Reviews

The one and only

"The first lippie I ever purchased from Marin and my undisputed fav, the blueberry french toast, for all the reasons: the absolutely unique blueberry maple blend, the surprising shine on the lips but most of all its serious hydration game. This lippie was all I needed for my honeymoon road trip in Iceland, where it kept my lips super smooth and glossy in all temps and situations. It just smells like fall, having a cozy brunch before going to look at the leaves changing, and is a treat on the lips."

— Alyssa (5/5)

Forever repurchase!

"I love love love the Marin lippies! They have saved my lips from constantly cracking and peeling due to hEDS and the flavors are so lovely. I've tried the Blueberry French Toast, Campfire S'mores, and Strawberry Rhubarb so far and I'm really looking forward to trying the mint and cranberry (but SR is my absolute favorite, it smells so good!!)"

— Katie (5/5)

Cider donut 😕

"Hi Guys I have been a fan since day one and have every flavor but this one, it just misses the mark for me, to the point I can’t use it it’s just not good, Idon’t get cider don’t get salt don’t get donut…I bought 2 one as a gift and I don’t think I can gift it. I’m super disappointed knowing you worked on this for 2 years I’m so sorry guys I love the product soooo much but this flavor just no for me sorry again 🫤"

— Kristi D. (2/5)

The best lip treatment EVER!

"I have tried SO many lip treatments and Marin is by far the best. The smell, the feel, the whole thing. Marin’s scents are so incredibly realistic which is a huge plus. Needless to say i’m hooked and I have almost all of them! Cider Donut is by far my new fav! It smells like going to the apple orchard in Maine and eating a delicious cider donut :) 11/10 recommend"

— Bradine W. (5/5)

LOVE this scent but name misleading

"I absolutely LOVE Marin and all of their products! I was very excited for this scent to come out, and I love it so much, BUT it smells more like maple syrup (not a bad thing, but misleading) rather than a cider donut that was advertised with lots of apple emojis. Like I said not a bad thing because it still smells delicious, but don’t expect an appley scent if that’s what you’re looking for! Four stars only because of name misleading, but 5 stars for product itself Still, <3 Marin"

— Avery G. (4/5)

Not the cherry

"I bought the tinted version and non tinted (but scented cinnamon) . I am so dissatisfied that the tinted version tastes and smells horrible. It reminded me of cheap drug store lip products I used to wear when I was younger. It’s kind of soapy. I do keep it in my bag and have been giving it multiple tries but every time I think it tastes awful. The cinammmon scented one is lovely and I enjoy it."

— YM (1/5)

Authentic scent and super moisturizing without the stickiness!

"I love Marin lip treatments! This is my third time repurchasing and I don’t think I will ever switch to a different brand. Well worth the cost and I love that they are based out of Maine! I am looking forward to the new seasonal cider donut flavor that just came out!"

— Julie P. (5/5)

"Amazing customer service! Even when my order didn’t get here due to an address hiccup they immediately sent me a new order. Speedy response! If I could give higher than 5/5 for this company I would. Not to mention the quality of their products. Love supporting local businesses and this is definitely one I will continue to support."

— Arika (5/5)

"I’ve been using the Marin lip treatments for almost two years now and I love them so much! They are so much more nourishing than most other lip products I’ve tried. Strawberry Rhubarb is a favorite of mine but I’ve liked every scent/flavor I’ve gotten so far."

— Krista (5/5)

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Safety and non-irritation is really important to us!


    We had Dermatologists clinically test this to make sure it's a non-irritating
    formula. They performed what's called a repeat insult patch test study (RIPT study), where 50 participants apply the product for a period of 6 weeks, tested
    each week for signs irritation. Our participants experienced no irritation throughout the entire study!

    Moreover, we formulated this product to be irritant-free, fragrance-free, paraben-free, and comply with the National
    Eczema Association's list of unapproved ingredients!

  • We discovered a new ingredient: Marine Glycoproteins!

    As Bioengineers, we worked with lobster scientists to discover a glycoprotein that allows lobsters to regenerate limbs - in the same way they do this, they help repair the skin barrier!

    A natural, upcycled byproduct of lobster processing, this superpowered regenerative protein helps:

    • Hydrate dry skin

    • Soothe upset skin

    • Repair, soften and renew damaged, weathered and aged skin.

  • Use in the morning, evening, and as-needed throughout the day.

    Suitable for use on your face, hands, and body.

    To apply, rub a dime-sized amount into your skin in the morning, throughout the day as-needed to spot-treat, and at night after exfoliating or simply before bed. For extra-irritated skin patches, use the Soothing Hydration Cream to keep it moist as possible throughout the day.

    When applying to areas of your face, as a relatively thick, rich cream, we recommend starting with a pea-sized drop and increasing the amount applied if necessary.

  • Yes! Tested by Dermatologists at a 3rd party lab to make
    sure our data is accurate and non-biased!

  • Our products are made
    with marine glycoproteins, which are found in lobster. They are sustainably and ethically sourced as natural byproducts of lobster processing, however, they are not vegan!

  • Unfortunately, we are currently unable to ship outside of the US. This will change soon!

    However, we are able to provide advice on how to make arrangements to ship a Marin tube internationally. If you are looking for international shipping, please email us directly at support@marinskincare.com and we will try our best to help!

  • We process and ship all orders within 3-5 business days in general, and shipping time may depend on the method selected during checkout!

    *For National Lobster Week 2023 (9/25-9/28), due to a high volume of site traffic, we anticipate orders will begin shipping out Friday, 9/28!*

    We will send tracking info as well as notifications as your order is being processed and shipped, so you should check your emails for the latest status updates!

  • We offer returns if the product has not been opened (seal on the cap of the tube has not been opened)!

    Although under normal circumstances we cannot accept returns on products that have been opened, if you are unsatisfied with your order please reach out to us and we will consider returns on a case-by-case basis!

    You can email us directly
    at support@marinskincare.com or use the contact form found on our site!

  • We actually have a BUNCH of people using the cream to help soothe skin prone to
    eczema or psoriasis! This is actually why we founded Marin and created the
    product - after the glycoproteins helped *finally* soothe our own eczema, we
    felt compelled to bring this new, natural solution to others like us!

    Overall, glycoproteins do a great job hydrating and repairing dry, damaged skin, while also smoothing and softening rough skin out - a combination of concerns that is
    common among many people with psoriasis, dermatitis and eczema.

    We think reviews for concerns like psoriasis speak for themselves - you can actually search reviews at the bottom of our Soothing Hydration Cream page, here!

  • We actually have a lot of parents and grandparents using the cream for their little ones!

    We've noticed that a lot of people prefer a more natural alternative to steroid creams, which can sometimes cause more damage than good. To be extra sure that Marin is gentle
    enough for their skin, we recommend applying a little dime-sized amount of
    product on before use, observing for any irritation, and continuing use once
    you've made sure their skin likes Marin!
