Advanced Formula

1. Is it better than Original? Not better, just different! While both glosses contain our exclusive collagen peptide formula, CITY Lips Advanced contains Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Plumping Spheres, while CITY Lips Original does not. HA is a natural moisturizing compound found in the body, and is known as nature’s “moisture magnet.” HA has the ability to attract and bind several times its weight in water, which contributes to the "instant plump" you feel when you apply CITY Lips Advanced, and is part of the super-moisturizing feeling you get from the treatment. HA also supports the formation and maintenance of collagen as it is generated by our exclusive collagen peptides. Some users report feeling a slight warming or tingling when applying CITY Lips Advanced, and this is usually due to your skin getting acclimated to the HA in CITY Lips Advanced. If you want a larger instant plump, CITY Lips Advanced may be the choice for you. 

2. What is Hyaluronic Acid? Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a natural moisturizing compound found in the body, and is known as nature’s “moisture magnet.” HA has the ability to attract and bind several times its weight in water, which contributes to the "instant plump" you feel when you apply CITY Lips Advanced, and is part of the super-moisturizing feeling you get from the treatment. HA also supports the formation and maintenance of collagen as it is generated by our exclusive collagen peptides. Some users report feeling a slight warming or tingling when applying CITY Lips Advanced, and this is usually due to your skin getting acclimated to the HA in CITY Lips Advanced.

3. Why is it sticky? CITY Lips Advanced is a thicker gloss, due primarily to the presence of HA Plumping Spheres. The weighty formula can be applied in a thin layer and will remain on the lips, delivering all the benefits of collagen peptides and HA Plumping Spheres without disappearing. Many users love the thicker formula because so many luxury colored lip glosses are formulated to be thick for a high-shine, moisturized, lacquered look. If you are uncomfortable with the weight of the formula, you may want to consider wearing CITY Lips Original (which is thinner and not "sticky") during the day under lipstick and CITY Lips Advanced at night before bed. 

4. Does the Clear work better than colors? Whether Original or Advanced, CITY Lips colored glosses all contain the exact same formula as the Clear gloss. CITY Lips in colors allow you to keep the collagen formula and moisture benefits on your lips at all times while enjoying gorgeous colors that enhance your beauty!
