1000/10 addition to lip care routine
This a gentle chemical exfoliant for chapped flaky lips that are dry as a dessert! Trust me I hv used all sorts of harsh exfoliaters on my dry lips that led to more dryness. But this , omg is a holy grail. I use it 2-3times a week overnight and literally removes all dead skin leaving my lips soft and smooth. I developed an allergic reaction to some lipstick and got these thick alligator like skin and tried hydrating lip balm etc to get rid of it , nothing helped. And then found this amazing product. One application and next morning, my skin was back. Now it’s in my bedtime routine. Don’t forget to add a lipbalm over it or it might not lock in the moisture. I use laneige.

Meh
Didn't do much for me. Even after it dried and applied a lip balm over it, it felt heavy and the texture was not great.

Effective
works well. i live in florida and i have to be mindful to put spf on my lips or they get cooked in sun. they never get too bad bc i take good care of them and was already exfoliating with glycolic acid, but lately they were starting to peel a bit so i upgraded to this. i applied the first evening and they were instantly smooth the next morning. not sure why there are some bad reviews, especially saying the formula is "runny." it has a slightly viscous, serum-like texture. a little goes a long way, just a small drop is all that's needed. the bottle will last a long time so you can't beat the price! gotta love the ordinary (:

My FAVORITE new beauty find!
I was pleasantly surprised by just how well this works! I used as directed and saw results instantly within the same week. My lips are smooth, plump, & have a beautiful healthy pink color. I will never use a lip scrub again, with this product there's no unnecessary friction, just put it on your lips and go to bed. It doesn't have a horrible chemical taste if it accidentally gets into your mouth either, its sweet. & At this price point it can not be beat. Safe to say this was promptly added to my beauty regimen!

I was excited to try a non-abrasive lip exfoliator. This works nicely to smooth out my lips, no smell, no taste, but I'm not a fan of the texture. The serum consistency never fully dries so it just sits on your lips and feels a little odd.

I have struggled with dry and peeling lips for as long as I can remember, I have used this 3 nights and my lips are nearly healed. I’m obsessed and if you have struggled with peeling lips, you NEED this product!

HOLY GRAIL!!
I’ve had chronically dry lips my.entire.life. After just a few days of use, this product seemingly reversed years of chapped lips. It practically works over night! You barely need much so a bottle is going to last you forever!

Glycerin, Aqua/Water/Eau, Gluconolactone, Ectoin, Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot) Juice, Citric Acid, Malic Acid, Tartaric Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, Xanthan Gum, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate.

Gluconolactone is a polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that works to dissolve the structures that hold dead skin cells together. Due to their larger molecular weight, PHAs work on the surface of the skin to offer mild exfoliation, making them suitable for sensitive skin.

This formulation also includes a high concentration (>50%) of glycerin to improve hydration and retain moisture as well as ectoin to support the skin barrier and offer long-term hydration. PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum helps to promote skin renewal on the lips to improve their overall appearance and texture over time.
Suggested Usage:
-Apply a thin layer onto clean, dry lips on alternate evenings as needed.
-Allow the product to dry.
-Apply lip balm as needed throughout the day.
-If irritation occurs, rinse off, cease use, and consult a physician.
-Use only as directed on unbroken skin.
-Avoid contact with eyes.
-Patch testing prior to use is advised.
-Refer to our website for a patch test guide, regimen guide, and product compatibility.
-Keep out of reach of children.
-It is recommended that prior to exposure to the sun, users apply sunscreen or an SPF lip balm.
