Estee Lauder’s Correcting Concentrate for lips is an anti-age product geared to filling in those nasty fine lines that appear around the lip area. It was launched sometime in 2005 as part of the Perfectionist line.
It comes in a pen sized applicator, which means it’s handy enough to carry in your purse or pocket.
The great thing about this product is that even though it says lip corrector, it works fantastic on those fine lines around the eyes, between the brows and your forehead.
How it works
Estee Lauder claims that due to its revolutionary Perfectionist BioSync Complex strengthens the skin and amplifies its natural collagen levels. The reason behind this is that their Bio-Sync comples is said to reactivate the protein Integrin. Integrin among other things is responsible for determining the cell cycle. This protein naturally decreases as we age. I don’t know how true the product claims are, but I do know that visually there is a dramatic improvement from the first use.
How to use
Prior to applying your moisturizer, all you need to do is twist the pen to have some of the product come out. Then go around the lip area filling in those fine lines. I also use this product around my eye area for those nagging fine lines that have started to appear.
Ingredients
One of the great things about Estee Lauder is they are on Peta’s cruelty free makeup up list. Their products are not tested on animals.
Among the many ingredients I can’t pronounce or spell, there are also many natural ingredients that are in this product. There is both Cocoa butter and shea butter which are highly moisturizing. Avocado oil is another ingredient which helps to calm, sooth and soften skin. This is probably why it glides on so smoothly on the skin.
Overall Thoughts
I love this product, it is reasonable priced at approximately $34.50 for 2.5ml (or .08oz). Now you may think that 2.5ml is a very small amount of product, however one pen used daily lasts at least two months if your using it only in the lip area. I would recommend this product to anyone who wanted to disguise their fine lines.
