View SephoraWhat Sephora says
A long-lasting, peptide-packed lip balm/primer with a soft-matte finish that visibly blurs, fills, and minimizes lines while locking your lip color in place.
Apply directly to lips.
Use the edge of the slanted tip to line lips.
Use the flat surface to fill lips in.
Layer under your lipstick for a soft-matte finish.
Use around lips to soften the look of lines.
What Glass adds
A good option if you wear lipstick daily and want a primer that also offers some treatment benefits. It’s a higher price point for a lip product, so consider if the peptide benefits justify the cost for you.
Why people repurchase it
Users appreciate the dual action of priming and treating their lips, leading to smoother lipstick application and wear.
