Application:

• Apply three times per day on the lips, either alone or over lipstick

Best for:

• Plumping and volumizing lips
• Reducing vertical lip lines
• Hydrating lips

While we love a good dose of lip filler, sometimes, we need a little something ‘extra’ to maintain our pooch – particularly when we feel dry and ‘shriveled.’ The Collagen Infusion lip plumping serum by Functionalab gives lips the daily boost they need to look their best.

In a product study with 29 women, 97% were shown to have fuller lips within 30 days. Participants were between the ages of 23 and 59.

But, you won’t have to wait 30 days to see results – this collagen lip product was made to give instant moisturization and plump to the lips. The effects were shown to be cumulative at day 30, with consistent use.

Collagen Infusion is not just for raising lips. You can think of it as anti-aging for the lips, too. It attacks vertical lines and moisturizes deeply to keep lips healthy.

Notable skin care ingredients:

Far from being an ordinary lip balm, Collagen Infusion is packed with advanced, scientific anti-aging and skin-benefitting ingredients. These include:

SWT-7™ – a proprietary, stem cell and growth factor action-based formula made of maltodextrin and Swertia Chirata extract (a.k.a. Indian Gentian leaves). It is designed to thicken skin through keratinocyte reproduction, thus reducing wrinkles and lines.

2% peptide combination:

As the basis of collagen protein synthesis, peptides help to rebuild skin. Peptide ‘rockstars’ in Collagen Infusion include:

Maxilip™ – a proprietary formula containing Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, along with fatty acids. It is designed to stimulate collagen and hyaluronic acid production in the lips.

Volulip™ – a proprietary formula containing Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38, along with emollients and plant extracts. It is designed to improve lip shape, softness and volume through the stimulation of collagen and hyaluronic acid production. It also contains Portulaca Pilosa extract – a plant known for its antioxidant and hydrating properties when used in skin care.

Zingiber Officinale Root extract – also known as ginger root extract, this ingredient acts as an antioxidant and skin soother.

Tocopheryl acetate – a stable form of Vitamin E, used as an antioxidant.

Sodium hyaluronate – a salt form of hyaluronic acid, which can retain 1000 times its weight in water, to keep the lips soft and moisturized.

Plus additional skin soothers, emollients and humectants (i.e. water retainers) to keep lips moisturized. These include shea butter, adenosine, menthol and soybean oil, among others.
