Core Ingredients

• Citric Acid (AHA): Alpha hydroxy acid that exfoliates surface dead skin cells, promotes cell turnover, smooths texture, and enhances lip softness and smoothness.
• Betaine Salicylate (BHA): Beta hydroxy acid that penetrates deeper to clear flakes, refine lips, and remove embedded impurities for comprehensive exfoliation.
• Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C Derivative): Stable form of vitamin C that brightens lip tone, reduces dullness, supports collagen production, and provides antioxidant protection against free radicals.
• Anemarrhena Asphodeloides Root Extract (Volufiline™): Proprietary natural plumping agent that stimulates lip volume and fullness through enhanced microcirculation without discomfort.
• Petrolatum: Ultra-occlusive agent that prevents transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and creates protective barrier for intense hydration and lip repair—most effective moisture lock ingredient available.
• Butyrospermum Parkii Butter (Shea Butter): Rich in fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants. Deeply nourishes, conditions, and restores natural lip barrier integrity and elasticity.
• Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil: Nutrient-dense oil rich in vitamins A, C, E, and amino acids. Provides anti-inflammatory, protective, and conditioning benefits for lip health.
• Botanical Extracts (Turmeric, Peppermint, Eggplant, Neem, etc.): Additional antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents supporting lip health, reducing irritation, and enhancing natural lip color.

Important Notes

• Normal Tingling Sensation: A mild tingling, warming, or slight plumping sensation is completely normal and expected—it means the AHA/BHA exfoliation and Volufiline plumping are working effectively to stimulate blood flow and fullness.
• Individual Sensitivity: Intensity of tingling varies based on individual lip sensitivity, hydration level, and skin barrier condition. Those with very dry or compromised lips may experience more pronounced sensation.
• Discontinue if Uncomfortable: If excessive irritation, severe discomfort, or allergic reaction occurs, discontinue use immediately and consult dermatologist.
• Avoid Broken or Cracked Skin: Do not apply on severely cracked, broken, or extremely damaged lips. Wait until minor damage heals before use to prevent increased irritation.
• Safe for Daily AM & PM Use: Suitable for both morning and evening use—morning for makeup primer effect, evening for overnight lip treatment and repair.
• Ingredients May Change: COSRX periodically updates formulations. Always check ingredient list on packaging before use, especially if you have known allergies or sensitivities.

Step 1 - Prepare Lips: Apply on clean, completely dry lips. For best results, use a soft lip brush or your finger to gently exfoliate any loose dead skin with light circular motions before applying product. Pat dry thoroughly—any moisture can dilute the formula's effectiveness.

Step 2 - Apply Product: Using the included spatula or clean fingertip, scoop an appropriate amount (about pea-sized for full lips or smaller for lip balm application) and apply generously to entire lip surface. The product melts slightly with body heat for smooth, effortless application.

Step 3 - Daily Wear/Gloss Application: For daytime use, apply thin layer and allow 1-2 minutes to absorb and set. Use alone for a glossy, healthy lip glow or wear under lipstick as a smoothing primer base. Reapply throughout day as needed for continued glossy finish.

Step 4 - Overnight Treatment: For intensive lip mask treatment, apply a thicker layer generously before bed and leave overnight. The occlusive base will lock in moisture, allowing overnight repair and intensive hydration to occur. Wipe off excess in the morning if desired.

Step 5 - Expect Tingling: A mild tingling, warming, or slightly uncomfortable sensation is completely normal and indicates the exfoliating acids and plumping agents are working. Intensity typically subsides within 5-10 minutes. If excessive irritation persists beyond 15 minutes, gently remove with soft tissue.

Frequency: Use both AM and PM for optimal results. Can be used daily as part of lip care routine. Safe for daily use without adjustment.

Pro Tips: Apply lip plumper before makeup for perfect lip color canvas. Combine with lip liner for enhanced definition. Store in cool place—refrigeration can enhance cooling, soothing effect. Safe to use with other lip products but allow proper absorption between applications.
