Revlon Illuminance Gloss Balm SPF50+ Reviews

The product

Have you met you perfect go-to glossy lip balm yet?

You know the one that lives in the bottom of every bag you own. And you'll tell just about anyone who'll listen how perfect it is. No? Well, do we have the formula for you.

Last seen being passed across the BEAUTYcrew team desks, the Revlon Illuminance Gloss Balm SPF50+ has got us and the REVIEWcrew members talking, and in the best way possible.

Let's start with the formula, because, of course. No one wants a heavy, greasy feeling glossy balm. And while this pick might be packed with hydrating ingredients (more on those in a moment), the formula remains lightweight and nourishing. Those ingredients we mentioned? Shea and murumuru seed butters. Known for their impeccably hydrating qualities, your pout will be flooded with moisture-packed gratitude.

Plus, the PDP (pretty damn perfect) formula also comes in eight glossy shades to take you from Pilates to work and even date night. On top of that, the inclusion of SPF50+ works to support your lips from any potential sun damage. Of course, that's only one step in your sun-safety routine.

*Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Wear protective clothing, a hat, and sunglasses in addition to sunscreen. Reapply frequently. Avoid prolonged high-risk sun exposure.

The panel

BEAUTYcrew sent the Revlon Illuminance Gloss Balm SPF50+ to a panel of women aged 25-35 looking for their go-to lip gloss.

The lowdown

The lightweight feel: When it comes to a day-to-day balm, no one wants a heavy, thick-feeling texture. Our REVIEWcrew assured us that this glossy balm delivers when it comes to a lightweight, comfortable-feeling formula.

The hydrating formula: Enriched with shea and murumuru seed butters, this balm means business. Gone will be the days of applying a balm and not feeling the benefits unless you apply 10 extra layers within the hour, and we couldn't be happier.

The chic shades: One of life's biggest tragedies? When you find your perfect go-to lip formula and there's not an extensive shade range. Okay, we're being dramatic. But with eight tinted tones, you'll be able to find your Goldilocks lip formula here.

I’ve really enjoyed using the Revlon Illuminance™ Gloss Balm with SPF50+. The texture is definitely the standout for me, it feels lightweight, smooth and non-sticky on the lips, which makes it really comfortable for everyday wear. It gives a nice subtle glossy finish while still feeling like a nourishing balm rather than a heavy gloss. Overall, a really nice hydrating gloss balm that feels great on the lips and adds an extra layer of sun protection.

I’m absolutely in love with this lip gloss! From the very first swipe, I could tell it was something special. The formula is incredibly smooth and glides on effortlessly, leaving my lips looking instantly fuller and more radiant. Unlike so many glosses I’ve tried before, this one is completely non-sticky and feels lightweight and comfortable all day long. I never feel like I have to constantly check or reapply because it wears so beautifully. The shine is stunning without being overpowering—just the perfect glossy finish that catches the light in the most flattering way. The color payoff is gorgeous and enhances my natural lip tone while still adding a noticeable pop. It layers beautifully over lipstick but also looks amazing on its own for a fresh, effortless look. What truly sets this gloss apart is how hydrating it feels. My lips stay soft, smooth, and moisturized for hours, even in dry weather. It almost feels like a nourishing lip treatment disguised as a gloss. The subtle scent is pleasant and not overwhelming, which makes the application experience even more enjoyable. Overall, this has quickly become my everyday essential, and I can’t imagine my makeup routine without it!

I absolutely love the Illuminance Gloss Balm SPF50+ from Revlon. The SPF protection is a huge bonus and gives me peace of mind for daily wear. It leaves a beautifully moisturised, glossy finish that looks healthy and natural. The formula feels light on the lips, never sticky, and is very comfortable. I got the clear gloss version, which looks amazing with a bit of lip liner. It’s genuinely hydrating and gives an effortless, natural look. I can see myself fitting this into my daily routine. Would buy again.
