Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

Antioxidant, Masking, Skin Conditioning

Tocopherol (also known as Vitamin E) is a common antioxidant used to help protect the skin from free-radicals and strengthen the skin barrier. It's also fat soluble - this means our skin is great at absorbing it.

Vitamin E also helps keep your natural skin lipids healthy. Your lipid skin barrier naturally consists of lipids, ceramides, and fatty acids. Vitamin E offers extra protection for your skin’s lipid barrier, keeping your skin healthy and nourished.

Another benefit is a bit of UV protection. Vitamin E helps reduce the damage caused by UVB rays. (It should not replace your sunscreen). Combining it with Vitamin C can decrease sunburned cells and hyperpigmentation after UV exposure.

You might have noticed Vitamin E + C often paired together. This is because it is great at stabilizing Vitamin C. Using the two together helps increase the effectiveness of both ingredients.

There are often claims that Vitamin E can reduce/prevent scarring, but these claims haven't been confirmed by scientific research.

Perfuming, Solvent

Limonene is a fragrance that adds scent and taste to a formulation.

It's found in the peel oil of citrus fruits and other plants such as lavender and eucalyptus. The scent of limonene is generally described as "sweet citrus".

Limonene acts as an antioxidant, meaning it helps neutralize free radicals.

When exposed to air, oxidized limonene may sensitize the skin. Because of this, limonene is often avoided by people with sensitive skin.

The term 'fragrance' is not regulated in many countries. In many cases, it is up to the brand to define this term. For instance, many brands choose to label themselves as "fragrance-free" because they are not using synthetic fragrances. However, their products may still contain ingredients such as essential oils that are considered a fragrance.

Gave this product a try because I wanted a vegan lip mask to use at night. It exceeded my expectations!

My lips are on the dry side. For years, the only product that worked for me was the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask.

This product gives me soft and hydrated lips every morning, without fail. The consistency is very thick and a little gooey, but a little goes a long way. I enjoy the smell - it Show more

I wanted to love this - all the ingredients are great (you don't often see peptides and vitamin c that aren't at the very end of the list) - it even has a pleasant smell the consistency is where is fails - greasy, unpleasant, globby to apply. I hate it. 2 stars because (1) it's an improvement over the lackluster Laneige alternative, (1) for adding good ingredients.

Does exactly as stated and performs exactly as you would expect for a lip product. I find this very hydrating, it does not dry out my lips and lasts overnight. However I do think there are alternatives that do the same thing for cheaper. Despite this I cannot deny that I love using this as my last step in my night routine - it makes me feel luxurious <3

This is my favorite lip mask ever! My lips have never felt so soft and hydrated before. I use it day and night, and it lasts for most of the day. Since it's kind of expensive, I only use the tiniest scoop and it lasts for more than 3 months!
