ETUDEGinger Sugar Overnight Lip Mask 23g | Korean Lip Sleeping Mask Skin Care | Smooth and Moist Lips | Natural Ingredients Nourish & Hydrate Ginger Shea Butter Give Moisturizing Effect

Know that you are buying a very tacky product! I read reviews and was expecting a thicker lip mask but this is thick AND really sticky, like you need to put your hair up and not kiss your dogs/cats for a while kind of sticky. I’ve found a thicker layer works best and subdues tackiness slightly. I was freaked out at first, but after waking up the next morning, I can say this stuff actually works. I’m a huge lip balm addict and have tried probably hundreds of balms and masks. This one is the most unique one I’ve ever tried, and I’m actually in love with it. I’ve never had a product maintain moisture through the night and into the next day even when it’s no longer on my lips. Truly does smooth out lines and dry cracks in the lips. I was also expecting a gingerbread type of scent, however this is scented *very* lightly and more fresh ginger/citrusy. I’m glad I found this and kept an open mind with it because I think I’ve found my holy grail lip mask!

Honestly man this stuff is so thick and gloopy that it’s kind of ridiculous, but as someone cursed with chronically dry lips, I have come to be heavily reliant on this product. Admittedly, I have not used many lip sleeping masks so I’m open to the idea that there may be better out there, but out of the ones I remember trying (laneige, klavuu, and aritaum/etude) this is by far the best. Laneige was okay but klavuu did absolutely nothing for me. I think the aritaum (now etude) works so well BECAUSE of its slightly tedious texture. Whereas laneige and klavuu are thinner and more slippery, the etude stays in place and maintains a thick, cushiony barrier so long as you don’t accidentally rub it off in your sleep. The occlusivity of the product means that it works best when there’s preexisting hydration on the lips, as it functions mostly as a sealing layer. This can be achieved by applying a bit of moisturizer on the lips beforehand. Because it’s so thick, I wipe it off with a piece of paper towel which helps remove the dead skin that has already been softened and loosened by the lip mask; I’m sure a tissue would work as well but I prefer how the sturdiness and texture of the paper towel aids in exfoliation. It’s super satisfying and honestly the main selling point for me. That being said, the satisfaction that comes with exfoliation makes it easy to go overboard so be mindful and gentle. This product probably won’t eradicate your need for lip balm but it’ll at least reduce the frequency at which you need to apply it, and it also makes as great prep for lip product application. Also I swear this tub lasts for ages, and for $10 it’s quite economical as well. If you’re a fellow victim of dry lips and are looking for a semi-affordable solution, I would highly recommend giving this a go.

This is not a cutesy lip balm to carry around during the day. It’s as thick and sticky as everyone else says it is. And that’s why it’s great. This stays on the lips so well overnight, and has tremendously helped with winter dryness and soreness. It also smells nice, but it’s faint and fades quickly so you don’t need to worry about it overpowering your senses.Overall: the texture won’t be for everyone, but it does work really well.

I like ETUDE products. This one is weird. I have never used such a product. Everybody here seems to like this...but the texture is so sticky and uncomfortable on my lips. It is so sticky that even water and soap struggles to remove it from my finger after application. I would be horrified to accidentally get this stuff on my skin. Is this NORMAL or is this product DEFECTIVE? Should I put lip balm on first before using this sticky stuff...to seal it? It definitely seals something. I use lip balm all day and evening...and have a bad habit during the day and evening of pressing and rubbing my lips together. I only apply this at bedtime obviously... and this stuff won't let me do that. That is a GOOD THING. Once you get it on your lips...it isn't comin' off...until Morning. I wake up and its gone. If this is how it is supposed to work...can someone reassure me of that? I'm a bit weirded out about this product and its texture. Thanks to anyone who can reassure me that this product is safe and works like it is supposed to.

For those who are concerned about the tackiness/stickiness of this product, I've got a tip for you!! Put a thick layer of the etude balm on then apply a layer of vasaline/aquaphor/balm of your choice. This mitigates the stickiness and transforms the etude balm into a smooth and thick lip mask that still stays put all night and hydrates! It also helps you get the product off your finger too. In the morning, I remove it by gently using my electric toothbrush when I brush my teeth, which also provides extra exfoliation and further preps my lips for lip tints/stains etc.Before finding this amazing mask, I used vasaline every night as I have ridiculously dry lips. I was annoyed to have to reapply if I woke in the night and not have it stay put through the morning (I'm a sad mouth breather). With this lip mask, one application is all you need. My lips have been transformed!!! The balm doesn't have a strong scent, just the slightest hint of ginger that dissapates quickly. It imparts a cooling sensation after application which is so nice.When they are dry, they are so light in color, almost white but after using this balm regularly (night and day, goes great over a lip tint once the gloss comes off), my lips are pink, plump and smooth. I still have wrinkles on them but that's unavoidable. This little tin will last so long so the price is so great compared to other trendy lip masks. This has become one of my holy grail products! I have another that performs the same that I really love as well but is way more expensive. This lip mask really is a steal!

The product is moisturizing but very sticky, I bought this cause someone else said “oh it made my lips super pink!”…. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now nothings really changed. I still use this product cause it makes my lips soft so I put it on and sleep with it. rather than that I don’t know if it’s worth the buy
