Smooth, Supple and Hydrated Lips Await: 5 HA-Infused Lip Balms for Ultimate Moisture
Hyaluronic acid, we know this hydrating ingredient most commonly formulated in our serums and face creams to give us plumper complexions and keep us moisturised, but did you know you can also find it in a lot of your lip products too?
As we edge closer to winter and dry, cracked lips are no doubt on the horizon, keeping your pout nourished, hydrated and plumped with one of these hyaluronic acid-infused lip balms is your best bet for keeping parched lips in check.

AB customer PCA SKIN Hyaluronic Acid Lip Booster review:
"I get really dry lips no matter how hydrated I am. This stuff is amazing. When I put it on at night my lips still feel hydrated in the morning. I'm always on the hunt for something that actually works for my lips and while this is very expensive i actually think it's worth it compared to a lot of others out there. A little goes a long way so the tube is lasting me a while using twice daily. Also good for aging with the HA around the lips, nice and plump looking." - Modo.

Peter Thomas Roth customer with an Instant FIRMx® Lip Filler review:
"I received this product complimentary from the company. I have tried a lot of lip plumpers but this one is by far the best. I apply it to clean dry lips. It does tingle for awhile but it is not uncomfortable. I love this formula because after a few minutes, my lips look fuller, smoother, and plumper, and my lip lines even look more improved. I use to get lip filler but it is too costly and painful. This is a needle-free alternative that works fairly instantly at making my thin dry lips look plumper and hydrated. Love it." - Jan Marla.
