We don’t know about you, but a super-harsh winter (plus two bouts of the flu) have really taken a toll on our lips (besides which, we’re always looking for products to make our mouth more gorgeous). Rather than reach for the drugstore stuff, we decided to test-drive three higher-end treatments to see how they work. Discover the results of our lip-smacking experiment below. —Noa Nichol
valmont prime lip repair. Containing active ingredients like HP RNA and DNA, avocado oil, borage oil, vitamins A and E and jojoba oil, we patted this silky lip treatment on and around our lips morning, noon and night (there’s no such thing as too much) and instantly noticed an improvement in dryness and plumpness. After a few applications, we swear the fine lines around our mouth improved. Best of all, applied after lipstick, this gorgeous product created a satiny, glowy finish. Win-win! valmontcosmetics.com
dermalogica nightly lip treatment. This new offering’s self-proclaimed aim is to help us "say goodbye to lip lines" while we sleep. We tried it, and were legitimately impressed by the improvement we saw, relatively quickly, in those pesky laugh and feather lines around our mouth. The formula is nice and rich, thanks to Indian gentian and sesame seed extracts, plus vitamin-rich Shea butter, and provided the huge boost of hydration we were hoping for. dermalogica.ca
111skin meso infusion lip mask and plumping duo. Just opening this little pot is a treat—the two side-by-side treatments inside (a white plumping mask with a "needle-free" collagen called Neodermyl and a pink nourishing balm containing Hilurlip, Super Sterol Liquid and Bisabolol) were carefully created by a cosmetic surgeon to work in tandem to boost the natural volume of the lips, needle free. We swear our pout looks more youthful already! 111skin.com
