I received this product for free from Picky and Primera in exchange for my honest review.
If you are someone who loves a clear gloss moment, then you’ll probably love this option. Considering this is a lip serum, I was expecting it to be a smoother formula that was less tacky than it felt to me. It features multiple oils in the formula, so I thought it would be more lightweight and smooth like other lip oils I’ve tried as of late. This was on the more thick and goopy side texture wise, but I can handle that.
If you have never used a lip retinol before, it is meant to be used every 2-3 days if you have sensitive skin (like I do). Until your skin becomes accustomed to you using this product, then you can eventually use it daily for a plumping product (continued use it is meant to result in fuller looking lips over time). Did I feel like this gave me fuller lips in the two weeks that I tried this? No. This is your reminder that you need to also pair this with a lippie with SPF in your routine, because lips can get sun burned just like the rest of your skin!
The applicator didn’t get enough of the lip product on it to coat your lips in one application. Even using the product from both sides of the applicator, I had to dip in at least 1-2 more times to get enough product to coat my lips evenly. It also didn’t want to come out of the tube easily? I’m not sure how to describe it other than there was a bit of resistance when you try pulling it out of the tube, so maybe the fit of the applicator in the container was not quite right.
This had a more floral scent than I prefer my lip products to have as well. I also experienced more flaking on my lips with use of this product (which it does warn can happen. Retinols can do this with my regular skin as well if I don’t balance it out with a good moisturizer, since it is promoting the overturning of dead skin cells). This product was okay, but I didn’t see amazing results from it that really wowed me.
