Tower 28 ShineOn Lip Gloss Jelly, Sesame (0.13 oz)

I have lived with exfoliative cheilitis for 47 years. My lips peel off in actual sheets of skin. Any lip product—gloss, balm, lipstick, liner—triggers severe peeling, cracking, and bleeding that can last for days or weeks. I have seen multiple doctors, used prescription creams and steroids, tried elimination diets (including long-term carnivore), and spent thousands of dollars testing every over-the-counter lip product I could find. My last dermatologist basically told me it was genetic and I’d just have to live with it. For the past five years the only thing that kept my lips somewhat calm was O’Keeffe’s lip balm. Even then, random flare-ups still happened and I just had to wait them out. Lipstick and liners were completely off-limits. Then I discovered Tower 28 while looking for a replacement for my old Almay color-changing makeup. Their tinted sunscreen felt and looked incredible on my skin, so I thought, “Why not try the lip products? I’ve tried everything else.” I ordered during a full flare-up when my lips were in really bad shape. I wasn’t expecting much. The next morning my lips were already starting to heal. By the following day they were completely healed. After about five days of consistent use, aside from a little gentle scrubbing with a washcloth in the morning, I feel like I’m experiencing normal lip skin for the first time in my life. No peeling sheets. No cracking. No bleeding. Just soft, moisturized and calm lips. I got the XOXO shade and Magic (see photo). I was a little worried about XOXO being too bright since I’m not used to wearing any color but it’s perfect! And considering how much I’ve paid for other products, the price seems reasonable but if you don’t have issues like mine, it may be a little steep. I am still in disbelief. Two other family members have the same condition, so I’m buying Tower 28 lip products for everyone for Christmas and I will tell everyone about this product line! Thank you, Tower 28. This isn’t just makeup—it’s the greatest skincare line I’ve ever found for extremely reactive lips. If you or someone you love deals with exfoliative cheilitis, chronic peeling, or lips that react to absolutely everything, please give these a try. It has been life-changing for me! Maybe I’ll try the liners next!

You have to try this gloss! It's super hypoallergenic and feels amazing on the lips! Not sticky at all, satisfying and perfectly shiny! Hydrates like a lip balm but wears & looks like a beautiful gloss! I am really picky about what I put on my face and I give this gloss 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'s! The packaging is great too and I love how the wand applicator looks like inside the tube! The gloss smells great too! I'm really happy with this purchase and the quality! I'm even going to buy one for my manager! She loves lip gloss and this will be a nice little treat for her to enjoy! I wouldn't recommend it unless I absolutely LOVE IT! :) Treat yourself! 👌🏻🫶🏻🩷

This is the absolute most amazing lip gloss I’ve ever used. Smells lovely and lips don’t stick together when you talk. The color is beautiful!! I’m buying more shades! Lasts long even after eating. Doesnt smudge

This is a quality product, as I've come to expect from this brand. I lip gloss goes on smoothly and is very hydrating. I think the Pistachio color is a great neutral, kind of one of those colors that goes well with any skin tone. The tube is a good size for the money also. I definitely recommend trying it.

I think the color (I got Cashew) is flattering and just the right amount of pigment! It's not sticky and feels comfortable sitting on my lips. I can reapply layers without it getting visibly gunky or stringy. I wouldn't consider it especially moisturizing or worth the money. It doesn't really have any taste or smell nice, which I feel is pretty important in a lip product. If you're sensitive to scents though, this could be a good match for you. The packaging is cute and sturdy, and I haven't experienced it leaking or cracking, which is a win. It reminds me so much of NYX's butter gloss, down to the same barely-there taste. If you don't care about packaging, save your money and just get that!

This lip gloss goes on so soft, not sticky at all. I like the Pistachio shade, but it's very neutral. I just ordered a brighter color to add to my collection.

it was everything i wanted i loved it

sooo cute! i love the feeling of it on my lips, not oily, not sticky and it makes my lips so soft, i feel that other lipglosses makes my lips peel but this dose not! beautiful colors, i have oat and its a peachy muted pink

My favorite, vegan and safe. Ordered and i am reordering

Such a nice change to gloss or lipstick, non sticky and gorgeous color, just ordered XOXO - great new addition to my make up bag.

I received an expired one, the shade is beautiful (cashew), looked lighter than in the pictures. But it’s definitely expired, it smells off, like some old crayons or oil that gone bad, and it gives an unpleasant feeling on my lips. Clean beauty gets expired quickly and unlike Korean brands, here the expiration date is not indicated.

I received a used item.
