Clinically proven to plump lips by up to 40% in 4 weeks*, Tripeptide Plumping Lip Balm hydrates, repairs and plumps lips leaving them looking naturally fuller and healthier. Specially formulated for maximum fullness without any tingle or irritation, the plumping balm works over time to visibly increase lip volume. So now your lips not only look plumper but, ARE plumper. No filter, no filler, just fuller.

Formulated with 6% Tripeptide Complex, to visibly increase lip volume over time for plumper-looking, more defined lips, together with 2% Ultra Filling Spheres which deliver Hyaluronic Acid to the lip to plump, retain moisture and help to fill fine lines, Tripeptide Lip Balm enhances fullness, defines lip contours, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and creasing around the mouth. With continued use, the proof really is in the plump. For best results we recommend using at least 3-times per day for 4 weeks.

Unlike some traditional cosmetic lip plumpers, this multi-tasking lip plumper works to maintain the skin barrier and retain moisture to improve and protect overall lip health whilst visibly enhancing lip volume. The clear lip plumping balm leaves a natural sheen on the lips which can be worn alone or over lip colour for a glossy finish.

Suitable for everyone, especially those looking to improve fullness and/or dry, cracked and damaged lips.

Delivered by science, not irritation, the future of fuller lips has arrived.

FAQs

HOW DOES IT ACTUALLY WORK?
Unlike some traditional cosmetic lip plumpers, this multi-tasking balm works to help maintain the skin barrier and retain moisture to improve and protect for healthier-looking lips and visibly enhanced lip volume.

There are 2 hero ingredients working hard to deliver the results:

6% Tripeptide Complex: By targeting the visible signs of volume loss, Tripeptides work below the lip surface to increase lip volume and help to create plumper-looking, more defined lips over time.
2% Ultra Filling Spheres: Spheres of dehydrated Hyaluronic Acid absorb water from the skin and expand on the lip to instantly swell for plumper-looking lips. They also help to retain moisture and fill fine lines.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I STOP USING IT? HOW LONG WILL RESULTS LAST?
In our clinical trials, a visible increase in lip volume was seen in as little as 2 weeks. Everyone's skin is different, but for best results, we would recommend using at least 3x per day (including your AM and PM skincare routine). Like many skincare products, to maintain the benefits you need to continue use of the product.

IS IT STICKY?
No it's not sticky like a gloss more like a smooth balm.

WILL IT TINGLE/BURN/STING?
It doesn't tingle/burn or sting.

DOES IT CONTAIN SPF?
No.

WHAT DOES IT TASTE LIKE/SMELL LIKE?
The product does not contain any flavours so it is characteristic of the materials within the product.

CAN I LAYER IT WITH LIPSTICK?
You can layer it with any of your favourite products to give them a glossy boost (our cofounder Colette loves to pair this with her favourite red lipstick!)

CAN I USE IT MORE THAN 3X PER DAY?
Reapply at least 3 times a day for best results but can be applied as many times as you'd like.

HOW DOES THIS FIT INTO INKEY'S 'STEPS' ON THE BACK OF PACKAGING, OR DOES IT SIT COMPLETELY SEPARATE? The Tripeptide Lip Balm is a separate addition to our usual routine as we recommend using 3x per day for best results. The ideal final step in both the AM and PM routine, plus it can also be used regularly throughout the day.

THE MODEL'S LIPS LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE COLOUR. IS THE TRIPEPTIDE PLUMPING LIP BALM COLOURED OR CLEAR?
All models’ lips are their natural lip colour. The balm is clear and leaves a natural sheen on the lips which we recommend can be worn alone or over lip colour for a glossy finish.

CAN I STILL USE IT IF I HAVE LIP FILLERS? IS IT SAFE? WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I WEAR IT AND HAVE LIP FILLERS?
Yes, this product can be used if you have lip filler. The formula contains hyaluronic acid and a blend of nourishing oils to help hydrate and smooth lip lines. As with all products, we recommend patch test prior to use. If you have any concerns, contact your GP.
