Directions from packaging:

Step One: Clear, fast-absorbing gel rolls on smoothly to immediately plump lips naturally and safely by increasing circulation through the use of vasodilators. Advanced technology allows for increased penetration of active ingredients which move water into lip area through osmosis. Lips are immediately plumped, hydrated and softened. Other key natural extracts reduce fine lines and wrinkles, smooth skin and improve lip contour. Dries quickly to allow application of next step. Step Two: The immediate plumping effect is embellished through this rich, emollient moisturizing cream containing Hyaluronic Filling Spheres that bind the body's own water. With continued use, a sustained plumping effect is achieved through Vitamin C, peptides and antioxidants which boost the body's own natural collagen production. Appearance of fine lines and wrinkles are reduced while lip definition is enhanced. Lipids and ceramides smooth and rehydrate skin.
