Ultimate Lip Perfecter

Powered by peptides for deep moisture repair and lip volumising benefits. Lip skin is more delicate and thinner than the skin of other areas of the face or body. It is often characterised by dryness, chapping, ageing and loss of volume. This is because there is no keratinised stratum corneum layer, no oilo r sweat glands in the lip skin either, which means this skin can’t produce and maintain the hydro lipidic film to prevent moisture evaporating and theskin drying out. Lip skin is virtually unprotected from the environment and external aggressors, making them more fragile than other areas of the face, and susceptible to accelerated skin ageing. Lip volume requires moisture, so unfortunately lips age and develop a thin, mature appearance faster than other areas of the face, because lip skin doesn’t have the natural skin barrier, and protective qualities required to maintain water levels.

Enter our star ingredient Hirurlip®! This functional ingredient contains Tripeptide-1 which helps to ‘teach’ skin cells how to repair their youthful appearance by producing collagen. In the skin, this peptide breaks down to a type I collagen fragment, a peptide fragment that the skin recognises as damaged collagen. The skin’s repair response mechanism is to develop more collagen to compensate for what it perceives as damage. Hirurlip® also contains low weight Hyaluronic acid (HA), a molecule size able to be absorbed for greater efficacy. Once in contact with natural water in the skin, the HA swells and re-plumps the from the inside. In vivo tests of Hirurlip® at a dose of 2%, show immediate moisture increases of 40%; 30%lip volume increase and 100% of volunteers expressed positive results on lip appearances and softness.

Trans epidermal water loss (TEWL) is further prevented by Vitamin F Forte used in this product. This ingredient derived from Safflower oil is 70%-80% natural Linoleic acid, one of the essential fatty acids, which the body cannot produce itself. Linoleic acid is beneficial for skin because it is a precursor for Ceramide 1, important for the skin’s barrier function, prevention of TEWL and for its anti-inflammatory effect on the skin. In vitroas says of Vitamin F Forte at 3% showed significant TEWL reduction and a pronounced increase in skin smoothness.
