Beauty Bible Loves... Paula's Choice Pro-Collagen Peptide Gloss Balm

This is such a clever hybrid product. We happen to own a small mountain of tinted lip balms and lip treatments, but we are finding Paula's Choice Pro-Collagen Peptide Gloss Balm deeply pleasing because it does two jobs in one.

Clinically proven to visibly reduce lines and plump your pout, via a tri-peptide complex, it’s been seen to be effective when used regularly over four weeks. With a balm-like texture, it’s instantly comforting (our summer lips feel only marginally less dry than winter lips, right now!), which makes frequent application a real pleasure.

But unlike most lip treatments, which are invisible on the lips, this is lightly peachy-pink tinted, so it looks good while it’s doing good. Glossy but not too glossy, sheer and absolutely flattering. You could wear it to bed without scaring your partner (if you have one) – or wear it out, either to ramp up the shine of a favourite lipstick, or on its own.

Quite remarkably, Paula’s Choice offers a 60-day money-back guarantee on this product, so if it doesn’t work for you, you can simply send it back. And if that isn’t a sign of confidence in its performance, we’d like to know what is.
