For many, getting the perfect full set of lips is an iconic beauty standard that they aspire to. Undergoing much surgery and invasive techniques to achieve this look. At the same time, many individuals would like the perfect pout without drastically or permanently changing their appearance. For those, the beauty industry has given rise to the development of lip plumpers. In this review, we will be discussing SkinMedica HA5 Smooth and Plump Lip System, a two-step treatment that claims that it can smooth and hydrate the lips and that it is suitable for all skin types – enhancing color and leaving them looking voluminous.
Ingredients
HA5 Lip Smooth Ingredients
- Dimethicone
- HDI/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer
- Glycerin
- Butylene Glycol
- Polysilicon- 11
In our research, we did notice that this product contained predominantly chemically derived ingredients. Dimethicone is a smoothing, silicone polymer that could aggravate acne according to some findings. HDI/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer is another artificial polymer that is included for its smoothening abilities. Glycerin is used across many industries but would have been added to this product as a moisturizer. Butylene Glycol is an alcohol, which acts as a solvent in cosmetics. While Polysilicone- 11 is a film-forming agent that would add to the smooth appearance of the lips.
Other ingredients in this lip smoothening product include; Water, Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Bis-PEG-8 Dimethicone, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Flower Cell Extract, Vibrio Alginolyticus Ferment Filtrate, Alteromonas Ferment Extract, Porphyridium Cruentum Extract, Whey Protein, Plankton Extract, Trehalose, Urea, Serine, Algin, Caprylyl Glycol, Pullulan, Disodium Phosphate, Potassium Phosphate, Pentylene Glycol, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Glyceryl Polyacrylate, Sodium Citrate, Sea Water, Sucrose Palmitate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Hydroxyacetophenone, Polysorbate 60, Propanediol, Potassium Sorbate, Citric Acid, Isohexadecane, Polysorbate 80, Silica, Decyl Glucoside, Tromethamine, Ethylhexylglycerin, Phenoxyethanol, Disodium EDTA.

Our Conclusive Review About SkinMedica HA5 Smooth and Plump Lip System
In conclusion of this review for HA5 Smooth and Plump Lip System, we liked that this product has a two-in-one application and that it is apparently suited to all skin types. However, the high volume of artificial ingredients, lack of useful information and returns policy raised some red flags.
