I was gifted this product for free from CNP Laboratory and Picky in exchange for my honest review.
I'm thrilled to share my experience with CNP Laboratory's Propolis Lipcerin! This lip balm has become a staple in my daily skincare routine.
*Application:*
I apply a thin layer to my lips throughout the day, especially before bed. It's also perfect for pre-lipstick/lip gloss application.
*Feel on skin:*
It glides on smoothly, leaving my lips soft, hydrated, and silky.
*Active Ingredients:*
1. Propolis Extract (50%): Soothes, moisturizes, and protects lips.
2. Beeswax: Locks in moisture.
3. Coconut Oil: Hydrates and nourishes.
4. Vitamin E: Antioxidant properties.
5. Fruit Extracts (Orange, Lemon, Lime): Natural flavor and antioxidant benefits.
*Safety and Frequency:*
Yes, it's safe for daily use. I apply it morning and night.
*Skin Care Step:*
Use as the final step in your skincare routine, or as needed throughout the day.
*Compatibility:*
Works well with most products, but be cautious combining with:
- Exfoliating products (AHA/BHA) might reduce its moisturizing effect.
- Retinol: Apply Lipcerin after retinol products to avoid reducing retinol's efficacy.
- Vitamin C: No issues, but apply Lipcerin after vitamin C products.
- Niacinamide: Compatible, but consider applying Lipcerin at night to avoid potential niacinamide-induced redness.
*Texture:*
Smooth, lightweight, and non-greasy.
*Key Considerations:*
- Avoid using with lip products containing salicylic acid or glycolic acid.
- If you have sensitive skin, start with a small patch test.
CNP Laboratory Propolis Lipcerin Fruity is a game-changer for lip care. Its propolis extract and natural ingredients provide long-lasting hydration and protection. I highly recommend it!
*Recommendation:*
Perfect for anyone seeking a moisturizing, non-sticky lip balm with natural ingredients. Great for daily use, especially during dry or cold weather.
