Expensive? Yes — undeniably so. But according to Reddit, it may just be worth the sticker shock. User krissycole87 singles it out as "THE ONLY eye cream that ever made any actual difference" for her. She notes that it keeps her eye area "moisturized and soft" all day long (as opposed to other eye creams that offer shorter-acting hydration). Fellow fan pandabear151 feels similarly, calling it an "HG" product that helps her eye area look smooth, "even after makeup."

"The Laneige Lip Mask is 100% effective at healing my chapped lips and breaking a cycle of chapping/inflammation/peeling," says user Refresh-faced. "Honestly the best product I've ever used for my lips and makes all my other lip products work better." Fellow user yunith recommends using it as a sort of primer before applying lip color, explaining that it makes your "lipstick [look] more seamless."
