How it works
The 5 Peptide B5 Sensitive Repair Salve Lip Balm is a lip balm, used on clean lips, at any point in the day and again as the last thing before bed. The peptide it is built around is Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, named twenty-seventh on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Allantoin, Madecassoside and Sodium DNA, so the peptide is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the lip balm format rather than by the list alone. COSRX sells this Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 lip balm in Korea, and this is that version.
Key benefits

- Gluconolactone on the same list, an exfoliant
- Lactic Acid and Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 further down the same list
- Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 further down the same list
- Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 named twenty-seventh on the manufacturer list printed on this page
Key actives
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1peptide
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 is a short peptide with a fatty tail added so it can travel through the oily outer layer of skin. It is used for the look of firmness and is almost always paired with palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7. The name on the box points at it, and it is named twenty-seventh on this lip balm's own ingredient list.
Allantoinactive
Allantoin is a comfrey-derived compound used to condition skin and soften the outer layer so it feels smoother. It is one of the standard additions to a formula built for easily irritated skin. It is named fourteenth on this lip balm's list, alongside Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1.
Madecassosideactive
Madecassoside is the centella triterpene most associated with the look of redness, and the one brands lead with in cica products. It is water soluble and stable, so it appears in essences as readily as in creams. It is named seventeenth on this lip balm's list, alongside Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1.
Sodium DNAactive
Sodium DNA is the salt of DNA, in Korean skincare almost always salmon derived, and it is the ingredient behind the PDRN category. It is used as a humectant and for the look of tired skin; the fragments themselves are what the name PDRN refers to. The panel names it thirty-second on this lip balm's list, beside Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1.
Gluconolactoneexfoliant
Gluconolactone is a PHA, the gentlest exfoliant class. The panel names it twenty-second on this lip balm's list, beside Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1.
COSRX 5 Peptide B5 Sensitive Repair Salve Lip Balm
Where does this lip balm go in my routine?
On clean lips, at any point in the day and again as the last thing before bed. Anything thinner than a lip balm goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and not three changes at once.
What else is on the list besides Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1?
Allantoin, Madecassoside and Sodium DNA. The order they are printed in on this lip balm's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Gluconolactone, Lactic Acid and Acetyl Hexapeptide-8.

How to use
- Use the 5 Peptide B5 Sensitive Repair Salve Lip Balm on bare lips, through the day and last thing at night.
- A thin layer by day, a thick one before bed, taken right up to the lip line.
- Nothing goes over it, and whatever is left on the fingertip is worth using on dry cuticles.
- As often as lips ask for it. Do not lick or blot it off; a salve only works while it is still in place.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this lip balm on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 on the list.
- Gluconolactone and Lactic Acid on this list makes this lip balm an exfoliating step, so do not stack it with another one on the same night.
