Isn’t it exciting to find a truly outstanding and groundbreaking product? It’s a huge joy and you want to tell everyone how great it is, use it all the time and revel in its glory and congratulate yourself on choosing it and seeing other people experience it too. It’s so satisfying to see good results that really make a purchase worthwhile.

That’s how I feel about Revision Skincare’s YouthFull Lip Replenisher, which I purchased last month when I was looking for something to nourish and treat my aging lips. My lips have suffered as much sun damage as the rest of my face over the past nearly five decades, and that was starting to show in fine lines. Signs of aging don’t bother me overly, but I do want to take care of my face, and of course I can’t just slather a retinol cream on my lips like I do with my crow’s feet. Lip skin is incredibly sensitive.

I thought one of the most promising lip-friendly ingredients would be peptides, as some peptides can rejuvenate skin and help with loss of firmness, dullness, and fine lines, while others are powerful antioxidants. While they don’t work miracles – no skincare product does – peptides can be effective, and some are gentle enough to be included in lip products. I’ve tried a few, including Hailey Bieber’s peptide lip gloss (what can I say? She has beautiful skin!), but nothing really appealed to me.

Then I gave it another try when I discovered Revision’s Peptide Treatment at Dermstore. Designed to combat visible signs of lip aging, it not only contains several peptides, including palmitoyl tripeptide-1 and palmitoyl tripeptide-38, but also other science-backed ingredients like vitamins E and C and green tea, which can pair well with peptides, as well as very solid moisturizers like shea butter. I applied it overnight—more on that pick below—and I can tell you, I could already see a difference the next morning. Right now, the Transformative Lip Treatment 20% discount by the way at Dermstore.

My lips weren’t in terrible shape, but they definitely seemed smoother than they have in years. They weren’t wrinkled. They didn’t look wrinkled. And they definitely felt incredibly healthy. I continued using it overnight and within a few days I felt like it was making a real difference. I was honestly floored every morning when I woke up and was constantly reminded during the day that they felt so fresh and smooth all the time. And considering how little I have to squeeze out to get a solid layer on my lips, I feel like this one tube is going to last an almost ridiculously long time (a relief considering $40 is a lot more than I normally spend on a lip balm).

I must note that when I first applied it, I knew immediately that it wasn’t going to be a product I would wear a lot during the day, even though Revisions recommends applying it three times a day. It is quite thick and sticky (if you’re constantly pulling your hair out of your lip gloss, you know what that’s like). But as one reviewer noted, this is actually the product’s superpower, because it is absolutely does not moveeven if you wear it overnight. “Although some reviews complain about the stickiness of the balm, that’s actually the great thing about this product!” wrote a Dermstore customer named Lizzie. “It sticks to the lips better than any other balm I’ve tried.”

I can attest to that. Every morning when I wake up, it’s still there as if I just applied it. I sleep on my side, but it doesn’t melt off or end up on my pillow. The fact that it sticks so firmly and lasts so long gives me peace of mind that all those little peptides are really working hard while I sleep, safely embedded on my lips in a formula that holds up very well.

Although some reviewers like using this formula as a daytime gloss, many others also just use it overnight and say it makes it easier for them to apply their lipstick the next day. Some aren’t as concerned about fine lines and just use it for dry, chapped lips in winter or desert climates (and they say it’s extremely effective for that). Read some promising opinions from verified Dermstore shoppers and Amazon reviewers below:

“I love this product. The day it arrived I used it twice, at lunchtime and before bed. When I woke up in the morning, I looked in the mirror twice. My 46-year-old lips reminded me of the lips of an 18-year-old in my graduation photos! They were more defined around the edges and a little plumper. The results after one night were amazing!” – Julie at Dermstore

“I have a pretty epic lip balm graveyard in my beauty cabinet, so I didn’t expect much from it, but it blew me away! It is so good. Very thick and sticky, but that helps it stay on all night. I just wipe off the residue in the morning and my lips look fantastic. I haven’t had a single flake of skin since I started using it. I also love the smell, which is very delicate. Will definitely buy it again.” — Anonymous at Dermstore

“There are tons of lip moisturizers and masks out there and I’ve tried many of them. They essentially have the same end result… temporary hydration of the lips. None of them ever really impressed me until I tried Revision! What makes it different? It adheres to the lips better than any other product I’ve ever tried. I put it on before bed and in the morning it’s STILL there! This type of adhesion means the active ingredients stay in contact with the lips longer so they can work their magic. My lips are moisturized and plumped all day long with just one application in the evening, so it’s very cost-effective too..” – Laura at Dermstore

“It actually works! My dermatologist recommended this to me. The results are somewhat visible at the beginning, but with daily use (throughout the day) my lips are fuller, fewer wrinkles! (46 years old)” – Amy Gragg on Amazon

“I’m embarrassed to say how many of these tubes I’ve bought since I first used them after a lip injection in August. There is absolutely nothing that comes close to it in both appearance and function.. It lasts for hours and my lips are plump, hydrated and regain their natural, healthy tone and texture. My only complaint is that there is no stamp card because I’m going to sink into this lip treatment.” – Jessica at Dermstore

“I’ve tried so many lip masks. Laneige, Tatcha, First Aid Beauty (was amazing and no longer made), Bite, Fresh, Ole Henricksen, Kiehl’s (tastes and smells amazing, stays on lips for 4 minutes)… Tarte, Buxom, Dior, was a Burt’s Bees fan for a decade. BB is good and keeps you hydrated but no active ingredients to nourish. Revision is a serious matter… I travel for work, fly on airplanes and change climates every week. My lips are soft and well cared for. I’m over 50 and don’t have any lip lines. **I can only highly recommend it. 10/10**” – Kimberly S on Amazon

“I didn’t want to love this product because of the price, but it really works. Makes my lips look plumper when I leave it on overnight. I definitely prefer this over the Laneige lip mask. It feels sticky, so it’s better to use it overnight rather than during the day.” – Lindsey at Dermstore
