SkinCeuticals Antioxidant Lip Repair

SkinCeuticals Antioxidant Lip Repair is an emollient treatment for the lips and the skin immediately around them, an area most routines skip entirely. It smooths and refines the lip surface, alleviates dryness and tightness, and provides antioxidant protection against environmental damage.

The perioral area deserves the attention. Lip skin has no oil glands and a very thin barrier, and the vertical lines that form above the upper lip are among the earliest and most persistent signs of facial aging.

It is also specifically useful for relief of the lip dryness caused by drying prescription therapies such as oral isotretinoin. It suits all skin types and is TSA approved for carry-on.

1. Apply a small amount to your lips and the skin immediately surrounding them.
2. Extend slightly above the vermilion border, the natural edge of the lip, to address vertical lines.
3. Use morning and evening, and reapply through the day as needed.
4. Apply generously at night, when there is no eating or drinking to remove it.

If you are on oral isotretinoin or another drying medication, reapply as often as comfort requires.

The perioral area is one of the most neglected regions in skincare and one of the most telling. Vertical lip lines, thinning of the lip, and loss of definition at the vermilion border are strong markers of facial aging, and they appear earlier in people who smoke or have had significant sun exposure.

Our providers recommend this to essentially everyone, and specifically to patients on isotretinoin, where lip dryness is close to universal and often severe.

A good lip treatment improves surface quality and hydration. It does not restore lost lip volume or correct deep vertical lines, which are addressed with treatments such as filler, a lip lift, or perioral resurfacing. L&P Aesthetics can talk you through those.
