Plumping lip treatments have become an incredibly popular way to achieve the effects of lip filler without having to actually visit a professional. While the results are typically temporary, you’ll see a noticeable difference within minutes of applying—that is, if you pick the right formula. BeautyBio’s The Pout comes highly-reviewed by shoppers for numerous reasons, and after reading the reviews, I decided to try it for myself.
The lip plumping serum contains hyaluronic acid filling sphere technology (an ingredient known for plumping and firming the skin), sunflower seed oil, and vitamins A and E to double your lip volume after just one application. You can use it as much as you want throughout the day to naturally keep your pout full and your lips hydrated (though reviewers say the results last for hours.)
The brand recommends using the plumper in conjunction with the GloPRO Lip Attachment for further benefits, like reducing the look of fine lines and feathering. To reach maximum plumpness, roll the attachment across the lips for 60 seconds ahead of applying The Pout.
Like most plumping treatments, you can expect to feel a slight tingling sensation from use; while this feeling is definitely noticeable, it’s less painful than other lip plumpers I’ve tried and only lasts for a few minutes. During the plumping process, dehydrated collagen filling spheres pull up moisture from lower layers of the skin, in turn boosting your lip size.
Make no mistake—this isn’t a plumping gloss. While it does add a high shine to the lips, it feels more like a nourishing balm texture. I honestly prefer this—I apply it a few minutes before lip liner and lipstick, so that my lips are looking naturally full. The effect it gives does last quite a while, but if I need a touch-up, I’ll quickly add a bit more overtop whatever other lip products I’m wearing.
The lip treatment has quickly become a staple in my work bag and my going-out purse. And I’m not the only one who was instantly hooked; plenty of shoppers had positive remarks.
“Within just a few applications, I noticed a remarkable difference in the fullness and definition of my lips,” wrote one person. “The serum’s lightweight formula feels incredibly nourishing and absorbs quickly, leaving behind a subtle tingling sensation that lets you know it’s working its magic. Say goodbye to thin lips and hello to a plumper, more luscious pout – this serum is a game-changer!”
“I CANNOT leave the house without this,” said another. “I misplaced it for like a week and actually noticed the difference. And one of my (long distance) best friends saw a picture I posted on vacation and thought I had work done.”
While The Pout is a bit steep at $39 per tube, I’d argue the results it brings are worth every dollar. Plus, since the effect lasts for hours, you won’t need to apply it as often as regular lip products.
