Not that my lips need extra plumping but its always cool to try something new. SkinXL landed at my doorstep a while ago and I've been testing out their Lip Plumper ever since.
Key ingredients include:
- Hyaluronic acid - a humectant (preservesretains water), common in skincare products for dry skin and known to hold 1000x its weight in water
- Palmitoyl Oligopeptide - a synthetic amino acid/peptide that
- Vitamin E - another common skincare ingredient.
The product claims are as follows:
- On application - smooth, soft, immediately luscious lips
- In the long term - application 3x per day for a month to result in a 40% increase in lip volume, 29% reduction in surface folds and 60% improved hydration.
It's not that they're totally unreasonable but the claims immediately after application are vague, while the long term effects require consistent application of the product over a fairly long period of time (which is difficult for a lazy person such as myself). I used the Skin XL 2x a day, maybe 2-3 times a week for over a month.
No immediate differences. There's no tingling either. The Skin XL Lip Plumper doesn't feel like a lip plumper at all. It simply looks and feels like a hydrating, non-sticky lip gloss. At best, I can say it's a beautifully hydrating balm.
Do you have a favourite lip plumper?
