Glossier's Balm Dotcom has a polarizing reformulation: the original formula is praised as "so good" and hydrating, but the newer vegan version is widely panned. One creator says the new formula "sucks," separates into oil, and leaves lips feeling dry within 30 minutes. The cookie butter and hot cocoa flavors smell and taste delicious, but the moisturizing performance is criticized as worse than a cheap drugstore balm.
