Vertical lip lines

Small vertical lines above the lip, sometimes called "barcode lines."

Vertical lip lines

Understanding it

Vertical lines above the lip form with volume and collagen loss, and with repeated mouth movements: drinking through straws, smoking, talking. They often make lipstick bleed.

The causes

What causes it

01

Volume and collagen loss

02

Smoking and using straws

03

Sun exposure

Our approach

We use a very soft product in small amounts to soften the lines without weighing down the lip. Skin boosters hydrate the skin around the mouth for a smoother, longer-lasting result.
