. It's more oil, so it's not sticky at all, and I don't feel the need to reapply after because it actually hydrates my lips instead of just coating them," one review reads.

The EOS egg is a total drugstore classic, and for good reason: It really, truly works. This one is made with sustainably-sourced shea butter and nourishing plant oils to keep lips hydrated for up to 24 hours. P.S. the yummy honey apple flavor smells just like freshly-sliced apples.

THE REVIEW: "This is the best little lip balm ever! We LOVE the flavors and we love how they work. AND, they are SO cute! Just throw one into your purse and you're good to go!" one tester writes.

If you’re prone to dry, cracked lips, this overnight mask lip balm from Bite Beauty is about to be the new MVP of your p.m. routine. It contains repairing antioxidants and time-released moisturizers that smooth and plump your lips throughout the night.

THE REVIEW: "The lip balm is currently my favorite as it makes my lips soft and supple both day and night," one review reads.

Think of this shimmery lip balm as a highlighter for your lips—a few swipes will literally make them glow. It's made with moisturizing ingredients to turn chapped lips soft and smooth, plus tiny glitter particles to reflect light and leave your lips looking luminous.

THE REVIEW: "Don’t be scared by the hue because it applies basically clear. This balm makes my lips feel soft and moisturized without feeling sticky or goopy. It’s unscented which is great, and it's a great buy to treat yourself—a little attainable luxury!" one review reads.
