The Very Best Lip Treatments Ever

This category covers the very best lip treatments, regardless of price. Feel free to weigh in on your favorites. This list is actually comprised of two separate lists:
1) The Beauty Insider's Picks: My own personal list of the best products in that category, in no particular order
2) The Popular Vote: The results of a poll I did of over 1000 beauty-savvy consumers, in order of popularity

The Beauty Insider's Picks
1. City Lips Collagen Lip Plumping Treatment: Unlike most lip plumpers, City Lips is not designed to be a quick fix, though you may notice a difference immediately. Over time, however, I noticed my lips looking fuller and plumper. It’s available in clear as well as a variety of colors. $29
2. Benefit Lipscription: Many lip exfoliants are irritating, but Benefit’s two-part version features gentle jojoba beads and AHAs to buff, and a lip balm to soothe and hydrate. $28
3. English Ideas Lip Refine AHA Exfoliating Cream: This product’s patented time release formula dissolves dead, chapped skin while you sleep. $32
4. Smashbox Emulsion Lip Exfoliant: This deliciously-scented, perfectly edible sugar-and-peppermint scrub acts as a wake up call for dehydrated lips. Rub it in and wipe it off for smooth, silky lips. $18
5. Too Faced Lip Injection: This product works in a similar way to Duwop Lip Venom, increasing the flow of blood to the lips and causing them to appear fuller, if only temporarily. It’s also a great, long-lasting gloss. $18.50
6. Mary Kay Satin Lips Set: This two-part product features a lip mask that exfoliates and smoothes, followed by a very emollient lip balm. Use this at night and you’ll wake up with kissably soft lips. $18
7. Molton Brown Wonder Lips Booster: Like the City Lips product, this works gradually over time to increase fullness and plumpness in lips, but like most plumpers, the effect is temporary. $38
8. Duwop Lip Venom: If you can handle the tingle, this popular product will temporarily plump up and redden your lips with a combo of essential oils, including cinnamon and ginger. $15
9. Beauticontrol Lip Apeel: This lip treatment features a lip mask to exfoliate and a lip balm to hydrate, in one cute, convenient container. Almost instant gratification. $18
10. Alchemy Medic Lip Scrub: Jojoba beads and avocado oil work together to gently exfoliate, while cinnamon provides a shot of flavor. $15
