A quasi-drug lip essence that cares for chapped, rough lips while leaving them looking plumper, glossier, and smoother.
About this product
MAQuillAGE's first quasi-drug lip treatment blends a dense trio of nourishing oils with the medicinal ingredient stearyl glycyrrhetinate to care for rough, chapped lips while they wear. The rich, warming essence melts into lips for a plumper, glassy-glossy look that's said to last through the day. Wear it alone at night or as a smoothing base under lipstick.
How to use
- Apply directly onto clean, bare lips using the tip or your fingertip.
- Gently massage in circular motions to help the rich oils sink in.
- Use as a stand-alone nightly treatment, or let it absorb for a few minutes before layering lipstick on top.
Ingredients
- Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate — Quasi-drug active ingredient that helps prevent and soothe chapped, rough lips.

- Acetylated Sodium Hyaluronate — Long-lasting moisture-binding hyaluronic acid derivative for plumper-looking lips.

FAQ
Can I wear this under lipstick?
Yes — let it sink in for a minute or two first so lipstick glides on smoothly instead of sliding off.
Is it tinted or colorless?
It's a clear, colorless lip treatment, so it won't change your lip color — just the finish.
Can I use it as an overnight lip mask?
Yes, many use it as a last step at night; the rich oil blend is designed to keep working while you sleep.
🇺🇸 For US customers
For the r/AsianBeauty crowd who track every J-beauty lip launch, this is MAQuillAGE's first-ever quasi-drug (医薬部外品) lip care — a category Japanese brands take seriously because the formula is held to a higher efficacy standard for treating chapped lips, not just moisturizing. Stearyl glycyrrhetinate handles the medicinal chapped-lip care, while acetylated sodium hyaluronate, camellia oil, and evening primrose oil round out a genuinely plush, glassy-lip treatment you can wear solo or as a glossy lipstick base.
