High Performance Lip Filler Formulated by Dr. Macrene Alexiades, MD, PhD · Dual Board-Certified Dermatologist & Research Scientist

The original. The only MD PhD-formulated lip filler clinically designed to replace the needle — not just plump the surface.

Dr. Alexiades spent decades injecting lips. She knows better than anyone what injectable filler does, how it does it, and what it cannot do. This formula was built from that clinical knowledge — not inspired by it, not approximating it, but engineered from the inside out to replicate the volumizing, smoothing, and structural mechanisms of injectable lip filler through a 20+ active system that works deeper, lasts longer, and improves with every application.

Wear it daily. The results compound over time. This is the lip treatment you use for decades so you do not need injections.


Key Actives

Dipalmitoyl hydroxyproline — the structural plumping peptide — The same elastin-stimulating peptide Dr. Alexiades deploys in the Neck & Décolletage Treatment, here targeted to the lip's unique structural challenge: loss of the elastic fiber network that gives young lips their natural plushness, definition, and recoil. With consistent use, it signals the lip tissue to rebuild what time has taken — genuine structural improvement, not surface coating.

Micro-encapsulated sodium hyaluronate — needle-free delivery — Conventional hyaluronic acid sits on the surface. Micro-encapsulation controls the rate of penetration and drives HA deeper into the lip tissue, replicating the volumizing mechanism of injectable HA filler without the needle. Hydration drawn in from within, not layered on top — the difference is visible and it compounds with use.

Ceramide NG — barrier and moisture lock — Ceramides are the lipid molecules that hold the lip's moisture barrier together. As lips age they lose ceramide content, leading to chronic dryness, feathering, and the loss of the soft, pillowy texture that characterizes healthy lips. Ceramide NG replenishes that barrier directly, locking moisture in and keeping environmental stressors out.

Echium plantagineum seed oil — the rare omega powerhouse — One of the most remarkable and rarely used oils in skincare. Echium is exceptionally rich in stearidonic acid, gamma-linolenic acid, and alpha-linolenic acid — a unique fatty acid profile that makes it one of the most anti-inflammatory and barrier-restorative plant oils available. It is difficult to source, oxidation-sensitive, and rarely seen in lip formulas. It is here because no other plant oil delivers its combination of barrier repair, anti-inflammatory potency, and deep nourishment to the thin, vulnerable skin of the lip.

Camellia japonica seed oil — the skin-identical luxury oil — Cold-pressed from the Japanese camellia flower, this oil has a fatty acid composition remarkably similar to human sebum, allowing it to absorb instantly and completely without residue. Rich in oleic acid and squalene precursors, it restores suppleness, improves lip elasticity, and delivers a silky, non-sticky feel that distinguishes this formula from conventional lip treatments.

Solidago virgaurea (goldenrod) extract — A clinically relevant anti-inflammatory and antioxidant botanical that calms the chronic low-grade irritation that accelerates lip aging, reduces feathering, and contributes to the loss of lip definition over time. Rarely used in lip formulas — present here because inflammation is an underappreciated driver of lip volume loss.

Cnidium monnieri fruit extract — A traditional botanical with documented skin-conditioning and barrier-strengthening properties, contributing to the sustained plumpness and silkiness of the lip surface with continued use.

Shea butter & shea butter unsaponifiables — Both the full butter and its biologically active unsaponifiable fraction are included — the butter for immediate nourishment and occlusion, the unsaponifiables for their unique ability to improve skin elasticity and barrier function at a deeper structural level than the butter alone.

Coconut oil, squalane & sunflower oil unsaponifiables — A trio of skin-identical and skin-compatible lipids that deliver immediate softness, sustained hydration, and the lightweight, non-sticky base that makes this formula comfortable enough to wear daily and throughout the day.

Mentha arvensis oil — A gentle, natural mint oil that delivers an immediate sensation of freshness and stimulates microcirculation in the lip, enhancing the delivery of actives and contributing to the visible plumping effect from the first application. No need to carry mints when you have this balm in your purse or pocket.

Tocopherol & rosemary leaf extract — Vitamin E and rosemary antioxidants protect the formula's rare and oxidation-sensitive plant oils from degradation, and help protect the lip tissue itself from the UV-induced and environmental oxidative stress that accelerates lip aging and pigmentation changes.


Why the Oils in This Formula Are Different

Most lip treatments are built on mineral oil, petrolatum, or commodity plant oils. The High Performance Lip Filler was built on a curated system of rare, clinically selected oils chosen for their specific mechanisms — not their cost or availability. Echium for its unmatched fatty acid profile. Camellia japonica for its skin-identical composition. Shea unsaponifiables for barrier repair beyond what the butter alone can achieve. Soybean oil for its phytosterol content. Every oil in this formula earns its place against a specific mechanism of lip aging. There is no filler in a lip filler formulated by a physician.


What You Will See

Immediately: Visibly softer, more hydrated, and more defined lips with a natural plumping sensation and a smooth, comfortable finish.

With regular use: Gradually but consistently improved lip volume and definition, visibly reduced lip fine lines and feathering, restored moisture barrier, and the kind of sustained structural plushness that injectable filler provides — built over time, without the needle.

    Customer photo review of Everyday Oil

    Love the oil!! It’s my second time purchasing. I initially bought it in a small boutique and after a diligent Internet search, I found you guys and purchased through you. This time, I bought the larger bottle, but the pump that was sent does not fit the bottle.

    I attended the Jane Iredale makeover session at the shop and instantly fell in love with this lip shade! The color worked so well with my complexion and stays on for hours. Even after eating and drinking you're left with a beautiful stain on the lips. 10/10 recommend!

    Customer photo review of Beetroot Tint for Lips and Cheeks

    So I love that this tint is natural and I like to try new items in the store as there are limited chemicals. This stain is great for an evening out or even one coat to go to work daily. However, it transfers and only lasts 1-2 hours before you need to reapply. It's a pigmented finish and usually I see color left on the outlines of my lips.

    Purchased the sample size and will be upgrading to the full bottle. It smells wonderful, not overpowering and will not bother your sinuses or give headaches.

    Ashley is great we had a great time signed up for 102. Can't wait for next class.

    Mahjong Lessons

    This stuff gives such good protection for my extremely sun-sensitive lips. So grateful for this shade - perfect for neutral toned skin. it looks good, without shouting "I'M WEARING LIPSTICK!" I've tried Berry (a bit too cool for me) and Red Earth (a bit too warm) before, and Nude is just right.

    SPF 50 Natural Lip & Cheek Tint - Nude

    Great cream with a subtle smell, but very effective and easy on the skin.

    Alpine Rich Cream

    This is such a great compact little brush! Very high quality and I loved that I was able to check to see if it was available at my closest store and then run past and pick up from Ashley!
