6 lip gloss options with hyaluronic acid for a super hydrated mouth

Angelina Jolie, Megan Fox, Kim Kardashian are references of hydrated, plump and sexy lips, a trending pattern these days. If these are the features you are looking for, makeup tricks, lip balms and contouring techniques have already entered your makeup routine. Add in it, too, the gloss with hyaluronic acid!

What is lip gloss with hyaluronic acid used for?

In addition to giving volume to the lips, the gloss with hyaluronic acid also promises to hydrate the region. According to dermatologist Simone Stringhini (CRM 52534680), this is the substance’s main function: hydration. “Hyaluronic acid is a neutral molecule that exists in our body for the purpose of hydration and collagen stimulation. So much so that there are several serums, creams with hyaluronic acid in the composition that have no side effect for the skin”, explains the professional.

The acid works by filling in the creases of the lips, outlining the contour and giving the sensation that the mouth has swollen. It also improves the appearance of the region, eliminating dryness. However, there are several types of hyaluronic acid that directly interfere with the expected result. This is the difference between topical use and lip fillers.

“The filling is made with croslinked hyaluronic acid”, explains Simone, “there are several hyaluronic acid molecules with bridges between them, as if it were a string, constituting a true network. So that makes the gel dense and prevents degradation by hyaluronidase.”

Gloss is the opposite. According to the dermatologist, its particles are small, penetrate easily, but are destroyed by the body more quickly. Because of this, its effect is temporary. That is, its volumizing effect is unable to reproduce a lip fill.

Are swelling and burning common?

Some bloggers have reported burning, redness and swelling of the lips and surrounding skin during the first few minutes of action of products that promised to add volume to the lips. In some cases, it was impossible to keep the gloss for the indicated time. Simone Stringhini warns:

“It is necessary to understand what this irritating substance is, which was purposely placed in the product to stimulate swelling in the lips and is causing this redness.” Simone reaffirms that hyaluronic acid does not behave this way and reiterates: “we should not insist on the product if you have any allergic reaction. If the irritation is very severe, see your dermatologist.”

How to use lip gloss with hyaluronic acid

The indication of the brands is to pass the gloss from the middle to the sides, on the lower and upper lips, following the natural contour of the lips. It takes approximately 5 minutes to take effect, but the time may vary by brand. The gloss can be used before or after the lipstick and reapplied whenever you want.
