No, Not Filler—This Amazing Lip Plumper Has Quickly Become My Favorite Product.
I've been contemplating whether to get lip filler for quite some time. The issue is that I'm really afraid of needles, which complicates the decision. Over the years, I've tried some of the best lip balms, plumpers, and liners to see if any could enhance the look of my lips. While I've discovered quite a few favorites, none have provided results like the Dr. Dennis Gross DermInfusions Lip Tint. You might have heard me mention Dr. Dennis Gross before, as I really admire the brand’s LED mask and exfoliating skincare products. However, I had never used the original DermInfusions Plump + Repair Lip Treatment, a clear lip balm and gloss hybrid aimed at achieving a plump, glassy finish in moments. Thus, when the brand introduced tinted versions earlier this year (offering fuller-looking lips with a touch of color), I was eager to try them out. Fortunately, a few samples arrived at my desk, and after testing them, they've quickly become my favorite product for making it seem like I've secretly had lip filler. Seriously, my friends even asked me recently if I had finally gone for lip filler, and their reactions when I told them it was all thanks to this £26 lip balm were priceless. If you're curious to learn more, keep reading for my full review.

**The Formula**
You might be curious about how such a simple lip balm can achieve such striking results. Interestingly, the formula was inspired by in-clinic procedures, and the packaging resembles that of an injectable treatment. It features a powerful blend of hyaluronic acid, peptides (which we know provide great benefits), squalane, bisabolol, and centella asiatica to transform dry, chapped lips into a plump, glossy appearance almost instantly.
**The Shades**
Initially, this product was released in a clear shade, but now there are four tinted options available: pale pink, beige, deep berry, and rich chocolate brown. I chose the pale pink for a "your lips but better" look, but I believe the deep brown shade would also be perfect for a '90s lip aesthetic.
**The Application**
As I mentioned, this product doesn't resemble the usual lip balm or gloss. It looks more like an injectable treatment. To use it, you click the bottom of the tube to dispense your preferred amount, and the brand suggests starting at the fullest part of your lips and staying within the borders (I sometimes like to outline my lips with a lip liner first). Just a word of caution: like most lip plumping products, this may cause a slight tingle initially, but it fades quickly.
**The Results**
*Before*
*After*
As shown, this product enhances the lips while imparting a glossy, glass-like shine and a subtle tint (eliminating the need for lip stain). I'm truly enamored with the before-and-after effects. You can probably see from my before picture that I have very dry, chapped lips with many fine lines. This product smooths out my lips and makes them appear fuller and more hydrated. It’s no surprise my friends thought I had lip filler the first time I wore this. If you're looking for a versatile lip product that eliminates the need to carry a lip balm, gloss, and lipstick in your bag constantly, I highly recommend adding this to your cart right away.
