Created by Diipa Khosla, a beauty influencer I’ve followed for years, the new product, her content, and the brand are all over my feed—safe to say, my expectations were high. As someone who’s constantly on the hunt for a solid lip treatment (because my lips insist on being dry no matter how much I baby them), I had to get my hands on the Inde Wild Dewy Lip Treatment in Caffeine Addict.
The Buzz Around Inde Wild’s Dewy Lip Treatment
If you’re even remotely into beauty, you’ve probably seen this lip treatment everywhere. It’s the latest drop from Inde Wild, a brand that merges Ayurvedic wisdom with modern skincare science. What sets it apart is the infusion of caffeine—yes, for your lips!—along with peptides and a blend of nourishing oils. It promises hydration, repair, and a natural sheen without the sticky, waxy feel of traditional balms.
I love that Inde Wild isn’t just another celebrity-backed beauty brand—Diipa Khosla has made sure there’s a purpose behind every product. With the amount of thought that has gone into this formulation, I was excited to see if it lived up to the hype.
First Impressions: Packaging & Application
Let’s start with the obvious—the packaging is sleek, minimalist, and just the right kind of luxe. It comes in a slim tube that feels premium without being over-the-top. The applicator is a classic squeeze-tip, making it easy to apply directly onto the lips. No dipping fingers into a pot (which I personally can’t stand).
The Shade: “Caffeine Addict” in Action
Okay, this was the real test. Would this be a deep, moody brown? A sheer tint? A full-on lipstick in disguise?
Turns out, it’s the perfect everyday brown tint. It gives just enough color to make my lips look polished but still natural. Think your lips, but richer, smoother, and more put together. If you’re into that effortless, no-makeup-makeup look, this shade is gonna be your new best friend.
Also, let’s be real—brown-toned lips are having a moment, and I’m here for it.
The formula itself has a smooth, gel-balm texture—not too thick, not too runny—and glides onto the lips effortlessly. The first thing I noticed? That faint, comforting scent of coffee. It’s subtle and not overpowering, which is a win for me because I’m not into overly fragranced lip products.
The Formula: Ingredients That Make a Difference
A product is only as good as its ingredients, and this one doesn’t disappoint. The Dewy Lip Treatment is packed with:
Caffeine – Helps with circulation and plumps up the lips naturally.
Peptides – Work on repairing and smoothing out fine lines over time.
Pomegranate, Rose & Lotus Extracts – Hydrate and nourish.
Squalane – One of my favorite skincare ingredients, providing deep moisture without feeling greasy.
I’ve tried a ton of lip balms that claim to be “hydrating,” but a lot of them just sit on the surface of the lips without actually doing anything. This one sinks in beautifully, leaving my lips feeling soft and comfortable instead of coated in a film.
How It Feels & Wears Throughout the Day
I’m someone who constantly reaches for a lip balm throughout the day, so I wanted to see how long this one actually lasted. The hydration lasted a solid 3-4 hours before I felt the need to reapply, which is impressive considering most balms wear off within an hour or two. It gives a subtle, dewy sheen that makes my lips look healthier, but it’s not glossy or sticky.
I also tested it under lipstick, and it works like a dream. Some lip treatments cause lipstick to slide around or break down weirdly, but this one acts as a perfect base, smoothing out any dry patches without interfering with pigment.
Final Verdit - Worth the Hype?
Here’s the real test—did it actually help my perpetually dry lips? Yes.
I’ve been using this consistently for a couple of weeks now, and my lips feel noticeably softer and less prone to flaking. It’s not an instant miracle fix, but with regular use, it genuinely improves lip texture. The best part? I don’t feel the need to constantly reapply like I do with some other balms. It keeps my lips hydrated for longer stretches, which is a huge plus.
Would I repurchase? Absolutely. While it’s on the pricier side for a lip treatment, the formula, wear time, and actual results make it worth the investment.
If you struggle with dry, chapped lips and want something that does more than just coat the surface, this is for you. It hydrates, smooths, and gives that effortless “my lips but better” effect. Plus, if you’re a coffee lover, the subtle scent is just an added bonus. If you prefer a super glossy, tinted balm, this might not be your vibe. It leans more toward a hydrating treatment with a soft, natural sheen, making it perfect for everyday wear or as a prep step before lipstick.
Inde Wild’s Dewy Lip Treatment in Caffeine Addict has officially earned a permanent spot in my beauty routine. It’s hydrating without being heavy, nourishing without being greasy, and gives my lips that healthy, plumped-up look without any effort.
For someone who has tested a ridiculous amount of lip balms, this one stands out. If you’ve been eyeing it but weren’t sure if it’s worth the hype—trust me, it is.
Love,
Rae
