The Glibness potions sharpen your tongue rather than your sword. Each one raises Speechcraft for 60 seconds, from a bonus of 20 points with the basic Potion up to 50 with the Elixir. A temporary boost like that can make the difference when a conversation hinges on a persuasion check, and it is handy for characters who have put little into speech but still want the smooth-talking dialogue options.

Where to find them
Like most stock potions in Skyrim, these bottles turn up as loot in the world and in the inventories of characters, and vendors that deal in potions can have them for sale. The family is leveled, so the weaker versions dominate early on and the stronger Philters and Elixirs become more common as the Dragonborn gains levels.
Brewing your own
No ingredient in our database carries a Fortify Persuasion effect, so this family is not something you can brew with the Alchemy skill. If you want speech help from your own lab, the closest option is the Haggling potions, which improve prices rather than Speechcraft. That makes found and bought Glibness potions worth holding on to.
Tips
Glibness potions are also valuable trade goods: even the weakest tier is worth 96 gold, and the Elixir reaches 265, so spare bottles are a reliable source of income.
