What is City Lips?
It’s an innovative collagen-peptide lip plumping treatment that delivers instant moisture, enhances natural lip color, and makes lips incredibly soft and hydrated. City Lips’ exclusive Oligopeptide and Celadrin™ technology increases lip size safely and painlessly by stimulating lips to produce their own collagen and hyaluronic acid. Oligopeptides and Celadrin™ are the only ingredients that repair and build collagen while visibly reducing the lip wrinkles caused by free radical damage. With each use, City Lips makes lips visibly fuller, reduces and decreases the appearance of lip lines.
Winner of multiple lip plumper product tests conducted by Good Housekeeping Magazine ®. “We found that the CITY Lips lip plumper plumped people’s lips an average of 3 millimeters.” Karen Rauen, Chemistry Director, Good Housekeeping Institute.
Key Benefits and Ingredients:
CITY Lips is different than any other lip plumper on the market because it actually builds the collagen in your lips for long term plumping results. You will get an instant plump with each application, plus you will activate collagen production in your lips and build volume with continued use.

Product Q and A:
How many times a day should you apply CITY Lips to achieve the long term effect? Is one time before bedtime enough?
Apply the treatment a minimum of once a day. Long-term results will be seen as quickly as 15 days with continued use. City Lips is safe to use as often as desired.
*For best results, we suggest applying the treatment at night because this is when the body is rejuvenating and repairing cells. It also is less likely to be rubbed off by talking, eating, drinking etc. You will wake up to plump, intensely hydrated youthful lips!
After the suggested 30 days, how often do you recommend applying CITY Lips to maintain the long term effect?
We suggest using the treatment once daily to maintain the maximum results. For best results apply the treatment before bedtime.
How long does the instant effect last?
The original formula offers instant plumping from an ingredient called Benzyl Nicotinate (a niacin derivative) –this ingredient safely stimulates blood circulation in the lips and naturally enhances the color of them. This effect lasts for about one hour.
Can I wear the treatment over my lip stick?
For best results, apply City Lips to the lips before your lips stick to allow the treatment to be absorbed most effectively.
I don't understand the long-term effect. I understand that the natural collagen is stimulated and that there is one ingredient to reduce the break down of collagen. Does this help build up more collagen in your lips than you would have if you didn't use CITY Lips?
Yes that is correct, the reason you build more collagen is due to the peptides activation of the natural collagen production. The peptides in City Lips trick the cells to think there is damage to the skin and activates collagen production. Celadrin® stops the body from breaking down this newly formed collagen allowing the build-up
Can I use City Lips if I am pregnant?
Yes, City Lips is safe to use while pregnant or nursing.
see the difference? This $32 lip plumper is really worth it. Makes my lip plumps and healthy giving me years younger lips but I hate the fact that it didnt solve the peeling of my lower lips the result is not that dramatic. Plus for those people who have sensitive lips like me may feel a tingling sensation when applied and may see redness outside the lip but will only last for like a week .I really find it scary T.T
PROS:
-Increases lip volime, I could see the effect of this because it makes my lip swell
- Makes my lips look younger . it soften and moisture my lips. I dont even have to use lip balms or so whatever every morning.
- Light weight and not sticky not like the other 2 plumpers.
CONS:
- Expensive
_available only n their stores
- Does not solve the peeling on my upper lips
-Thise who have senstiive lips like mine may see slight tingling and redness for a week.
CONCLUSION:
This good housekeeping recommended lip plumper is really great and effective. Sensitive lips may avoid this one or maybe try it for yourself the tingling sensation will only last for a week and may try the healthy lips that I have now. I would give this a 3 out of 5

still lots of plumpers on the market such as maxolip, fusion xl, venom.... is this really better than the rest... why did the test not include the new advanced formula?
ReplyDeleteHi doctorhaus, Goodhousekeeping recommends this lip plumper. Of course, there are many lip plumpers out there but we dont know if they are effective and cheap. I guess, we just have to try different plumpers.
