Lip balm is an extremely popular type of cosmetic that almost every woman owns. Choosing the right lip balm will give you soft, rosy, and vibrant lips. Below, we will review 10 types of lip balms that are currently very popular.
1 Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask
Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask
Brand: Laneige
Origin: South Korea
Price: Approximately 450,000 VND/20g jar.
Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask is one of the most popular lip balm lines at the moment. The main feature of this product is its eye-catching pink-orange color and sweet candy-like fragrance, which is very popular among young people.
The Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask contains many natural extracts such as berry mix complex, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid, and even includes shea butter. However, at the same time, the product also contains many fragrances, colorants, and alcohol, so it may not be suitable for those with sensitive lips that are prone to irritation.
Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask has a sticky, soft texture
This product has a sticky, soft texture, and when applied to the lips, it creates a shiny and sticky layer, giving the lips a soft, smooth, and rosy appearance. After one night of use, the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask will help soften and easily remove dead skin from your lips, making them softer and smoother.
The biggest advantage of the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask is its highly effective exfoliating ability. In addition, the product also has a pleasant fragrance, a natural pink-orange color, and contains many natural extracts that are good for the lips. When you purchase the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, you will also receive a small spatula as a gift, which is very convenient.

The disadvantage of this “famous” lip mask is that it contains fragrances, colorants, and alcohol, which can cause irritation if the lips are too sensitive, and it is not very effective in moisturizing and making the lips rosy. Moreover, because the product has the effect of promoting rapid skin peeling, it can make the lips weak. You should only use it 2-3 times a week instead of every day.

2 Vaseline Lip Therapy
Vaseline Lip Therapy
Brand: Vaseline
Origin: Netherlands and UK
Price: Approximately 70,000 VND/7g jar
Vaseline is one of the “big players” in the lip balm market in Vietnam. The most prominent feature of this lip moisturizer is its extreme versatility. In addition to being used as a lip balm, Vaseline Lip Therapy can also be used to nourish eyelashes and eyebrows, soothe and moisturize other areas of the skin such as elbows and heels, etc.
The main ingredient of Vaseline Lip Therapy is petrolatum. This is a type of active ingredient that forms a waterproof barrier around the area it is applied to, helping to prevent water loss through the skin and thus maintaining moisture.
Vaseline Lip Therapy contains mineral oil to lock in moisture
Vaseline Lip Therapy has a very thick and sticky texture. When applied, you will feel that your lips are smooth but quite heavy. Also, because of its thick and heavy texture, you should not use Vaseline as a lip primer, as it will be difficult for the lip color to “stick” to your lips. Instead, you can use this product to moisturize and smooth your lips when they are dry or as an overnight lip mask, both of which work very well.
The advantages of Vaseline Lip Therapy include its excellent moisturizing ability, affordable price, and versatility, especially the pink jar, which has a very sweet and pleasant fragrance.

One thing I really like about this product is that when you use Vaseline as an overnight lip mask, dead skin will soften and peel off gently without promoting excessive skin peeling or weakening the lips.
The disadvantage of Vaseline Lip Therapy is that it focuses more on moisture retention rather than actual moisturizing. Therefore, it is only suitable for mild cases of dry lips, and if your lips are extremely dry and chapped, it may not be “strong enough”.
In addition, the product is also not suitable as a lip primer, does not have a lip-plumping effect, and does not come with an applicator like the Laneige product, which is quite inconvenient.
3 DHC Lip Cream
DHC Lip Cream
Brand: DHC
Origin: Japan
Price: Approximately 199,000 VND/1.5g stick
DHC Lip Cream is a line of lip balms that is very popular among beauty bloggers. The lip balm has a bright pink-orange casing, and the balm itself is quite soft, with a natural pale yellow color and no fragrance.

The main ingredient of this “holy grail” lip balm is beeswax, a type of wax derived from sheep that has excellent moisturizing and softening properties. In addition, DHC Lip Cream also contains olive oil and many natural ingredients such as aloe vera, ginger, and rosemary.
DHC Lip Cream has a very soft and smooth texture. When used, you will feel that your lips are soft and slightly shiny, especially when applied generously, the balm does not feel heavy or sticky on the lips. It has excellent moisturizing properties and a soft texture, so you can use it as a lip primer or an overnight lip mask.
DHC Lip Cream has a gentle formula that does not contain fragrances, colorants, or parabens
The advantages of DHC Lip Cream include its deep moisturizing effect, suitability for both day and night use, gentle formula that does not contain fragrances, colorants, or parabens, and long-term use can help brighten and plump the lips.
The disadvantage of DHC Lip Cream is that its lip-plumping effect is not very noticeable. Moreover, because the balm is very soft, it is used up relatively quickly, and at a price of 199,000 VND per stick, it can be quite expensive for those with a tight budget.
4 Cocoon Ben Tre Coconut Lip Balm
Cocoon Ben Tre Coconut Lip Balm
Brand: Cocoon
Origin: Vietnam
Price: Approximately 32,000 VND/5g stick
As a product of the Cocoon brand, Cocoon Ben Tre Coconut Lip Balm shares a common feature with other products of the brand, which is its extremely gentle formula. The main ingredients of this lip balm include coconut oil, beeswax, vitamin E, and aloe vera. It has a white color, a smooth texture, and a light, natural coconut fragrance.
Cocoon Ben Tre Coconut Lip Balm is mainly made from coconut oil extracts
Cocoon Ben Tre Coconut Lip Balm has a waxy texture, a hard consistency, and when applied, it gives the lips a slight shine and a feeling of thickness and heaviness. Its moisturizing effect is just moderate, so it is suitable for those with mildly dry lips who do not like overly shiny lip balms.
The advantages of Cocoon Ben Tre Coconut Lip Balm include its affordable price, extremely gentle formula that does not irritate the lips, moderate shine that does not make the lips look greasy, and ease of application. However, the product’s disadvantage is that its moisturizing effect is not strong, its texture is thick and hard, and it feels sticky, so when used as a lip primer, it is difficult for the lip color to adhere to the lips.
5 Carmex Lip Balm
Carmex Lip Balm
Brand: Carmex
Origin: USA
Price: Approximately 30,000 – 40,000 VND/tube or stick
Carmex is a well-known American beauty brand, and Carmex Lip Balm is one of its best-selling products. Currently, Carmex Lip Balm is available in three packaging types: jar, tube, and stick, all of which have eye-catching yellow and red packaging. The jar version is relatively less common compared to the other two types.

The main ingredients of Carmex Lip Balm include lanolin, cocoa butter, mineral oil, and beeswax. In addition, the product also contains peppermint extract, camphor, phenol, and fragrance, so those with sensitive lips should consider this before use!
Carmex Lip Balm has a thick texture, a soft and smooth consistency, a pale yellow color, and when applied to the lips, it gives a cool and refreshing feeling. The stick version has a slightly harder tip and a thicker texture than the tube version. In terms of effectiveness, Carmex Lip Balm has an excellent moisturizing effect and can be used as an overnight lip mask to soften and remove dead skin cells from the lips.

The advantages of Carmex Lip Balm include its highly effective moisturizing ability, gentle removal of dead skin cells without irritating or weakening the lips, and an SPF of 15 to protect the lips from the sun’s harmful UV rays.
The disadvantage of Carmex Lip Balm is that its texture is thick and hard, making it unsuitable as a lip primer, and it contains many active ingredients that can cause irritation. Its fragrance is quite strong and pungent, and the peppermint extract gives a cool and slightly numb feeling to the lips during winter use. The stick version has a loose twist
