How does the plumping work?

Methyl nicotinate increases blood flow to the lips, which causes the tingle and a temporary fuller look. The effect fades after a while.

Is the tingle painful?

Most people feel a mild to moderate tingle that settles within minutes. Those with sensitive lips may find it strong, so patch test first.

The jojoba and castor oil base plus candelilla wax gives a glossy finish that is not heavily tacky. It is a serum, not a thick gloss.

Yes. It works as a glossy topper, though the strawberry flavor and tingle apply to whatever it touches.

One tube of strawberry-flavored lip plumping serum with a built-in applicator. The DSL line also comes in Cherry, Cupcake, Mint and Watermelon.

Anyone with sensitive or reactive skin, or a known reaction to niacin derivatives, should skip methyl nicotinate plumpers.
