Are you looking for a clean, vegan lip product that will gently renew your lips appearance while hydrating and improving fine lines leaving you with soft, smooth lips? bareMinerals has the solution for you regardless of your age, skin type, or skin tone. The bareMinerals Ageless Phyto Retinol Lip Ma...sk is a clean, vegan overnight lip mask with a plant-based retinol alternative (Phyto Retinol) that gently replenishes essential moisture and boosts lip radiance over time. bareMinerals Ageless Phyto Retinol Lip Mask contains no parabens, formaldehyde, or synthetic fragrances. There is a very faint, but pleasant, citrusy scent that is derived naturally and tasteless. This lip mask also doesn't contain gluten or petrolatum which are 2 common allergens found in skincare & beauty products. So how does it work then without all of those harmful ingredients? It contains papaya enzymes which help to renew the appearance of lips leaving them soft and smooth. Another ingredient, hyaluronic acid, provides instant long-lasting hydration to improve the look and feel of skin's texture. Then there is the plant-based retinol alternative, Phyto Retinol, which is just as effective as retinol, but gentle enough for our lips. This ageless lip mask comes in a 0.44 oz jar and retails for $30 but will last quite awhile because a little goes a very long way with this. I have incorporated this lip mask into my night time skincare routine and I also apply a thin layer in the daytime to help prevent any cracks or flakes on my lips after applying my makeup and lip color. bareMinerals uses the best quality ingredients in this Ageless Phyto Retinol Lip Mask. It has been dermatologist tested and PETA certified cruelty-free. After using this every night for about a month now I have noticed some pros and cons. First the cons- this comes in a jar vs a tube or a stick like most lip products which leaves a greater risk for contamination. There is also no wand or spatula included which would be better to use to apply with than my fingers. But I just make sure to wash my hands before applying each time to try to prevent contamination. Now the pros- which far outweigh the cons in my opinion. This is instantly smoothing, it doesn't have the grainy feel like other products that are similar. Because of its gentle retinol alternative it's non-irritating. It has a great staying power and is very long lasting. It has a thick consistency, but goes on very smooth and doesn't leave my lips feeling sticky or greasy. It almost feels weightless, even when I use a much ticker layer it never feels heavy on my lips. After only 4 weeks of use it has left my lips softer, smoother, plumper, and more youthful looking. Though I have not yet noticed my fine lines disappearing yet I am very hopeful that they will as long as I continue to use it nightly and daily which I plan to do. Overall, I am very happy and satisfied with the bareMinerals Ageless Phyto Retinol Lip Mask and I plan to purchase again and again to keep my lips looking and feeling beautiful. I've already told all my close friends and family about this product and suggested they also give it a try. I recommend this to anyone of all ages that are beginning to notice their lips losing hydration or starting to see any fine lines in their lips and wanting a clean, vegan product that is safe, effective, and non-irritating for lips.
