If dry lips plague your life, chances are you're all too familiar with the struggle that comes with finding the best lip balm. Finding a balm that actually works can feel like Mission Impossible - except where's our hero to put a stop to all the chaps?

These nourishing formulas will get rid of dryness for good - but don't just take my word for it, here's what the Redditors had to say...

1) Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, £12.89
"Hopping on the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask train. It's pricey but it literally lasts forever, plus it absolutely saved my lips. I would have peeled, cracked lips all the time, no matter what I did. I tried drinking more water, I've spent so much money on balms and salves. This is the only one that really helped." Says Reddit user stop-rightmeow.

2) Glossier Birthday Balm DotCom, £10
"I recently bought the Glossier Balm Dot Com (birthday cake flavour) and it's a game changer. It's similar to the Jack Black ones, as it's very thick, but I find that this stays on my lips way longer and it's more durable if that makes sense? I rub my lips together a lot to kind of spread the product out evenly and it stays through that, and it even stays on through a night's sleep. If you ever order something off of Glossier then I definitely recommend it!" Says Redditor kimhelena123.

4) Malin+Goetz Lip Moisturiser, £11
"I have tried WAY too many lip balms/masks and the only one that has actually changed the conditions of my lips was the Malin+Goetz Lip Moisturizer. It actually hydrates your lips rather than creating a waxy/oily film to give the appearance of soft lips. It is clear and has a glossy finish so I wear it over lip tints all day. I couldn't recommend it enough." Says Reddit user pyolandam.

6) Aritaum Ginger Sugar Overnight Lip Mask, £6.74
"Aritaum Ginger Sugar Overnight Lip Mask works miracles!! It gently exfoliates through the night so when you wipe it off in the a.m. your lips are ready to get so much more out of a regular lip balm. One jar lasts me over a year with religious nightly use." Says Reddit user AbominableSnowbunny.

7) Smith's Rosebud Salve Original Lip Balm, £8.50
"I've repurchased Smith's rosebud salve probably around 5 times, in both tin and tube forms. I keep the tin on my bathroom counter and the tube in my purse. It is so good for keeping your lips soft and chap-free. I use it every night before bed and it works wonders." Says Redditor lumpychameleon.
The internet agrees, these are the balms that actually work.
