50%Active overlap
Laneige
TreatmentPremiumEvening only
DrynessChapped LipsDullness

A perennial bestseller overnight lip balm with a berry-fruit antioxidant complex, murumuru and shea butter. Genuinely effective at softening dry, flaky lips overnight — its main downside is the added fragrance.

Tower 28
TreatmentPremiumMorning or evening
sensitiveAcneRednessDamaged Barrier

A hypochlorous acid spray — the same antimicrobial chemistry used in medical wound care. Good for acne-prone skin, eczema flares, post-shave, post-workout. Not a substitute for a treatment serum; a useful topical peacekeeper.
