Thanks, Cathy Jean and Rubby. I think the color is looking good and they are definitely much fuller than when I started!
I am liking the obagi quite a bit, Rubby. It is getting rid of a lot of my freckles, but I still have 3 1/2 months to go! I will see how the Retin A works on wrinkles, as well as the Neocutis my nurse has me on. |

| Rileygirl, Thanks for sharing your photos! Your lips look fantastic! They are so much fuller and supple looking. I also think since in the last 30 days you have a more defined upper lip line. Did you get any feedback from Kandis? |

Thank you Charis. Sorry, I did mean to let you know what she said! Here are her thoughts on my lips:
As you're looking at your monitor, look above your lip, on our right (your actual left) and you can see that the lines are becoming less noticeable, indicating that we're successfully stopping the pulling of your underlying lip tissues. You have developed a beautiful upper lip line, or vermillion border as it is called. You're coming along great! |

| Thanks Rileygirl - you are coming along great! I had also noticed that those lines were lessening - that is great! |

I haven't had a chance to read through all 64 pages of this thread, but I did click randomly and saw some amazing results.
I just wanted to ask though, does the glaze you're supposed to put on every 20 minutes sufficiently cover the look of those dry lips? I would hate for my lips to LOOK dry and peely, so will the glaze act like a polish?
Thanks! |

| Kareberry, Yes the glaze makes your lips look and feel really good. If you get the colored glaze for the day, then you will have color in addition to the moisture. In the beginning (at least for me) my lips absorbed the glaze really fast, so that's why you have to put it on so often. Now I can't imagine putting any other product on my lips - they feel so much better! |

Kareberry--- everyone's lips react differently, however, I have been experiencing extreme peeling on and off. On the worst days, I have patches of dead skin just sitting on my lips, so they end up looking pretty chapped no matter how much glaze I apply. It's kind of a pain, esp. when I have to go out in public, however, I'm looking forward to getting it over with so I can enjoy nice lips! |

| Everyone's lips do react differently. I know some have reported lots of peeling while others have none at all. I did not not experience any visible peeling - I was surprised because my lips were in pretty bad shape. It does have an exfoliator which will help with peeling but you may go through a period of it like others have. |

I've been using L2K since mid-May and I'm astonished at the improvements  I don't think I'll ever wear anything else ever again! I had the minutest bit of peeling after about a week, but none since. I noticed the most improvement to my bottom lip, but also my "cupid's bow" is also more pronounced than it was before the system. I'd post pics, but unfortunately they didn't come out as clear as some who have already posted. I love the coloured NG's for daytime and best of all I love how my lips feel.
Rileygirl, your lips look fabulous - you've certainly come a long way  |

Oh, what the heck, here they are, from Day 0 to Day 90. Like I said they're not that clear.

Rileygirl, your lips continue to do beautifully with this system.
Anya, I'm glad you posted pics. Your lip progression is quite dramatic!

Hey girls! I finally made myself start the system... I've been having it stuffed in my drawer for a little while because I was too overwhelmed to use that routine.. ahh. But thanks to everyones posts I've been reading I finally made myself do it. This upcoming Saturday will make two weeks... I don't have any changes yet of course.. but I hope they come sooooon! By the way, some info about me... I'm a very young user, only 19, so of course I'm only using the system to plump up my lips. (My top lip is smaller than my bottom... as most people. But I don't like the size differences.) I'm hoping because of my age I will get quick results, but knowing my luck I probably won't, haha. I will keep ya'll posted! I took a before pic, so if I notice any difference at my 30 day mark I'll be sure to post some before and afters.  |

Your lips look amazing ... very beautiful! There's a big difference in both, but it looks like especially in your upper lip. Congrats!

Thanks Cathy . I really want that upper lip to be as full as the lower one - some days it looks better than others.
I've just emailed Kandis enquiring if I'm using too much product since if I don't apply every 30 minutes, my lips are screaming at me.as if they're starved .
Does anyone else have that feeling, or is it just me  |

Yes, we all have (had) that feeling during the first few months on the system. You should really apply your LC/NG/NG/NG (or LG/NG/NG/NG) every 15-20 minutes during the first several weeks/months.
BTW - great progress so far Anya. I think you've already achieved great plumping of both lips. |

Thanks so much Rubby, both for the compliment and your assurance The rotation I've been using is:
NC/LG/NG followed by NG/NG/NG every 30 minutes approx. then repeat. I'm not using any ULLE/LE on my lips at all. Glad to hear tho, that the "parched feeling" is normal. |

| Waffle, Aries, Rubby, and other ladies who peeled A LOT, when did you stop peeling so much? I've been on the system for a month now, and my lips have been peeling non-stop. It drives me a bit crazy, but I'm hanging in there. I'd be glad to know how long the peeling went on for everyone else. |

| I never had major peeling for days on end, but I still go through spurts of peeling for a day or 2 and I have been on 90+ days now (3 more weeks and I will have been on the L2K for 4 months!) Are you applying the products often, manslayerliz, and also exfoliating only a few times a week? |

I've been on the system for over 4 months and I've only peeled 3 times I think and only for a day each time. I was hoping I'd peel more because I thought that would speed up the rejuvenation process, but things still seem to be on track, so I guess the amount of peeling is different for everyone. |
