Description
Nourishing lip balm with vitamin C and UV protection
The skin of the lips is exceptionally thin, contains no sebaceous glands, and therefore has no natural fat layer to protect it. This causes lips to lose moisture faster, crack in cold or dry air, and often show the first signs of aging earlier than the rest of the face. Moreover, lips are exposed daily to UV radiation, which accelerates fine lines around the mouth and pigmentation changes.
The DermaQuest C Infusion Lip Hydrator is more than an ordinary lip balm. The formula combines intensive nourishment from jojoba and avocado oils with antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin E, and coenzyme Q10, supplemented with chemical UV filters for daily sun protection. Result: lips that feel fuller, smoother, and visibly healthier, with lasting protection against dryness and sun damage.

- Reduces the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth
- Nourishes dry and cracked lips with natural plant oils
- Protects against environmental stress and free radicals with a complex of antioxidants
- Provides a cared-for, natural shine without feeling sticky
Active ingredients
Jojoba and Avocado Oil: Two plant oils that mimic the structure of natural skin sebum. Jojoba oil is excellently absorbed by the skin and provides long-lasting hydration, while avocado oil is rich in vitamins A, D, and E for deep nourishment of dry or cracked lips.
THD Ascorbate (Vitamin C): The most stable and oil-soluble form of vitamin C, which penetrates deeply into the lip tissue. Vitamin C reduces the visibility of pigmentation spots around the mouth, protects against free radicals, and stimulates natural collagen production for fuller, smoother lips.
Coenzyme Q10 (Ubiquinone) & Vitamin E: Two antioxidants that enhance each other in protecting against UV damage and environmental stress. Coenzyme Q10 supports cellular energy production and reduces fine lines, while vitamin E nourishes and repairs the skin barrier.
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 & Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline: Two peptides that stimulate collagen production and visibly increase lip volume. They support skin structure, reduce wrinkles, and give the lips a naturally fuller and more youthful appearance.
Chemical UV Filters (Avobenzone, Octocrylene, Homosalate, Ethylhexyl Salicylate): These broad-spectrum UV filters protect the sensitive skin of the lips against UVA and UVB radiation, a frequently overlooked cause of pigmentation spots, premature aging, and lip cancer.
Salvia Hispanica (Chia Seed) Oil & Sodium Hyaluronate: Chia seed oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids that strengthen the skin barrier, while hyaluronic acid attracts moisture and makes the lips feel instantly fuller.

Frequently asked questions
What level of protection does this lip balm offer?
The manufacturer does not specify an SPF value, but the formula contains a combination of broad-spectrum UV filters that provide protection against UVA and UVB radiation. For prolonged sun exposure at the beach or in the mountains, I recommend adding a specific SPF lip balm or sun protection.
Can I wear this product under lipstick?
Absolutely. The texture is light and non-greasy, making it excellent as a nourishing base under lipstick. Let it absorb briefly before applying your lipstick for longer-lasting color.
Is this lip balm suitable during or after a professional lip treatment?
For calming and hydrating the lips after a filler or laser treatment, I recommend a formula without UV filters or active antioxidants in the first few days, as the lips can be extra sensitive then. Always ask your treating skin therapist for advice.
