What are good products to use on lips overnight that will possibly renew and re-condition as Retin-A and moisturizer work for skin?

Lips tend to be sensitive like the skin around the eyes.  I use the same products I use on my eyelids on my lips with good results.  I really don’t think you need separate skin care products just for the lips.  But don’t forget to use your sunscreen (sorry to nag) on your lips or use a lip product with SPF like the Laura Mercier SPF 15 (good colors) or the Jack Black SPF 25 gloss (clear with great flavors).  We see way too many skin cancers on and around the lips!  Not a fun area to have a surgery.   Dr. I

One of the best investments in your skin is your daily skincare. Why? Because you can prevent many problems with blotchy skin color, lack of glow, texture, some types of acne, and fine lines with good skincare products. You can also correct some of these problems with effective skincare products. Great skincare is often more expensive because quality ingredients are expensive. Some companies spend on research/development which benefits all of us and adds to the cost. Are they worth it? In general - yes! I have handpicked some of what I consider to be the best skin care products, and offer them for sale on SkinTour's shop. This is based on my team and I's testing and research at our clinic. Many of the products are in my own regimen. What could be better than using skin care products a dermatologist uses?!
