What the gurus are saying

This serum earns praise for its warming tingle and plumping results, particularly for those who enjoy active treatments. Gurus found it smooths fine lines and brightens skin, though the noticeable tingle is not for everyone, those sensitive to warming actives or who already have a strong antioxidant serum may want to pass. The formulation is gentle enough for lips if you like the tingly sensation.

"The plumping it doubles the size of your lips. [...] If you don't mind like a little bit of spiciness to your life and you want the plump lips this is the best lip plumper you will ever use. It's safe for the lips. It's not going to strip and dry. It's a really nice formulation. If however you don't like that spiciness this isn't going to be for you. I would go for the basic not the expert would be my advice."

"If you are looking for more of a slow aging version that's going to help target fine lines, give you a more like radiant looking glow, and you want soft, smoother looking skin, this is where the Red Booster Reedle Shot comes in. It's packed with dragon's blood, but it's a plant-based extract with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant properties. Dragon's blood can also help soothe inflammation, so you're soothing your skin while still getting that Reedle Shot technology for better absorption."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Ceramides

Ceramides are part of the skin's own barrier, and moisturisers built around them have evidence for holding water in and settling the tightness and flaking that come with a damaged barrier.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
