Beyond seasonal changes, your dry lips may also be a side effect of certain medications, like antihistamines (common if you have allergies) or isotretinoin (used for severe acne), explains Meghan Feely, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist who serves as a clinical instructor at Mount Sinai’s Department of Dermatology. “If you have chapped lips, itchy or sore lips, or even reddened lips, you might have a problem that needs a little more care,” says Dr. Amin.

The aged epidermis is less active and less responsive than the young epidermis, not by cellular age and content of the ECMbut by reduced neuronal systems.’’ The theory behind synthesizing this neuropeptide is to simulate the neuronal system of the skinand get specific results that Leu-enkephalin theoretically gets, such as wound-healingand skin regulation. These are the results of the manufacturer of this ingredient: SH-Octapeptide-4 significantly increased collagen content per fibroblast cell for 48 hrs + Treatment of neuropeptide-1, 30ppm for 48 hrs to fibroblast significantly reduced MMP-9 (degrades extracellular matrix ECM proteins and is overexpressed when the skin is sun-damaged for example) expression up to 37.6% related to anti-wrinkle effect + feeling of improvement of wrinkle reduction (274%), skin moisture (198%), and skin texture (318%) [ SOURCE].

Note that three of the hues (Ritual, Amen, and Soul), contain sesame oil, which is a common allergen, so avoid those shades if you have a sensitivity to the ingredient.
