Dermelect Upper Lip & Perioral Anti-Aging Treatment, Professional Strength 15ml — Retinol & Hyaluronic

Dermelect Smooth Upper Lip Professional is a concentrated 15ml treatment designed to smooth vertical lip lines, fade perioral discoloration, and prime lips for cleaner lipstick application.

This compact, professional-strength formula targets the delicate skin around the mouth with a blend of moisture-binding hyaluronic spheres, peptide technology, and retinol derivatives. It was developed to address common concerns such as vertical “smoker’s” lines, shadowed pigmentation beneath the nose, and lipstick feathering, while providing a refined base for makeup. The product’s ceramic applicator delivers precise placement so the active ingredients are applied exactly where they’re needed.

How does this product reduce the look of vertical lip lines?

Smooth Upper Lip Professional uses hydrating fillers and peptides that plump and smooth the skin surface, reducing the appearance of fine vertical lines. Regular use helps improve surface texture and creates the impression of a softer lip contour without invasive procedures.

• Hyaluronic filling spheres attract and bind moisture for temporary plumping.
• Matrixyl 3000 peptide complex supports visible smoothing of creases.
• Retinol derivative helps accelerate surface renewal for improved texture.

Will it help with upper-lip discoloration or shadowing under the nose?

The formula includes brightening actives that target uneven pigmentation in the perioral region to help diminish the appearance of shadowed areas. While results vary with skin type and consistency of use, these ingredients are selected to gently improve radiance and even tone around the mouth.

• Advanced brighteners to reduce the look of perioral darkening.
• Hydrators that smooth skin for a more even light-reflecting surface.
• Consistent application supports gradual visible improvement in tone.

How does it perform as a lip primer for lipstick?

Beyond treating lines and discoloration, this product creates a smooth, hydrated base that helps lipstick adhere more evenly and resist feathering. Applied before color, it reduces bleeding and creates a refined canvas for longer-wearing makeup finishes.

• Ceramic applicator allows precise placement along the vermilion border.
• Fills micro-creases to prevent color settling and feathering.
• Hydrating matrix improves lipstick glide and finish uniformity.

How do I use it safely and effectively every day?

Apply a small amount directly to the upper lip border and perioral lines once daily, preferably at night if using retinol-containing formulas, and again before makeup as a primer if tolerated. A little goes a long way; the ceramic tip helps control dosage and placement.

• Use nightly at first to assess tolerance to active ingredients.
• Apply sparingly along the vertical lines and around the mouth for targeted effect.
• Follow with sunscreen during daytime use; reduce frequency if irritation appears.

Who is this for: Dermelect Smooth Upper Lip Professional is formulated for anyone seeking a targeted, non-invasive approach to soften vertical lip lines, address perioral shadowing, and improve lipstick application. It suits all skin types when used as directed, including those who want a professional-strength topical option without clinical procedures. If you have very sensitive skin or are using strong prescription retinoids, consult a skincare professional before introducing a new active formula.
