Why it’s worth it: Parched lips are no match for Laneige’s Lip Sleeping Mask, which has racked up three Allure Readers’ Choice Awards in 2021, 2022, and 2023. It coats cracked lips in moisturizing and protective ingredients, including shea butter, vitamin C, and glycerin. After one use, our tester’s lips were “soft, supple, (kissable, if you will), and plump,” she said. “What’s more: Those tiny lip lines I don’t love on myself appeared visibly diminished.” In case you weren’t already sold, it smells like fresh berries. Laneige has tons of scrumptious flavors—both permanent and limited-edition—such as Gummy Bear, Vanilla, and Watermelon Pop.
Tester feedback: “There’s a reason it’s a top-seller on Amazon,” says shopping editor Angela Trakoshis. “It moisturizes lips for hours on end—no reapplication needed. I apply the smallest amount of this stuff on my dry lips at night and am guaranteed to wake up with soft, hydrated lips in the morning.”

Tester feedback: “This silky, milky formula absorbs at lightning speed and leaves my skin cashmere-soft,” says former Allure beauty editor Devon Abelman. “If you couldn’t tell already, I love a pump for body-care products and appreciate that Aestura’s Atobarrier 365 Ceramide Lotion has one for quick, mess-free application.”

Best Splurge: Amorepacific Vintage Single Extract Essence
AmorePacific
Vintage Single Extract Essence
Why it’s worth it: This 2018 Allure Best of Beauty Award winner, Amorepacific Vintage Single Extract Essence, comes with a heftier price tag, but it makes sense given the work that goes into it: The hand-picked leaves from South Korea’s Jeju Island are fermented for 50 days, aged in traditional Korean earthenware for another 50 days, and then extracted for 24 hours to create a concentrated skin superfood. Green tea leaves are rich in antioxidants, which means they’ll defend your skin against free-radical damage caused by UV rays and pollution—while allowing your skin-care products to soak in better.
Conclusion:
These three products have earned their spot on our list due to their impressive performance and rave reviews. Whether you’re dealing with dry, dehydrating skin or parched lips, there’s something for everyone on this list.
