I read about the lips2kiss here on EDS and I was wondering if not the so called lipo-filler might be Kombucha? It's the only "lipo-filler" that comes up when you Google it.
***Would like to link here, but can't as I'm a new member. Google Kombuchka, it's on Dermatologytimes ***
On this page, it is called Kombuchka, but that´s just a trademarkname for Kombucha.
A Danish website on this yeast-mushroom-thingy recommends that you blend it into a pulp and use it as a masque to rejuvenate and plump up your skin. In the beginning the skin might peel, and it will achieve a rosy glow, as the Kombucha increases blood circulation, as part of the plumping effect.
DuWop also use it in their 'Reverse lipliner'.
I'm also wondering if there is glycolic acid in the Lips2Kiss, as this encourages collagen growth, when used in a fairly high concentration.
So, has anyone (...Carekate?) tried either or both?  |

| Just to clarify - I'm interested in the effects of applying Kombucha to your skin, not the drinking of Kambucha tea, which is supposed to taste ..eeehh.. not good. |

| Hi Lotte, and welcome! First of all, I have NO idea if the Lips2Kiss system includes kombucha, however, I do think that's it's very beneficial for the skin. I drink kombucha from time to time for its health and skin benefits, however, I also use a toner fromwww.bestbathstore.com that contains it, and I swear by it! It's helped my skin stay hydrated and radiant all winter. So, I definitely think that kombucha is a good ingredient, and I wish more skincare companies would use it. HTH! |

I just received a kombucha culture yesterday, and have begun brewing my own tea.
I have some glycolic in my bathroom cupboard.
Hmmm, what next?

Thanks for the info, Liz. Though no readymade skincare products with Kombucha are available throughout Scandinavia. So perhaps I need to start making my own Kombucha.
Catski, according to the Danish website, your Kombucha culture will eventually make baby-kombucha's  that you can transfer to new jars. Wait for them to grow to full size and then blend them in to a pulp. The yeast will go dormant and the pulp can be stored for several weeks. |

| Yes, I'm going to be awash with these things, if all goes well. |
