“Give the Lip Peel 15 to 30 seconds to absorb before you apply the Lip Baste. If you are wearing lip color, apply a thick layer of Baste, leave it on for 10 minutes, then dab off the excess before your lipstick goes on.”

FAQs

What's the difference between Lip Baste and a regular lip balm?

It repairs, not just coats.

Dr. Shereene Idriss, MD

Most balms sit on top and wear off. Lip Baste has ceramides to rebuild your lip barrier, squalane to keep moisture from escaping and shea butter to soften, so your lips actually heal instead of just feeling better for a minute.

We recommend giving the Lip Peel 15 to 30 seconds to absorb into your lips before applying the Lip Baste.

Yes. AHAs like mandelic acid in the Lip Peel can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. We always recommend applying an SPF 30+ anywhere you've used AHAs the night before.

If you have an active cold sore, avoid using exfoliating acids and do not use anything with an applicator until it has healed. If you have a history of cold sores, we suggest consulting your dermatologist prior to use; chemical exfoliants can potentially trigger cold sores in people prone to them.

Plain occlusives only seal. Lip Baste seals while supporting the lip barrier, and it's designed to pair with Lip Peel so your lips actually repair the look of chapping rather than just coating it.

The Lip Baste contains no added artificial fragrance. What you taste is peppermint oil, which gives it a subtle natural minty flavor over the buttery shea and squalane base. If yours tastes genuinely harsh or off rather than lightly minty, that's not normal, so reach out to hello@dridriss.com and we'll sort it out.

Vegan, yes. Lanolin, no.

No SPF in this one. In daytime sun, layer a lip product with SPF on top or reapply sunscreen to your lips.

It's a barrier balm, not a plumper. Well-hydrated lips often look fuller, but there's no tingling plumping agent in it.
