Feels nice, taste is heinous

Product does work well, my lips feels great, but the taste of this product you have to put on your mouth is absolutely mental. I have no idea how this got out of testing all things considered, it's also a bit annoying that it's a dropper vs a regular applicator,

Kinda disappointed

I was really looking forward to using this as I regularly use a lot of The Ordinary's products, but the serum dried my lips out even when I used lip balm after application. It helped me to use it more infrequently (once a month instead of once a week), but I was still shocked at how much more cracked and dry my lips were after I first started using it. I wouldn't really go out of my way to buy this again, but I will say that the taste isn't as horrible as some have said if you accidentally get it in your mouth (atleast for me)

Great for Dark Lips

I have been using this lip serum since Nov. 2025. I thought this lip serum would be helpful in keeping my lips soft. I didn't have much hope in this lip serum lightening my dark lip hyperpigmentation. But to my surprise, within 60 days of use as instructed my dark lips are no more. My lips are smooth and have great pigment. My only concern is the product pictured online is a very pink color and my bottle is a fair pink/cream color. Not sure what color it should be.

Another wonderful product by The Ordinary

I was looking for a lip exfoliator and as I passed The Ordinary display at Ulta, I saw this product. I use several products from The Ordinary, so I decided to give this a try. It's a liquid with the consistency of a thin syrup. It does NOT have "scrubbing grains" in it…..it comes with a dropper, so I put one small drop on my finger and apply it to my lips. I do this at night before bedtime. I'm surprised this works just like the "scrubs", but without the scrubbing beads. My lips are soft and smooth in the morning…no mess. They suggest using it every other day…I have been using it Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. In time, I may use it more often. I highly recommend this product.

Lasts forever

I've had this bottle since October and I've been steadily using it 1-2 times a week. It lasts forever! It also works great, you hardly need to use any and I can feel the results the next morning.

Best thing I have bought for my lips!!

I've always been bad at biting and picking at my lips for years and years. If you do it too then you know the struggle. I've used every chapstick and balm on the market, they feel nice but nothing I've found truly heals my lips. I bought this about two weeks ago to try and I noticed a difference after the first use. After about 3-4 uses every other night before bed, my lips are fully healed and the softest they have ever been. I don't leave reviews so I'm kicking myself for not taking before and after pictures but this means a lot to me and I hope it helps someone with the same issues I have. Yeah, it doesn't taste great but that's the last thing I cared about when I tried this product. One bottle will last forever and I'll continue to use this on a regular basis. The Ordinary for the win!!

It's ok

Its ok. Been using it since December 2025 and the only thing I noticed is that my lips are peel alot more than it used too. It works be great if only it did cause me to get split lip and my lips were more hydrating.

it works!

Yep, It works as promised. I have been using it at night a few times a week for several weeks. I put it on just before going to sleep, and wake up not with chapped lips, but with smooth, soft skin. I recommend without pause.

I wish I liked it

I started using the product and thought I really liked it and used it less than recommended when I started getting a bad reaction. I have chemical burns inside my lips now even though I was so careful with it and they wont away and its so painful. I wont be using it again sadly.

Fist step before gloss/lip stick!

I loveeeee this! Im Black with thick lips, sometimes can be dry/peeling. I love weering lip gloss daily so putting a drop of this on my lips before lip gloss helps my lips to not peel. It feels like a layer of skin sealant, kinda like if you're about to paint your house walls a pretty color but you add a white base coat first to make sure there won't be any patchiness. Only purchased one bottle so far but I think the bottle will last me 3 months if used daily!

WARNING!! Do NOT buy if you have very sensitive skin!

If I could give this product 0 stars I would. I used this product ONE time on my lips and had the worst reaction of my life. This may just be a (me) thing since I have sensitive skin, but my entire lips peeled off. They were oozing a yellow liquid, peeling, and had chemical burn blisters for almost 2 weeks. This product created cracks in my lips on the inside that burned whenever I tried to eat or drink. Please be wary of this product if you have sensitive skin. The first picture is my lips before and the second is after when my lips puffed up, inflamed and started to ooze. Please patch test this product on the inside of your elbow before applying to the lips!!

elimates peeling lips

Love this product. I use it every few days and it elimates the peeling on my lips. Taste is a little bitter, but not intended to "taste". Very good product for exfoliating and softening lips.

It's fine

This product clearly has a high amount of glycerin, the texture is similar to pure glycerin. The main issue i experienced with it is that it takes a long time to absorb into the lips (which is very typical of products with SO much glycerin). Since it's just an exfoliating serum, and needs a lip balm on top to seal in the moisture I have to wait a while before i can apply the balm. I advise applying a really tiny amount, less than a drop, because then it will be absorb faster. Ask for the performance of the product, it's fine. Hydrating, doesn't stand out from other hydrating serums i've applied to my lips.

I would buy this product forever

I've had chronically dry, chapped lips my whole life. This is a life changer. I use it 3-4 times a week as recommended and follow with lip balm. No more chapped lips. Love this stuff!!!

Great product

I did tell a friend and my daughter about this and how well it worked because my lips are constantly peeling and so dry no matter how much lip balm or Vaseline or anything that I put on them
