Sexy Collagen Pink Gel Review

Hi, guys!

Whenever I do lip tint reviews, I always mention how my lips have dark, pigment edges. Because of that, a reader suggested I try this Thai product called "Sexy Collagen Pink Gel". 😆

I got mine from an online Shopee seller for only 130Php (see listings here). Here's my review after using it continuously for a month!

About the Product

Comes in a blister card packaging. Product info is written in Thai.
The card has Manufacturing and Expiry Dates written on it.

Sexy Collagen Pink Gel is a product that claims to improve the lips by making them soft, naturally pink and plump! The product exfoliates the lips to reveal a lighter tone plus it contains collagen for lip plumping.

Ingredients:
Aqua, Carbomer, Triethanolamine, Allantoin, Propylene Glycol, DMDM Hydantoin, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, CI 15850, Tocopherol, Niacinamide, Collagen, Alpha Arbutin

Directions: 
Apply a very small amount (approx the size of a sesame seed) to get soft lips with a natural pink color. To exfoliate and improve tone, it should be used daily for best results.

Notable ingredients include Allantoin for its soothing, healing and keratolytic properties, Aloe Vera for its moisturizing powers, Niacinamide and Arbutin for whitening and of course, Collagen for skin plumping. DMDM Hydantoin is a potential high-risk irritant while Tocopherol (Vitamin E) pose a lower risk. Here's the Cosdna Analysis of the ingredients. As always, don't use if you are allergic or sensitive to any of the ingredients!

The product.

The gel is housed in a clear and airless pump tube the size of a regular lipstick - very convenient if you wanna bring it along with you. It is made of plastic and seems sturdy enough. I dropped it a couple of times and it was still intact and looks undamaged.

My Experience

Unlike most gels, the consistency is thick and won't get watery once you start to spread it around. The gel is clear but will begin to develop a pinkish tinge after application. While not that heavy, it feels greasy on the lips like a lipbalm.

That lip-plumping action though! After 3-5 minutes, my lips noticeably has less fine lines. Combined with the pink tint, I can confidently say my lips look healthier!

The product has potential but it has its cons too. I noticed my lips would look paler as the night goes on. I chalk it up to the product's whitening abilities. Another thing I noticed is that the gel sits on top of the lips and will not absorb well. It transfers a lot and in the morning, my lips would look like this:

My lips would get very dry and I'm sure the gel is the cause since it happens every time I use it. If you want to get the plump-looking lips above, you have to continuously re-apply the gel.

The main reason why I got this is to lighten the dark edges of my lips. So did it work? See below.

Yes, I suck at taking before and afters 😂

The lighting has changed (sorry!) but I can definitely that say my lips have lightened a little bit. The dark edges have faded to a lighter brown in a span of one month.

VERDICT

The Sexy Collagen Pink Gel gets a pass from me. It really helped in fading the dark color of my lips. I will keep on using this to see more results.

Just keep in mind the cons I mentioned above. My lips look plump and healthy after application but the effects are temporary. I won't recommend using it as a lip gloss.
