1. Apply a small, pea-sized amount to clean, dry lips. 2. Gently pat and blend with your fingertip until the serum transforms from its berry-tinted balm into a clear, melting finish. 3. Use daily, ideally in the morning as part of your skincare routine and before applying any other lip color. For best results, users recommend a second application in the evening. Timeline Expectations: Week 1: Lips feel instantly smoother and more hydrated; subtle tint provides a 'my-lips-but-better' look.

Born from Kose's 70+ years of Japanese skincare science, this formula was created for those who feel their lips have lost their youthful fullness due to modern stress and environmental factors. Our researchers in Tokyo developed the unique 'Melting Serum' texture after analyzing thousands of customer reviews asking for a plumping treatment that felt weightless, not sticky. Every ingredient, from the precise blend of Japanese berry extracts to the patented plumping complex, is selected for purity and backed by clinical data from our in-house testing facilities, which hold Japan's stringent GMP certification. Since its launch, it has consistently ranked as a top-selling lip treatment in its category across major Japanese beauty retailers, trusted for delivering visible results without compromise.

The Kose Blend Berry Lip Balloon - Plumping & Tinted Melting Lip Serum incorporates a carefully curated blend of ingredients designed to enhance lip appearance and health. Key components include hyaluronic acid, which deeply hydrates by attracting and retaining moisture, resulting in a fuller, smoother lip surface. Berry extracts, such as raspberry and strawberry, provide natural antioxidants to protect against environmental damage while imparting a subtle tint. Peptides are included to stimulate collagen production, promoting long-term lip plumping and reducing fine lines. Additionally, shea butter and jojoba oil offer emollient properties to soften and condition the lips, preventing dryness and chapping. The formulation also features menthol or similar cooling agents to create a temporary plumping effect through mild irritation, enhancing volume perception. These ingredients work synergistically to deliver immediate hydration and color, along with cumulative benefits like improved lip texture and resilience, making it suitable for daily use to achieve a youthful, vibrant look.
