INGREDIENTS:

LipX High Strength Active ingredients & function

Tocopheryl Acetate– Oil-soluble anti-oxidant, mops up free radicals to prevent further hyperpigmentation. It improves the skin barrier and hydration levels to create a healing environment for the skin.

Retinyl Palmitate– (Vitamin A) stimulates production of new skin cells and assists with photoaging pigmentation.

Kojic Dipalmitate– Tyrosinase Inhibitor, which then slows down the rate of melanin production. Best form of Kojic acid for skin of colour.

Alpha-Arbutin– Tyrosinase Inhibitor. Derivative of Hydroquinone but without the side effects. This is why it is suitable for skin of colour.

Liquorice extract– Tyrosinase Inhibitor, which then slows down the rate of melanin production.

Niacinamide– Prevents melanosome transfer from the melanocytes (cells that produce melanin) to the surrounding Keratinocytes. So less melanin is visible on the skin’s surface.

Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate– Stable, non-irritating form of Azelaic acid

Phytic Acid– Treats dermal pigmentation. Anti Oxidant and chelates iron molecules in the skin, which are responsible for causing damage to DNA.

Octadecanoic Acid– It acts along the melanin pathway from reducing melanin production to reducing melanin transfer to the keratinocytes.

NO FRAGRANCE, NO DENATURED ALCOHOL, NO ESSENTIAL OILS, NO IRRITANTS

To be used directly on lip hyperpigmentation only, not on non-pigmented skin or around the lips. Use on normal healthy skin only, not if very dry, open or sore. Avoid corners of mouth if sensitive.

Step 1: Dr. V LipX Scrub

Gently removes dead, impenetrable keratinocytes (skin cells) for better absorption of active ingredients.

DIRECTIONS: Massage gently for up to1 minute on wet lips, 2-3 times a week in the evening then wash off. Do not use on broken skin. Apply LipX Mask next.

Step 2: Dr. V LipX Mask

35% active ingredients to slow down the rate of melanin production in the melanocytes (pigment producing cells).

DIRECTIONS: Apply 2-3 Nights a week after your Dr V Lip Scrub. Leave on for 15-20 minutes then wash off. This contains the highest percentage actives from the 3 products so you need ingredients to penetrate. It is advisable to patch test on a small section of lip before applying to the remainder.

PLEASE NOTE: the bottle is an airless pump, and should not be disassembled. It does not contain an applicator, fully press the nozzle down firmly and rapidly to release the product.

Step 3: Dr. V LipX Balm

25% active ingredients in a soothing balm to continue to reduce melanocyte hyperactivity all night.

DIRECTIONS: Apply every night 2 hours before sleeping whether you have applied the Dr V scrub/mask or not.

FURTHER NOTES

A small percentage of users may find this product drying on the lips, due to the high strength active ingredients used. It would be advisable to apply Vaseline during the day if this applies to you.

Not to be used within 1 month of completing other treatment products or 3 months of any professional treatment on the same area.
