Have you wondered if that viral TikTok trick to get fuller lips really works? The combination of hyaluronic acid and Vaseline has been circulating on social media, promising amazing results. But is it too good to be true? We have decided to put this trend to the test with the help of beauty experts. The verdict? Here we tell you everything.
The experiment: Beauty experts take the challenge
In our latest experiment, we recruited five beauty experts to try this controversial method on their own lips. The objective? Find out if the theory supported by some studies really translates into tangible results. From a cosmetologist to a technical director of renowned beauty brands, each shared their impressions after four weeks of constant use.
What do the experts say?
Raquel González, cosmetologist and technical director of Perricone MD, shared her experience, highlighting that although she noticed certain changes in the texture of her lips, she prefers to seal the serum with a balm other than Vaseline to avoid blockages in the tissue.
On the other hand, Estefanía Nieto, technical director of Medik8, mentioned an improvement in the juiciness of her lips, although she did not experience a significant increase in volume. However, he emphasized the importance of consistency in lip care.
Isabel Reverte, Ambari's technical director, noticed greater stability in her lips and a reduction in peeling. She preferred to use a regenerating balm instead of Vaseline to enhance the effects of hyaluronic acid.
Where is the trick?
Although experts noted an improvement in the hydration and overall appearance of their lips, some noted that the trick lies in the continued care and attention devoted to this delicate area. Sonia Ferreiro, cosmetologist and biotechnologist at Byoode, explained that the sensation of juicier lips is achieved thanks to the deep hydration provided by the hyaluronic acid serum.
Mireia Fernández, technical director at Omorovicza, added that while this two-step routine can offer visible results, alternative products rich in hyaluronic acid and emollients can achieve similar long-term effects.
Conclusion: Myth or reality?
The viral TikTok challenge may offer satisfactory results in terms of hydration and appearance of the lips, but it does not necessarily significantly increase their volume.
Consistency in lip care and choosing the right products are key to obtaining optimal results. While the combination of hyaluronic acid and Vaseline may be effective for some, it is not the only option available.
Explore products with moisturizing and emollient ingredients to keep your lips soft and healthy for the long term.
