Help with vertical lip lines

sweetwater · ‎03-14-2010

Hello everyone: I am trying to find out what everyone uses & has had luck with for their vertical lip lines. I have been the Philosophy eye & lip cream for about 2 months & have no improvement at all.

Has anyone tried the one by M.Asam? I did a search for some ideas but did not find too many & not very good reveiws on the ones I did find. I don't expect them to go away completely but would like a little improvement. I will be 60 in a few weeks & they are getting worse - I won't even put lipstick on anymore. I use a colorless lipliner first but that is not helping at all.

Thanks in advance - have a great week-end!!!

I don't know deep your vertical lines are or if you're open to treatments rather than skincare, but when I started using Retin A, mine went away. Like really gone. If lines are deeper, there's been great data about using lasers as a treatment.

Phil Hope in a Tube is glorified mineral oil and petroleum, worhtless!!! Try something like Skinn Lip Stem Sejen, Isomers Expression Line Tamer or Skinn Deep Line Eraser.

I use Retin-A and Skinn Lip Stem Rejen.

If the lines are very deep and noticeable, I'd recommend you see a dermatologist. It may be that nonsurgical treatments like lasers or fillers can be helpful.

nothing has worked on mine.

i have used retin a but i have a hard time using it for long periods of time because my skin is so sensitive.

IMO, there is no topical application that will rid anyone of the vertical lip lines. I finally had juvederm injections with great results.

Here are some things I have found that help.. SKINN Dermappeal to exoliate the lip line areas. Do it frequently. Use cleansers that don't dry or prune the skin. SSC's Glycolic Peel - I put this on at least every other night before my other products. Leave it on all night. Other products that have helped are Bare Minerals Multi-Wrinkle Repair, SKINN 24-Hr Youth Preservation cream/balm, Korres Sleeping Facial. SKINN Enriched Softening Essence. I'm not suggesting that you buy all of these products but they are the ones that I have created an am/pm routine with that do help my lip lines & I have not found just 1 product that will do that.

At night, I use the inexpensive ELF lip exfoliator followed by lip balm. During the day, I use Jack Black's lip blam with spf under lipstick--- after lining with the No More Bleeding Lip liner sold at Sephora.

I agree with twopeas. If there was a topical that got rid of those lines you'd better believe we would all know about it and we would have run out to buy it. I think keeping this area moisturizer helps and don't drink anything using a straw. I, like twopeas, have had Juvederm, and a little Botox, and had great results as well.
