I was slightly concerned whether this would irritate or peel my lips even more, but after a handful of times, I can confirm this never happened, instead, I wake up to softer lips that absorb serums even better. However, I would go slowly and see how your lips react, you don't want, by any means, irritated lips. 🥴
As you can imagine, since this is a peeling, it will obviously have acids, but it also has nourishing ingredients, and since I love breaking down INCI lists, 🤠here we go:
Glycolic, lactic and salicylic acids to remove dead skin and give you baby-soft lips. 👶
Hyaluronic acid, ceramide NP and cholesterol to nourish your brand-new skin. 🥰
Glycerin and mannitol to moisturize and shea butter, coconut oil and some plant waxed to keep all the moisture in. 💦
As for the experience, the first few times I felt slight numbness the first few minutes, but I've either got used to the feeling or my skin got used to the product.
Of course it tastes (I would be concerned if it didn't) but it kinda tastes like all the other balms I have, no big deal, and you use it right before bed so you won't notice much. I personally don't use the applicator because I always rather use my fingers, but this has a cute metallic applicator that will make it easier if you don't want to use your fingers and it is easy to clean.
