I am currently using the SC Antioxidant Lip Repair and love it. It is very hydrating and has a nice texture. It keeps my lips soft during winter months. But it's not a plumper so my lips are pale. I don't necessarily need the plumping effect, yet - thank goodness, with the HA pills.

My question is, can I get the same results with the PSF product as I do with my SC PLUS a little boost in color? I love PSF and the chocolate sounds so yummy.

I personally like the SC better even though I've only been using it for a couple of days now. The moisture seems to last a lot longer although the chocolate taste of the PSF is great! I don't really notice color improvement with either, at least not at this point with the SC.

Me, too. Much as I love our boy Darren, I really wasn't thrilled with the lip plumping abilities of the PSF plumper although it makes a nice lip balm. ETA: Didn't experience any boosting of my natural lip color either. Sad

Also, I just finished a sample of the Revive Lip and Periordal blah, blah product (the stuff that costs $125) and have to say that I was completely underwhelmed! I much prefer my Skinceuticals Lip Repair. In fact, to me, the only difference between the two is that the Revive contains a chemical exfoliant ingredient which I found completely unnecessary because I already use my own homemade lip scrub every morning to exfoliate my lips. I'd much rather pay $30 for my Skinceuticals Lip Repair on Ebay and save the remaining $95 bucks to fool around with other products or buy more ingredients with which to make more magic potions in my "laboratory"!

I've been using the revive lip stuff as well for about 8 days now, it definately hasn't plumped up my lips, but what it has done is define my lip line more (although the HA does that all by itself as well) and the vertical wrinkles are greatly reduced. I can't find anywhere on revives website or on the product where it is for plumping (although I know a review by someone raved about that ability) it is mainly for lips and skin above and below for the reduction of lip lines, and I must say it is deliverying on that !! Yea. So I am sticking with the HA for plumping (nothing I've tried has delivered plumping as the HA does)!!

So would you purchase a full size of the Revive? Out of curiosity, have you tried the Skinceuticals Antioxidant Lip Repair because it provides the same results you indicated with the Revive but it’s a helluva lot cheaper. Another product you might want to try to help define and repair the lip contour area would be Isomers Lip Firming Serum (click here: Isomers Lip Firming Serum: http://www.shopnbc.com/product/?familyid=C17300&storeid=1&track=-20101)

Here is what they have to say about both products on MUA:

Hi Caretake,
No I havent tried skinceuticals lip repair, but I am definately willing too. Prior to hearing of a cheaper version, yes I would of bought a full size, I still have a few samples to go thru, but the results have made me a happy girl. I have tried isomers and found nothing even after 2 bottles, I for quiet a bit used her entire line, I thought it was great till I ran out and moved on to try diff stuff, I never went back when I saw no change to my skin by NOT using them. She claims to be so inexpensive but when you add up needing 8 bottles of her stuff to complete her line it gets quiet costly for ingredients most now have. I am def not slamming isomers, I just think the money(she has come down a bit now and is doing more kits than before) for her products adds up to the same as these super costly products. I am so wanting to find a line and just be in love with it, yea I know good luck me huh.

P.S. my biggest concern about aging is around my mouth, my problems arent huge but I def don't want them becoming so, so thanks for the tip, I will try it and compair, I am all for saving money!!!

Ok bad me, I did this backwards, I replied then read the reviews you supplied. Ok quick question, you said you use this for ur actually lips and just a tad outward, what I am loving about the revive product is it is not only for your lips but for the skin above and below, and since the HA I am happy with lips themselves what I want to ward off is the start of vertical lines. Would this work for those as well? I do love the $30.00 versus 115.00 price.

Thank you so much to all of you for the wonderful feedback. This board certainly helps me avoid wasting money on the ok stuff when I could be spending it on the WOW stuff!

Yes, I apply the Skinceuticals to my lips and around the "perimeter" of my mouth and it does help with firming and minimizing those "feather" lines.

I work in IT, developing software requirements and sometimes writing training manuals, so let’s see how good I am at it:

To quote from a previous poster:

• in the ‘frame’ surrounding the post from which you want to comment, there is a “Quote” button at the upper-right of the frame;

• Click the “Quote” button and a “Post a Reply” dialogue box will appear with the text from the person’s post that you selected to quote and it will appear like this:

[quote=”MelissaMarie”]...Blah, blah, blah...Yak, yak, yak....Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.[/quote]

You begin trying your response immediately following the “[/quote]” formatting code and then “Preview” or “Submit” the post as usual:

[quote=”MelissaMarie”]...Blah, blah, blah...Yak, yak, yak....Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.[/quote]I am typing my reply here.

If desired, you can cut and paste from that person’s quote so that only the relevant portion remains within the formatting codes:

Does that help?!

I purchased the PSF plumper a while back and I'm not impressed at all. It does not plump the lips and in fact I find it quite drying. So far there's nothing out there that beats LF and the HA/Collagen pills for plumping. I've not tried Skinceuticals for the lines above my lips, however daily use of JB Skin Prep and Alphaderma CE has reduced them considerably.

okay, I'm reviving this. Has anyone with really dry lips used the Skinceuticals Anti-oxidant lip repair??

I don't think it'll help, but I'll send you a sample of it to test out when I send your next batch of stuff....

Thanks for replying, CareKate and for offering to send me some. I'm still struggling with dry lips issue and still looking for my lip HG. Of course, if I stopped licking my lips that would help... Embarassed

I purchased the Skincueticals Lip Repair today from ebay. I wasn't happy with the new TNS lip system, so I'm going to give this a go.

I decided to try the SS antioxidant lip repair!
I combined a tiny bit of the stuff with a drop of Dremu oil and wala! Moisture,plumping action, exfoliation, got it all! I tried the Emu alone and the SS lip repair alone but neither worked as well alone! Hope this helps the dry aging lip people out there!

I asked PSF about the lip plumper recently as I had seen it on EDS forums but not on the site or on the PSF site. They said they hadn't sold it for about a year as they had withdrawn it and are working on an improved version.

I'm using Lips2Kiss Spa Kit and it's working wonders on repairing my lips! Smile
