Cosmedix Enhance Lip-Plumping Mask 10ml

Description
Nourishing lip mask with peptides for fuller and softer lips
The skin on the lips is different from other areas of the face: there are hardly any sebaceous glands, the stratum corneum is thinner, and the barrier is less protective. As a result, lips lose moisture faster, chap in cold and wind, and become narrower over time as collagen and elasticity decrease. A regular lip balm provides temporary comfort but rarely addresses the structural causes of chapped or thinner-looking lips.
Cosmedix Enhance is a highly concentrated lip mask that both nourishes and enhances the appearance of the lips. The formula combines palmitoyl tripeptide-1 with shea butter, cocoa butter, and a botanical bio-polymer that forms a moisture barrier for long-lasting hydration. The cool metal applicator provides a pleasant, hygienic application and has an immediate soothing effect on chapped or irritated lips. Suitable for daily care and as an intensive overnight treatment.

- Intensively hydrates and repairs chapped, dry lips
- Forms a moisture barrier thanks to a botanical bio-polymer
- Cool metal applicator for immediate soothing and hygienic application
- Usable during the day as a balm and at night as an intensive treatment
Active ingredients
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1: A targeted peptide that supports the natural production of collagen, contributing to fuller, more defined lips. Unlike irritating plumping ingredients such as capsaicin or menthol derivatives, this peptide works structurally without temporarily irritating or burning the lips.
Botanical bio-polymer: A plant-based film-forming ingredient that creates a breathable moisture barrier on the lips. Retains hydration for hours and protects the lips from cold, wind, dry air conditioning, and other environmental factors that accelerate dehydration.
Shea butter: One of the most nourishing natural butters in skincare. Provides essential fatty acids and vitamins that strengthen the lip barrier and immediately soothe chapped, dry lips. Especially valuable in winter or when exposed to dry air.
Cocoa butter (Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter): Rich in oleic acid, palmitic acid, and antioxidants such as vitamin E and polyphenols. Nourishes even the driest lips and contributes to a smoother, more supple lip surface in the long term. Melts comfortably at body temperature.
Castor oil (Ricinus Communis Seed Oil): A traditional base oil in lip care thanks to ricinoleic acid. Gives the formula a light shine, ensures the product adheres well to the lips, and enhances the barrier effect of the other oils and butters.
Peppermint oil: Provides a light refreshing sensation and subtly stimulates microcirculation on the lip surface, contributing to a naturally rosier appearance. At this dosage, it is comfortable and non-irritating, even for sensitive lips.
Vitamin E (Tocopherol): An antioxidant that protects the skin from free radicals and supports the natural shelf life of the plant oils in the formula.

Frequently asked questions
Does Enhance really work as a plumping treatment or is it mainly a lip balm?
Enhance works on two levels simultaneously. Palmitoyl tripeptide-1 supports the natural skin structure of the lips for visibly fuller lips after several weeks of consistent use. At the same time, the combination of shea butter, cocoa butter, and the botanical bio-polymer provides an immediate hydrating effect, making lips look instantly smoother and fuller — without the irritation of classic plumpers containing capsaicin or menthol derivatives.
How long does a 10ml package last?
With daily use two to three times a day, a tube typically lasts three to four months. The concentrated formula requires only a thin layer per application, making the product economical to use.
Can I wear Enhance under or over lipstick?
Both work. As a nourishing base under lipstick, Enhance helps pigments blend more smoothly and prevents lips from drying out due to the matte finish. As a topcoat over lipstick, it provides a subtle shine and extra hydration. For long-lasting wear under matte lipstick, allow it to absorb before applying the lipstick.
Is Enhance suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Yes, Enhance contains no retinoids, salicylic acid, or other ingredients that are discouraged during these periods. It is a safe choice for those seeking effective lip care during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Why is the metal applicator cooled and how do I use it best?
The metal tip naturally maintains a lower temperature than the lips themselves, providing an immediate soothing effect on chapped or irritated lips upon contact — similar to the rolling principle of a cooled eye cream. For extra effect, the tube can be kept in the refrigerator for a few minutes before use. The applicator also ensures the formula is applied hygienically and without finger contact.
