Reformulation Alert

The internet’s favorite overnight lip treatment just got a makeover, but fans are divided on the new formula.

Expert Analysis · Honest Reviews · Real Results

1.💋The Drama Unmasked

My DMs flooded when the reformulation news hit. Panic. Betrayal. Memes.

The real issue? The texture. OG fans say the new one feels thinner — like it disappears before morning.

2.⚠️The Basics

An overnight lip mask. $24. The claim? Wake up with pillowy-soft lips. The hype was unreal.

Same iconic pink pot, now with a wider mouth.

No more mineral oil or synthetic dyes.

The berry scent is fainter — almost floral.

3.🧪What’s Inside Now

They swapped the heavy occlusives for plant butters. The goal: hydration over just sealing it in.

4.🤔The Feel Test

It’s whipped. Sinks in fast — almost too fast. The old one was a sticky security blanket.

By week two, I noticed less flaking. But I also reapplied at 3 AM once. It just…vanished.

💡

One Thing: Slug your lips. Apply a thin layer of your regular moisturizer first, *then* the mask. Game saver.

5.💬Who It’s For

My lips were softer, yes. But that iconic “glossy morning after” look? Gone. It’s more maintenance.

✅

Buy if

You hate thick, goopy balms and want daytime hydration.

⏭️

Skip if

You have severely dry, cracked lips or loved the original’s heavy occlusive feel.

💰

Worth it?

At $24, only if you get the mini first. The jar lasts forever, though.

6.⭐Final Call

It’s a good lip mask now, not a legendary one. The reformulation smoothed the edges — literally — and lost some magic.

7.0/10

A solid performer that lost its cult status.

🛍️

Where to Buy: Get the mini from Laneige or Sephora first. Don’t commit to the full jar blind.
