RéVive Lip & Perioral Renewal Cream ($115)
Leave it to a plastic surgeon (from Louisville, Kentucky, no less) to figure out how to turn dry, lined, freaked-out winter lips into smooth succulent little petals of infinitely pink softness.
Sorry. I couldn’t help myself. This airy-light cream in a pump did just that for my lips. It’s incredible. It’s also incredibly expensive. But a little dab’ll do ya. Dr. Gregory Bays Brown started his skin care line in 1997 for his patients. The idea was to create products to postpone surgery and/or enhance post-op skin. The products took off, thanks to Brown’s discovery of EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor)—the so-called youth molecule—a naturally occurring protein that dramatically increases skin cell renewal.
This treatment cream actually builds resilience to damage created by dryness. And those unfortunate vertical wrinkles around and on the lips? See ya. The way your lipstick can bleed out? Buh-bye!
