Like most people in the winter, my skin enters into an endless cycle of dryness, from cracked hands to a flaking nose—and those concerns appear just the same on my lips. While I slather them in hydrating balms nightly, I know the most effective way to shed the dead skin is to exfoliate beforehand. That’s why, like several thousand shoppers, I’m picking up a tube of the Revlon Lip Scrub Balm
.
The $5 exfoliating lip scrub—currently on sale for 26 percent off
at Amazon—is a 2-in-1 product that softens and hydrates the lips in seconds, eliminating the need for two separate formulas. Real sugar crystals polish away dry areas on your lips, before melting into a silky, smooth balm that’s infused with natural fruit oils that offer up to 24 hours of nourishment. It’s also the perfect prep step before applying lipstick since it creates a better canvas for color to glide over top.

With over 7,000 five-star ratings from Amazon customers
, the Revlon best-seller might be the best item you’ll add to your winter skincare regimen yet. Reviewers have compared the affordable formula to much pricer lip exfoliators out there and praise the fact it “effectively gets the job done” without leaving “any crunchy gunk behind.” Others call it a “cure” for incessant dry, cracked winter lips and claim it’s “the only thing that worked” to remedy them.
“I’ve had chapped lips all winter long and I have tried it ALL to get them back to normal. This is the only thing that worked. Exfoliates your lips and the sugar crystals dissolve quickly so there’s no weird residue after you apply it. Highly recommend,” said one reviewer.
“I’ve been a lip picker for over 20 years, because they were always trying to heal, my lips had lines and looked old,” shared another. “This product has smoothed them out completely, my lips almost look photoshopped now! Because it scrubs, there aren’t as many dry bits for me to pick at, so I’m breaking the habit too!”
The Revlon Lip Scrub is available at Amazon
, Target (additional shades are offered at this retailer) and Walmart for around $5.
