Colorescience Peptide Lip Shine SPF 30 - 4 ml

Colorescience Peptide Lip Shine SPF 30 - 4 ml is a nourishing lip gloss treatment with Maxi-Lip peptides, Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin E and all-mineral Zinc Oxide 7.8% SPF 30 PA+++ for visibly plumper, smoother and sun-protected lips

Colorescience Peptide Lip Shine SPF 30 is the upgraded lip treatment formula from Colorescience, the US dermocosmetic brand specialised in 100% mineral sun protection. It combines a conditioning gloss with a true lip treatment: Maxi-Lip peptides (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1) support collagen and elastin for a smoother, more plumped appearance, Sodium Hyaluronate hydrates from within, Vitamin E defends against free radicals and Zinc Oxide 7.8% delivers broad-spectrum SPF 30 PA+++ protection. Water resistant for 40 minutes, in a 4 ml applicator tube. Hypoallergenic, paraben-free, sulfate-free, phthalate-free, gluten-free and cruelty-free.

Maxi-Lip peptides - the plumping treatment heart of the formula

Maxi-Lip (used under authorization of Sederma) is built around Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, a signal peptide that supports the natural production of collagen and elastin in the delicate skin of the lips. The result: lips look smoother, fuller and better defined, both immediately and with continued use. Compared to the previous Lip Shine formula, the new treatment contains twice the concentration of peptides for visibly enhanced plumping and deep surface moisturisation - without needles, without tingling agents and without irritation.

Zinc Oxide 7.8% - pure mineral SPF 30 PA+++ protection

The skin on the lips is thin, has little melanin and is one of the areas most exposed to UV damage and photoaging. Peptide Lip Shine uses Zinc Oxide 7.8% as its only sunscreen active: a physical mineral filter that reflects UVA and UVB rays at the surface. Benefits over chemical filters: immediate protection on application, excellent tolerance on sensitive lips, no systemic absorption concerns, and a stable PA+++ UVA rating that helps prevent visible signs of aging. The formula is water and sweat resistant for 40 minutes.

Hyaluronic Acid + Vitamin E - hydration and antioxidant defense

Sodium Hyaluronate binds water within the lip surface, giving a plump, cushioned look and helping to smooth fine vertical lines. Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) is a lipophilic antioxidant that protects the lipid barrier of the lips against free radical damage caused by sun, wind and cold. Together they keep lips soft, supple and comfortable throughout the day - the gloss feels cushiony, never sticky or drying.

Shades and finish

A sheer wash of colour with a luminous, glossy finish - buildable from subtle to elegant:

• Rose - soft mauve with subtle shimmer
• Coral - warm peachy tone with golden shimmer
• Pink - vibrant classic pink
• Champagne - neutral beige-pink, flattering on all skin tones

The producer range also includes seasonal and limited-edition shades such as Savanna, Plum and Guava.

Key benefits

• Plumps and smooths - Maxi-Lip peptides support collagen and elastin, now with 2x the peptide concentration
• Broad-spectrum SPF 30 PA+++ - all-mineral Zinc Oxide 7.8%, immediate protection
• Deep hydration - Hyaluronic Acid binds water for fuller-looking lips
• Antioxidant defense - Vitamin E protects against free radical damage
• Water resistant 40 minutes - holds through sweat and light swimming
• Treatment + makeup in one - sheer colour and shine with real skincare actives
• Clean profile - hypoallergenic, paraben-free, sulfate-free, phthalate-free, gluten-free, cruelty-free

Who is it for

• anyone who wants daily SPF protection for the lips - an area most people forget to protect
• lips showing fine vertical lines, dryness or loss of volume
• patients after lip fillers or perioral procedures who want to maintain results (once healing is complete)
• people seeking a plumping gloss without irritating tingle agents
• outdoor activities, holidays, skiing, beach - reapplicable sun protection in your pocket

How to use

Apply liberally to the lips 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply at least every 2 hours for continued sun protection, and immediately after 40 minutes of swimming or sweating or after towel drying. Wear it alone for a treatment gloss look, or layer it over lip liner or Color Balm SPF 50 for customised colour with double mineral protection. Reapply as often as you like for colour and shine - the formula is designed for frequent use.

What changed vs the classic Lip Shine SPF 35

• 2x peptides - visibly stronger plumping and smoothing effect
• More moisturising surface feel with the same cushiony gloss texture
• Zinc Oxide increased from 6.6% to 7.8% - rating now SPF 30 PA+++ (previously SPF 35 PA++++), same 40-minute water resistance
• same beloved shades - Rose, Coral, Pink, Champagne - now in the treatment formula

According to Colorescience, the classic Lip Shine SPF 35 remains safe and effective to finish - the new formula simply enhances the treatment benefits.

Combine it with the Colorescience mineral routine

For complete mineral sun protection, pair Peptide Lip Shine SPF 30 with Sunforgettable Total Protection Color Balm SPF 50 (apply the balm first, then the gloss on top - the layering recommended by Colorescience), Total Protection Face Shield Flex SPF 50 as the daily face sunscreen, Total Protection No-Show Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 for an invisible finish, and Tint Du Soleil Whipped Foundation SPF 30 for mineral coverage with sun protection.
