Overview
A tinted lip serum from NIDA in a 0.25 oz travel size, combining retinal, a multi-molecular hyaluronic acid complex, and plant-derived peptides for a glossy, plumped finish in a sheer rosy fig tint.
Retinal is a step further along the vitamin A family than standard retinol, and here it is paired with oat, wheat and soybean peptides rather than sold as a bare retinoid, positioning this as a nourishing gloss with an active ingredient rather than a clinical treatment product. The sheer rosy fig tint means it also functions as a light lip color, not just a treatment serum.
- Retinal (vitamin A) formula
- Hyaluronic acid complex
- Oat, wheat and soybean peptides
- Sheer rosy fig tint
Who it's for
Suited to people who want a tinted lip gloss with hydrating and plumping ingredients built in. Not intended for anyone needing a heavy pigment lip product, since the tint is described as sheer.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Retinal and multi-molecular hyaluronic acid complex
- Plumping and nourishing benefits
- Travel size at 0.25 oz
- Glossy sheer tint finish
- Tint is sheer, not built for full opaque coverage
Performance notes
The multi-molecular hyaluronic acid complex is included to hold moisture at different depths of the lip surface, while the peptide blend and retinal target the nourishing and plumping benefits listed. The glossy finish comes from the serum base rather than a wax-heavy formula, and the product is noted as not heat sensitive.
