Overview
["This is Ruby Kisses' Hydrating Clear Lip Oil Treatment Gloss, sold as a 2-pack for $6.20. It is an unflavored, clear oil in a glossy finish, made by KISS, and positioned as a lightweight, non-greasy alternative to a standard lip balm stick.", 'The formula leans on jojoba oil and almond oil for conditioning, with vitamin E, amino acids and antioxidants rounding out the ingredient list. The brand also markets it as something that may help soften the visible look of fine lines around the lips, though this should be read as a cosmetic gloss claim rather than a treatment result.', 'With a 4.6 rating from roughly 1,800 reviews, it has a solid track record, though on a smaller scale than some of the bigger drugstore balm brands in this lineup. Recent monthly purchase volume is modest, consistent with a steady niche pick rather than a runaway bestseller.']
Pros
- Non-greasy, glossy oil formula instead of a wax stick

- Includes amino acids and antioxidants
- Clear and unflavored, so it layers under any lip color
- Comes as a 2-pack for good value at $6.20

Performance notes
Jojoba oil closely mimics the skin's own sebum, which helps this gloss feel lightweight rather than heavy or sticky. Almond oil adds further emollience, while vitamin E and the listed antioxidants offer some protection against environmental exposure. The amino acids are included for general conditioning rather than as a treatment ingredient. As an oil rather than a wax stick, expect a wetter, glossier finish and a shorter wear time between reapplications.
What buyers say
A 4.6 rating from about 1,800 reviews reflects solid, consistent satisfaction, though the sample size is smaller than several other products in this lineup. Modest recent purchase volume points to steady, low key demand rather than a high turnover bestseller.

Frequently asked questions
Is this lip oil tinted or does it add color?
No, it is designed as a clear, unflavored gloss with no added tint, so it works well layered under lipstick or worn alone for shine.
Will this help with fine lines around my lips?
The brand markets it with amino acids and antioxidants that may help soften the visible look of fine lines, but this is a cosmetic gloss, not a medical treatment, so treat any smoothing effect as temporary and surface level.
How many lip oils come in the pack?
It ships as a 2-pack, giving you a backup tube on hand or one to keep in a bag and one at home.
