Softwear Exfoliating and Hydrating Daily Lip Treatment with Squalane + AHA — Reddit Reviews
by Experiment
Updated September 24, 2026
Lightly exfoliating lip treatment for dry, chapped lips; thick and non-greasy.
What the community says
A thick lip treatment with a light exfoliant and strong hydration, best for dry or chapped lips that need overnight help. It stays low-shine and scent-free, but the fix seems mostly cosmetic and short-lived, and the tiny tube feels overpriced.
