Lip treatments
Typically used at routine step 10.
Lip skin has no sebaceous glands and a much thinner barrier than the rest of the face, so it dehydrates faster and repairs more slowly. Treatments generally work by occlusion — sealing water in — sometimes with humectants or soothing ingredients alongside. Frequent reapplication of a simple occlusive is more effective than an occasional heavily marketed one, and habitual lip-licking will undo either.

How we research lip treatments
We currently track 1 published product here. Every entry is compiled from manufacturer ingredient disclosures, published cosmetic science literature and UK retailer listings. We do not run clinical trials, and we do not publish a product until its formulation details have been checked against a source we can cite.
- Formulation: INCI lists, key actives, fragrance and alcohol status where the brand discloses them.
- Evidence: what the published research suggests for the key ingredients, and what it does not establish.
- UK availability: retailer listings and prices, with the date each was last checked. Where a price is not recent enough to quote, we say “check latest price” instead of guessing.
Results from cosmetic products are formulation-dependent and vary between people. Read our review methodology, browse the ingredient explainers or compare options in the comparison tool.
Choosing lip treatments
- Occlusive balms overnight, lighter formulas during the day.
- Flavourings and menthol can sting compromised lips; unscented is safer when they are cracked.
- Persistent cracking at the corners is worth raising with a pharmacist or GP.
