AspenKiss is formulated as a treatment-first product, providing a smooth finish while delivering skincare-level hydration through peptides, shea butter, and vegan waxes. When compared to traditional lip glosses, it has a lighter consistency, adds a more subtle shine and gloss effect, and can be used in a wider variety of applications, like as an overnight treatment or during skincare prep ahead of makeup.

Apply AspenKiss Peptide Lip Treatment throughout the day or as part of your morning and nighttime skincare routine, leaving it on overnight if you choose.

Pro Tip: If using as part of your PM skincare routine, leave the peptide lip treatment on overnight for lasting nourishment and hydration. 

As mentioned above, you can use AspenKiss throughout the day or as part of your morning and nighttime skincare routine, leaving it on overnight if you choose. It’s up to you! 

You can absolutely wear AspenKiss Peptide Lip Treatment with lipstick or other lip colors, although this is probably not the typical use for peptide lip treatments. If you're using AspenKiss as part of your skincare routine, apply it at the same time as your other skincare steps to deeply hydrate and prep your lips. Once you're ready to apply makeup, finish your face first, then gently blot away lip treatment before applying your lip color.

On the flip side, if you're looking to add a glossy finish or extra shine, simply apply AspenKiss directly over your lipstick as a final step. Adding lip treatment over your lipstick helps to make the lipstick transferrable.

You sure can! Be sure to apply generously at bedtime and wake up to softer, more hydrated lips.

The easiest way to know your skin type is by first washing your face with a gentle cleanser. From there, pat your face dry and wait 15-30 minutes to assess how your skin feels naturally without any products. 

If it feels tight, like you forgot to put on your moisturizer, you have a drier skin type. If after 30 minutes your skin feels slick, you likely have an oily skin type. Don’t stress! Neither of these is a bad thing! 

On the flip side, if after 30 minutes you don't feel tight or slick, you’re among the lucky few who have what is characterized as a normal skin type, aka it feels balanced and comfortable, without excessive dryness or oiliness. 

You may have sensitive skin if you are prone to irritation and your skin has visible redness or feels itchy. 

For those with sensitive skin, we recommend patch testing on another area — like your neck or wrist — before fully applying skincare products to the face. If any irritation occurs, do not continue use of the product.

If you’re experiencing pilling or separation when applying skincare products, you likely have used too much product and/or haven’t given enough time between skincare steps for each product to soak into the skin before moving onto the next. 

Red Aspen has conducted either RIPT testing or RIPT testing with self-perceived sensitive skin subjects on the following skincare products: MineralMilk Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50, DewRenew Snail Mucin Serum, and RefreshGel Facial Cleanser. 

RIPT testing (Repeat Insult Patch Test), also known as HRIPT testing (Human Repeat Insult Patch Test) assesses a product's potential to cause skin irritation and allergic reactions after repeated exposure. It’s conducted by a third-party independent lab. 

RIPT testing supports claims like: “clinically tested,” "Dermatologist tested,” “non-irritating,” “did not cause irritation or sensitization in a clinical test,” or “non-sensitizing.”

RIPT testing with self-perceived sensitive skin subjects in addition to this supports the following claims: “hypoallergenic,” “suitable for sensitive skin,” and "clinically tested to be gentle on all skin types, including sensitive skin.”

Important: Please note that not every product was tested on sensitive skin. Please refer to each product’s individual FAQ to see if it was tested on sensitive skin. 

Determining if a product is "non-comedogenic" involves a specific test to determine if a skincare product is formulated not to clog pores, a common cause of acne and blackheads. This is a test we usually complete only for makeup products, like our Skin Tint.

Consumer perception testing is a type of research where real people — usually target customers — try a product and share their opinions on how it looks, how it feels, how it performs, or how it affects their skin. We have not conducted any consumer perception testing, but never say “Never.”

“Clinically tested” concentrates on safety — confirming the product doesn’t cause irritation or sensitization when used on skin.
