The effect of fuller lips without needles

COSRX Refresh AHA/BHA Vitamin C Lip Plumper is a multi-action balm: plumping, exfoliation and intensive care all in one product. The visual plumping effect is due to Vanillyl Butyl Ether — a natural analogue of capsaicin, which gently dilates blood vessels and causes a tingling sensation and a visible plumping effect. This is a common and expected reaction to this ingredient, not a sign of irritation. A base of Petrolatum and Hydrogenated Polyisobutene forms an occlusive film that locks in moisture and protects the delicate skin of the lips from drying out.

Betaine Salicylate (a BHA derivative) gently exfoliates dead skin cells from the surface of the lips, improving their smoothness. Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (a stable form of vitamin C) brightens and evens out skin tone. Shea butter (Butyrospermum Parkii) intensely moisturises and soothes, whilst coral extract (Corallina Officinalis) and moringa oil regenerate. Botanical extracts — peppermint, turmeric and neem — cool, warm and support the condition of the skin on the lips. The product contains no synthetic colourants or fragrance — a colourless balm.

Intended use:

A lip balm designed for those seeking a visual plumping effect without procedures. Intensely moisturises dry, chapped lips and exfoliates dead skin cells. Colourless — can be used on its own or under lipstick. A tingling sensation after application is an expected and typical effect of this formula. Perform a patch test before first use.

Directions for use:

Apply an appropriate amount of balm to the lips. The tingling sensation is a normal effect of Vanillyl Butyl Ether — it subsides after a few minutes. Use as needed or regularly as a moisturising treatment.
