What it is

A cosmetic retinol lip serum designed to smooth the look of lip lines while delivering moisturizing emollients and humectants for a cushioned, comfortable feel.

Who it's for

• Lips showing fine lines or loss of cushion.
• Users comfortable with gentle retinol use on the lip area.
• Those who prefer a non-waxy serum layer under or before balm.

Key ingredients (INCI)

• Retinol — cosmetic vitamin A derivative to smooth the look of fine lines.
• Peptides — help lips appear firm and smooth.
• Humectants (e.g., hyaluronic acid/glycerin) — attract and hold moisture.
• Emollient oils/butters — cushion and soften the lip surface.
• Soothing agents (e.g., panthenol) — comfort and calm dryness.

Free-from / texture

• Serum-oil hybrid; dewy finish without heavy wax.
• Unscented or low scent; review INCI for sensitivities.
• Non-tinted; leaves a soft sheen when applied.

How to use & order

• Night use preferred. Apply to clean, dry lips.
• Use a thin layer; allow to absorb, then top with balm if needed.
• Start 2–3 nights weekly; increase as tolerated. Use sunscreen on lips during the day.

Conflicts & layering tips

• Avoid combining with strong lip exfoliants or other retinoids the same night.
• Keep surrounding skin moisturized to reduce potential retinol dryness.
• Patch test on a small area and reduce frequency if flaking or irritation occurs.

Evidence & notes

• Retinol and peptides are cosmetic; smoothing effects are cosmetic in nature.
• Humectants and emollients help reduce the feel of dryness and improve lip comfort.
• Consistent sunscreen use on lips is recommended when using nighttime retinoids.

Safety

• For external use only; discontinue if irritation occurs.
• Do not apply on cracked or bleeding lips until healed.
• Pregnancy/breastfeeding: consult your physician before using vitamin A derivatives.
