To achieve a plumper pout, the age-old saying “beauty is pain” tends to ring true. Between irritating plumping glosses and intense filler injections, volumizing methods that are healthy, easy, and affordable are practically nonexistent. Well, except for the Tripeptide Plumping Lip Balm from The Inkey List. It’s clinically-formulated to visibly boost natural lip volume in just four weeks, with a uniquely hydrating and restorative formula that leaves other lip-burning plumper products in the dust. The Inkey List just released three new shades of the cult-favorite balm, making for a stellar daily lip treatment and high-shine gloss in one.

The Tripeptide Plumping Lip Balm is the bestseller among The Inkey List’s lineup of anti-aging serums, sunscreens for acne-prone skin, and soothing eye creams, with a TikTok fanbase of over 38 million views and searches for long-term reviews and swatches of the brand new lip tint shades. If you have yet to get in on the hype, this unique balm formula comes powered with peptides and Ultra Filling Sphere technology to repair dry lips, deposit a high-shine finish, and effectively plump with regular use. The best part? You don’t have to suffer through that fiery, tingling sensation that occurs with most plumping lip gloss formulas — this one is ultra-soothing, and as comfortable to wear and reapply as your favorite lip gloss or lip oil.

The new lip balm colors come in a range of three universally flattering, neutral shades that compliment both bare skin and high-glam makeup looks, from a skin-brightening pink tint, your-lips-but-better mocha brown, and rich, just-bitten berry. Infused with small flecks of shimmer that up the high-shine effect, these buildable colors are easy to swipe on without a mirror while you’re on the go, or layer with your favorite lip liners and nude lipsticks as a daytime treatment (which will only accelerate the long-term plumping results). Plus, the $13 price tag is so affordable compared to other popular plumping lip glosses that not only dry out the lips, but can also run you upwards of $40.

“This stuff is amazing!,” said one Tripeptide Plumping Lip Balm tester. “It’s super hydrating! I put it on three to four times a day as directed, and I’ve seen amazing results. I also put it on before bed and my lips look so full in the morning. Great price!” Another said, “I really love this product! As I’ve aged I’ve lost fullness in my lips. This stuff is amazing and actually works!”
