The Name on Everybody's Lips is Dr. Dennis Gross

Anyone who reads me regularly knows that Dr. Dennis Gross is a name that's often on my lips. Figuratively. But now, due to two brand new releases targeting the lips, Dr. Gross is literally on my lips as well.

The first is the DRx SpectraLite LipWare Pro, an FDA-cleared LED treatment that targets smile lines, pucker lines, fine lines, and lack of lip color. This lip treatment joins two other LED superstars in the collection: a face mask and a targeted eye mask, both of which I obsessively use daily. For those suspicious about LED lights, they're not just a gimmick: their efficacy has been proven in clinical studies over and over again.

The science behind LED light is that it penetrates the skin with multiple wavelengths, which boost natural collagen production and can result in fewer fine lines and wrinkles and all-around smoother skin. And in the case of the lips, LED light enhances the natural color of the lips and will give you fuller, more defined lips over time. You can mindlessly throw this mask on for three minutes a day, which makes it an easy addition to anyone's routine. The DRx SpectraLite LipWare Pro is now available for $148 at DrDennisGross.com.

The second new lip release that hit stores this week is the DermInfusions Plump + Repair Lip Treatment, which is the newest addition to the Dr. Dennis Gross DermInfusions line. You can think of this as a hybrid plumper and lip treatment, offering both instant and long term results with continued use.

If the idea of a lip plumper conjures up memories of Lip Venom, a gloss that uses irritants to plump up the lips, then you'll be amazed at how Dr. Gross has modernized and improved the at-home plumper. It contains four weights of hyaluronic acid which allow for the product to penetrate deeper into the skin, resulting in maximum hydration and plumping from the inside out. There's also a blend of peptides which increase volume, hydration, softness, and actually stimulate fibroblasts to produce more collagen and hyaluronic acid. Furthermore, there are a score of strengthening, repairing, and protective ingredients that dial up the benefits of the lip treatment.

Be aware that this product may take some getting used to, especially if you're not accustomed to the feeling of your lips being on fire. But start small and slow–a little goes a long way–and you'll be shocked at how a tiny dot of this makes your lips look healthy and hydrated for hours. Available for $45 at DrDennisGross.com.
