SkinCeuticals Antioxidant Lip Repair

SkinCeuticals Antioxidant Lip Repair is a clinically formulated emollient lip treatment designed to combat the visible and physical effects of environmental damage on the delicate lip area. Powered by a dual-antioxidant complex and a rich blend of humectants and botanical emollients, this potent treatment smooths, rehydrates, and rejuvenates the lip surface — alleviating dryness, tightness, and the appearance of fine lip lines for a fuller, healthier, more youthful look.

Suitable for everyday use, Antioxidant Lip Repair is also clinically recommended for patients experiencing lip dryness as a side effect of drying prescription therapies such as oral isotretinoins (e.g., Accutane). Its gentle yet effective formula makes it appropriate for all skin types, including sensitive and sensitized skin.

Skin Types

Suitable for all skin types: dry, normal, oily, combination, and sensitive. Particularly beneficial for those experiencing chronic lip dryness, dehydration, or sensitivity.

Skin Concerns

Formulated to address sensitized, dehydrated, and discoloured lips, as well as lip aging, fine lines, and dryness associated with acne treatments or environmental exposure.

Benefits

• Attracts and retains moisture to rejuvenate, reshape, and replenish lip tissue
• Provides relief from lip dryness caused by drying prescription therapies such as oral isotretinoins
• Alleviates dryness and tightness for immediate comfort
• Smooths the appearance of deep lip lines for a fuller, more youthful look
• Neutralizes free radicals to protect lips from ongoing environmental damage
• Soothes and heals dry, irritated, and chapped lips

Key Ingredients

• Silymarin — A potent antioxidant derived from milk thistle that neutralizes free radicals, fights visible signs of aging, and helps protect the delicate lip area from environmental stressors.
• Vitamin E (Alpha Tocopherol) — A well-established antioxidant that nourishes and conditions dry skin while providing an additional layer of environmental protection for the lips.
• Hydroxyethyl Urea — A powerful water-binding humectant that replenishes moisture levels and improves the skin's elasticity and suppleness over time.
• Hyaluronic Acid — A naturally occurring humectant that delivers long-lasting hydration, plumping the lip surface and improving the overall look of skin texture.
• Allantoin — A botanical anti-irritant extract renowned for its skin-soothing and healing properties, helping to calm and comfort sensitized or chapped lips.
• Glycerin — A classic emollient that works alongside hyaluronic acid and hydroxyethyl urea to attract and lock in moisture for sustained hydration throughout the day.

The Science Behind It

The dual-antioxidant complex of Vitamin E and Silymarin works synergistically to neutralize free radicals and soothe dry, irritated lips. A carefully balanced complex of humectants — including glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and hydroxyethyl urea — helps attract and retain water in the lip tissue, restoring volume and resilience. Special botanical emollients further hydrate and heal dehydrated lips, smoothing the appearance of deep lines for a visibly fuller, healthier result.

How to Use

Apply a light layer to lips daily as part of your morning and evening skincare routine. When using during the day, follow with a broad-spectrum lip sunscreen for added protection against UV-induced damage. Can be used alone or layered under lip colour for a hydrated, smooth base.
