After I had my lip filler done (several years ago now), my lips were bone-dry and felt stretched really tight. I have naturally thin lips, so this is what one would expect to happen after “filling” them up. Needless to say, I reached for a nourishing, repairing lip treatment multiple times a day to keep my lips quenched and comfortable. Had the RescueMD Restorative Lip Treatment been available at the time, it would have been the perfect fit. Here’s what makes this formula so good, especially for those who get in-office lip treatments.
The Benefits of This Lip Treatment
The star of this lip treatment is lapachol. This is the brand’s exclusive technology that also powers the DNA Repair Complex in its skin-care products. This is a naturally occurring ingredient from the bark of the lapacho tree, and it’s been used for centuries as a homeopathic remedy throughout Central and South America. Lapachol encourages faster recovery after in-office treatments like lip filler, lip blushing and more. It does this by supporting the natural DNA repair mechanism that helps skin repair and regenerate. If your upper lip gets burned during a laser hair removal treatment (or any laser/light treatment), this rich balm will help repair it. It’s also the help you need if your lips get sunburned.
I also love the moisturizing, nonsticky texture, which keeps my dry lips hydrated. I don’t have to worry that it will come off right away like many lip balms do. The cooling ceramic applicator is a bonus. The vegan formula soothes and softens simultaneously, while also providing a subtle plumping effect. But, there’s absolutely no stinging or burning. The treatment doesn’t contain any synthetic fragrance. However, it does contain citrus and fruit extracts that lend a little bit of natural flavor.
According to a survey of 71 aesthetic practitioners and professionals, 99 percent agreed their lips looked and felt healthy after using the treatment. Additionally, 97 percent agreed their lips appeared more defined, and 94 percent agreed their lip lines were less visible.
