Every Morning Started With Cracked Lips And A Dry Mouth
For about two years I woke up the same way: lips tight and split at the corners, mouth bone dry, and my partner telling me I had been snoring again.
I am a mouth breather at night. I did not really know that until someone pointed it out, and once I did know, it explained a lot.
Breathing through your mouth all night does not just wreck your sleep, it pulls moisture straight out of your lips and the delicate skin around them. That is the tight, uncomfortable morning feeling I had been treating with lip balm for years, always at the wrong end of the problem.
What Ugly Sleep Club Actually Is
I did not expect much. I had already tried plain mouth tape, which is basically glue on plastic, and it did one job: it kept my mouth shut and left my lips just as dry.
Ugly Sleep Club’s Collagen Mouth Tape is different in one specific way. It is the first mouth tape I have found that is infused with derm grade skincare, so you get better sleep and better skin from the same strip.
Inside it there is a blend of skincare ingredients rather than industrial adhesive:
- Vegan collagen, which supports the skin around your mouth and locks in moisture overnight
- Aloe vera, naturally hydrating, calming and conditioning the skin all night
- Vitamins B5, B7 and E, which hydrate, condition and nourish the skin around your lips
The adhesive itself was formulated by an analytical chemist. No PFAS, no mystery glue, no sticky residue left on my face in the morning.
How It Works While You Sleep
The routine is almost insultingly simple. You place the strip over your mouth and you fall asleep like normal. That is it.
With your lips comfortably sealed, your body switches to nasal breathing, which improves oxygen intake, reduces snoring and promotes deeper, more restorative sleep. Rather than masking the noise with a gadget, it works on the root cause.
There is a second thing happening at the same time. The collagen, aloe and vitamins sit on the exact skin that needs them and keep releasing for a full eight hours. So the hours you used to spend drying your lips out are now the hours doing the repair work.
The third benefit surprised me most. Mouth breathing dries out the saliva that naturally protects your teeth, which speeds up plaque buildup. Keeping my lips sealed let my mouth defend itself the way it is supposed to, and that dreaded morning breath simply stopped showing up.
Comfort was my big worry. Cheap tape pinches, tugs and peels off at 3am. This one is a soft, silky material that conforms to your lips using your own body heat, so it forms a secure hold and stays put. By night three I genuinely forgot I was wearing it.
Who It Is For, And Who Should Skip It
If you sleep with your mouth open, snore, or wake up with dry cracked lips, this is aimed squarely at you. The people using it range from busy professionals to new moms to skincare lovers.
If you are congested or you have trouble breathing through your nose, skip it until that clears. Nasal breathing needs to feel easy and natural for this to make any sense.
It is also worth saying plainly: this is a sleep and skincare product, not a replacement for a conversation with your doctor or dentist about your breathing.
What Other Buyers Said
I read a lot of reviews before ordering. The tape holds a 4.8 out of 5 rating with a following of more than 20,000 women, and the same handful of benefits come up again and again: quieter nights, deeper sleep, softer lips, hydrated skin, fresher mornings.
Jessica M Molchan wrote: “I have extremely sensitive skin, so I’m always very careful about what I put on my face, especially something that will be stuck to it all night! I was very happy to see that this mouth tape didn’t leave any sticky residue, was extremely comfortable all night, and really improved my sleep!”
Camryn Kloberdanz said: “This is truly the best mouth tape ever. I have tried a lot of brands to deal with my mouth breathing at night and every kind I would wake up with a dry mouth and the tape would hurt my skin. This tape is gentle but also works super well and I sleep well!”
And Jill Y Mullins, which was the review that finally sold me: “I have looked for years for something to help me sleep with my mouth closed. I’m really impressed that they stay on with my night moisturizer.”
On the testing side, every batch is third party lab tested for PFAS, acrylamide and residual solvents, and the adhesive is hypoallergenic and latex free. That was the part that made me comfortable wearing it every single night.
Price, Guarantee And Where I Bought Mine
There is no fixed price I can quote you, because the brand runs promotions and they change. Check the official site for the current price before you order.

It is sold directly by Ugly Sleep Club, and it comes with a complete 30 day money back guarantee. If you do not get results, you return it for a full refund, which is the only reason I was willing to test something that sticks to my face for eight hours.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to wear all night? It is designed for overnight use with a breathable, skin safe adhesive. Just do not wear it when you are congested or struggling to breathe through your nose.
Will it irritate my skin or hurt coming off? The adhesive is skincare grade, hypoallergenic, latex free and PFAS free, and it is infused with soothing aloe, so it peels off gently in the morning. Everyone’s skin is different, so the brand recommends a quick patch test if you are sensitive to adhesives.
What is actually in it? Vegan collagen, aloe vera, panthenol (vitamin B5), biotin (vitamin B7) and vitamin E, formulated by an analytical chemist. Every batch is third party lab tested for PFAS, acrylamide and residual solvents.
Will it help with snoring? Mouth taping is clinically shown to reduce snoring in mouth breathers by switching your body to nasal breathing. Many people notice quieter nights right away, and so do their partners.
How many strips come in a pack? One pack is a full 30 day supply, one strip per night.
My Verdict
I came in sceptical and I am keeping it. The quieter nights were the fast win, and the softer lips and skin around my mouth were the slow one.
The honest limitation: this is not an overnight transformation. The skin side took a few nights before I noticed my mornings had stopped starting with a lip balm emergency, and if your nose is blocked, the tape is not for you that night. It is a nightly habit, not a one off fix.
But as habits go, it is about four seconds of effort, and it quietly replaced a whole step of my evening routine. Better sleep and better skin from one strip is not something I expected to be writing.
