No, Not a Filler—This Incredible Lip Plumper Has Rapidly Become My Go-To Product

      I've been pondering getting lip filler for quite some time. The issue is, I'm really afraid of needles, which complicates things. Over the years, I've tried numerous lip balms, plumpers, and liners to see if any could give me a fuller lip look. While I've discovered plenty of favorites, nothing has performed quite like the Dr. Dennis Gross DermInfusions Lip Tint. You might have heard me mention Dr. Dennis Gross before, as I'm quite fond of 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/lip gloss hybrid designed to provide a plump, glass-like effect almost instantly. So, when the brand introduced tinted versions earlier this year (offering fuller-looking lips with a touch of color), I was eager to try them. Fortunately, a few samples arrived at my desk, and after testing them out, they've quickly become my go-to for giving the illusion of having lip filler done discreetly. Honestly, just the other day, my friends asked if I had finally gotten filler, and their reactions when I told them it was all thanks to this £26 lip balm were priceless. If you want to learn more, keep reading for my detailed review.

      **The Formula**

      You might be curious how a simple lip balm can achieve such striking results. Interestingly, the formula is inspired by in-clinic procedures, and the packaging gives it an injectable treatment vibe. It features a powerful blend of hyaluronic acid, peptides (you know we love a peptide-infused lip balm), squalane, bisabolol, and centella asiatica to transform dry, chapped lips into a plump, glossy finish right before your eyes.

      **The Shades**

      This product initially launched in a clear shade, but there are now four tinted options available: pale pink, beige, deep berry, and rich chocolate brown. I personally chose the pale pink for a "your lips but better" effect. However, I think the deep brown shade would also be fantastic for achieving a '90s lip look.

      **The Application**

      As mentioned, this product doesn't resemble your usual lip balm or gloss. Instead, it has a design reminiscent of an injectable treatment. To use it, you click the base of the tube to dispense your preferred amount. The brand suggests starting from the fullest area of your lips and staying within the lines (I sometimes like to outline my lips with a lip liner first). Just a heads-up, like many lip plumping treatments, this may cause a little tingling initially, but that sensation is brief.

      **The Results**

      **Before**

      **After**

      As demonstrated, this product enhances lip volume while providing a glossy, glass-like shine and a subtle tint (no lip stain needed). I'm genuinely obsessed with the before-and-after comparison. As you can see from the before image, my lips are extremely dry and chapped, featuring numerous fine lines. This product smooths them out, making my lips appear full and hydrated. It's no surprise that my friends thought I had lip filler when I first used it. If you're looking for a versatile lip product that eliminates the need to carry around a lip balm, lip gloss, and lipstick, I highly recommend adding this to your cart right away.
