5% PHA lip exfoliant clears dead skin and hydrates; best every other night.
What the community says
A 5% PHA serum designed to exfoliate dry, flaky lips gently while adding moisture. It's best used every other night with a balm sealant afterward to prevent dryness. Not for daily use or sensitive lip skin, as overuse may irritate.
