The signs of aging present themselves in more than just volume loss and crow’s feet. Your lips age right along with you, often feeling drier, appearing thinner and forming more lines. And while it won’t solve all of your age-related issues, I have been noticing a growing argument for one juicy-looking lip treatment that reviewers claim is making their lips look younger and feel impossibly smooth. As a lover of all things balms, masks and lip treatments, it’s honestly surprising that I have yet to try the Eadem Le Chouchou — a hybrid lip formula that, either by nature of my algorithm or by its sheer word-of-mouth force, I have been seeing literally everywhere. Users report a luscious and cushion-like texture that’s never sticky like the crumb-catching glosses of our youth. But more than just how luxe and wonderful this balm feels, it’s allegedly making a noticeable and lasting difference in lip hydration. “I’m on Accutane. Which means my lips are not ‘a little dry.’ They are chronically cracked, peeling, tight, inflamed, and constantly trying to split at the corners,” one Amazon customer writes. “Then I tried the Eadem Le Chouchou, and something shifted.”After trying nearly every formula from dermatology-office brands to overnight masks and thick occlusives, the same reviewer claims that this deeply nourishing formula was the only one that staved off the severe Accutane-caused dryness they had been experiencing — even more so than clinical formulas priced at $35 a pop.Other Eadem fans revere it for its ability to make their lips look younger, 10 years younger, in fact. “I have dryish lips with lots of wrinkles and I’ve tried just about everything to make them smooth and plump. It’s been a long time since I’ve come across a truly good, does what it says, doesn’t break the bank lip product like this. My lips are so smooth, they look 10 years younger,” one reviewer claims.In terms of product formula, it features some key players in the world of moisturization and nourishment, such as Brazilian açaí and African mongongo butters, which both function as skin conditioners and barrier strengtheners that help lock in moisture. And for an added anti-aging benefit, the gloss is enriched with peptides, an ingredient that dermatologists have told us has a long-standing reputation for boosting collagen and making skin appear firmer and more plump.The Eadem Le Chouchou also contains some less conventional ingredients like a buffet of fruit enzymes, lactic and pyruvic acid, which can help gently exfoliate and soften the lips, but also increase their ability to absorb moisture.It comes in up to eight sheer shades, including a completely clear option, each one providing a high-shine finish and flexible coating on the lips. The applicator is also unique in that it’s metal, so it feels cool on the lips and is more hygienic, since it won’t harbor bacteria like some flocked or plastic applicators.Customers insist that $24 is a price well worth paying for this “perfect amount of everything” lip treatment, which you can score for yourself from any of the links. Or keep reading to see why more people consider this to be the best lip balm ever.Promising Amazon reviews:“I’ve got DOZENS of lip products. You name it, I’ve tried it. I have dryish lips with lots of wrinkles and I’ve tried just about everything to make them smooth and plump. It’s been a long time since I’ve come across a truly good, does what it says, doesn’t break the bank lip product like this. My lips are so smooth they look 10 years younger. The colour is just enough for someone who doesn’t look good in most pigmented lip products. It might not be drugstore but it’s definitely still affordable and for how amazing this looks and feels, they can charge me whatever they want for it. I’m already thinking about other colours.” — Sandsaloo“I don’t throw around praise when it comes to lip balms. I’m on Accutane. Which means my lips are not ‘a little dry.’ They are chronically cracked, peeling, tight, inflamed, and constantly trying to split at the corners. I have tried everything — drugstore, pharmacy, dermatology-office brands, overnight masks, thick occlusives, expensive peptide treatments.The only combinations that worked before this were layering strategies or I’d use Perricone MD’s lip treatment — which works — but costs $35 for a very small tube. Then I tried EADEM Le Chouchou. And something shifted. The Texture: Immediate Difference. First application: I knew this wasn’t a standard balm.It’s cushiony without being sticky. Glossy without being slippery. It feels like a lip mask, gloss, and treatment in one. There’s this smooth, almost velvety glide that makes you keep pressing your lips together — not because they’re dry, but because the texture is genuinely satisfying.It feels expensive. But more importantly, it feels functional.” — Marcus Johansson (This review has been edited for length and clarity. Read the full review.)“Love the color and feel. Also my lips look fuller and I can’t see my wrinkles.” — Laura Turner“The best lip balm I have tried in a long time. It takes a lot for me to go through a tube of lip balm but I can already tell this is going to be one of those. Moisturizing, pleasant smell, thick but not stringy. Perfect amount of everything.” — Amazon customer If you want to shop for more line-filling lip treatments and balms, take a look at some of our most beloved formulas from previous coverage:AmazonThe cult-favorite Laneige Korean lip maskYou may not know this, but the brand behind this cult-favorite lip mask is Korean, and it's adored for its cushiony formula and intensely moisturizing capacity. It's a great way to smooth parched, flaky lips and minimize the appearance of dry, exaggerated lip lines. Available in several scents like gummy bear (my favorite), mixed berry, or peach iced tea, the Laneige lip mask uses a berry mix complex to boost moisture and deliver antioxidant benefits while you sleep, while a blend of shea and seed butters nourishes lips.AmazonAn editor-favorite Youthfull Lip Replenisher that smoothes the look of lip linesMy former colleague Janie Campbell swears by this Revision Skincare lip treatment. She was intrigued by the fact that it’s rich in peptides, including palmitoyl tripeptide-1 and palmitoyl tripeptide-38, along with other well-researched ingredients like vitamins E and C, green tea and hydrating ingredients like shea butter. After one overnight application, she could see the difference the next morning. It’s a game-changer for anyone who wants to improve the appearance of their lips without going under the needle, and is a nice, juicy option for the dry fall and winter months.AmazonThe Suquato butter balm overnight lip maskIf the Revision Skincare lip treatment is more than you want to spend on a lip care product, we recently covered the Suquato butter balm overnight lip mask as a more affordable comparison for dry and aging lips. This velvety overnight treatment draws moisture into the lips and features a potent peptide complex, which can help reduce the appearance of lip wrinkles and offer a plumping effect. It also contains softening shea butter and vitamin E to keep your pout nourished and protected from the elements. AmazonA lanolin-infused multi-balm that heals extreme drynessThe Lanolips 101 Ointment is one of my most reached-for lip care products that I use not just to hydrate and soften my pout, but also restore cracked skin on my hands, post-retinol flaking and peeling cuticles. This multi-purpose salve is bursting with the benefits of lanolin, a natural ingredient that has the ability to penetrate the lips’ moisture barrier and its high fat content, both of which contribute to its lasting hydrating properties. I like the formula because it actually stays on my lips for at least a couple of hours, so I’m not constantly reapplying, and the finish is the perfect level of glossy, without feeling sticky or looking too obnoxious.
