Description
Torriden’s SOLID-IN line focuses on strengthening the feel of a healthy skin barrier, and this lip essence brings that idea to one of the driest areas of the face. The brand describes it as a moisturizing lip essence designed to soothe and smooth dry, chapped-feeling lips with five types of ceramides.
The texture sits between a balm and a gloss: cushiony and glossy, but without the sticky pull of many lip treatments. It can be worn alone during the day, under lipstick, or as a thick overnight lip mask.
Key ingredients
- Five ceramides – ceramide NP, NS, AS, EOP and AP.
- Plant oils and butter – jojoba seed oil, shea butter, macadamia, olive and baobab seed oils.
- Sodium hyaluronate and panthenol – for softness and comfort.
- Petrolatum – an occlusive that helps reduce moisture loss.
How to use
- Apply directly to the lips with the applicator, or take a small amount on a fingertip.
- Reapply through the day as needed.
- For overnight care, apply a thick layer before bed as a lip mask.
Who it suits
Suitable for anyone with dry or flaky-feeling lips, including those with sensitive lips. Particularly useful in cold, windy Canadian winters.
Good to know
Size: 11 ml. The listing describes it as free of artificial colours and fragrance. Do not use on cracked or bleeding lips; see a health professional if dryness persists.
As with any new skincare product, patch-test on a small area (for example behind the ear or along the jaw) for 24–48 hours before using it on the whole face. Stop using it if redness, itching or stinging persists, and avoid applying it to broken or irritated skin. Always check the full ingredient list on the packaging you receive, as formulas can be updated by the brand.
