The skin on the lips is noticeably thinner and more delicate than the rest of the face, making it more prone to dryness, flaking and early signs of ageing. The Obagi Lip Therapy AHA+PHA Smoothing Micro-Peel combines three exfoliating acids: glycolic acid, lactic acid and polyhydroxy acid (PHA). Together, they help remove dead skin cells and stimulate cell renewal without the need for physical scrubbing.
Glycolic and lactic acids, both AHAs, work on the surface layer of the lips to refine texture, while PHA provides gentler exfoliation and helps attract moisture, making the formula suitable for more sensitive lip tissue. Sodium hyaluronate helps plump the lips by attracting moisture to the outer skin layers and preventing moisture loss during exfoliation.
With regular use, the lip area appears visibly smoother and fuller, with a more even-looking tone and reduced visibility of fine lines.
