## How it works

A plumper works on how full a lip looks rather than on how it is built, and the format is a balm here rather than a gloss. That means it wears like something that stays on the lips instead of a shine that sits on them. It goes on bare lips whenever you want it, or over lip color as the last layer. Lips that look flat by the afternoon are the case for a step like this, and it can be reapplied through the day. It is a finishing touch rather than a treatment, so it does not replace a balm at night.

## How to use

1. Use the Refresh AHA BHA Vitamin C Lip Plumper on bare lips, or over lip color as the last layer.
2. One pass over each lip straight from the tube, and a second only where lips look driest.
3. Nothing needs to go over it, and it sits happily on top of a balm that has already settled.
4. Whenever you want it, through the day. Do not use it on cracked or split lips; wait until the surface is intact.

## FAQ

### What is this lip plumper for?

This is a glossy balm built on petrolatum, hydrogenated polyisobutene and shea butter, with vanillyl butyl ether positioned to create the warming tingle associated with a plumped look. Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, a vitamin C derivative, and betaine salicylate, a BHA, both appear on the list, though this tube's own ingredient list carries no AHA acid despite the AHA in the product name.

### Will the warming tingle irritate sensitive lips?

The tingle comes from vanillyl butyl ether rather than an acid exfoliant, and the list carries no added fragrance or denatured alcohol. Anyone who reacts to warming lip products generally should test a small patch first, since the sensation is a designed feature of the formula rather than an incidental side effect.

### Does this balm need repeated use to keep working, or does one swipe do it?

The warming, plumped feeling from vanillyl butyl ether fades as the balm wears through the day rather than building with repeated applications, so reapplying is how the effect continues rather than any cumulative process. Expect the tingle each time you apply rather than a lasting structural change to the lips.

### Can this go over lipstick or a tinted lip product?

Yes, it is meant to work over color as a glossy topcoat, or on bare lips. The formula runs on petrolatum, shea butter and waxes, none of which are built to react with pigmented lip products, so layering it over color is the intended use.

### How can I confirm my tube is the authentic Korean-market formula?

COSRX checks its own units: locate the batch number and expiration date printed on your tube, then enter them on the verification page at cosrx.com rather than taking a listing's word for it. This tube carries barcode 8809598453401.
