What’s the difference between a lip balm, a lip mask and a lip serum?
- Lip balm: everyday protection that keeps lips soft and moisturised. Reapply as often as you need.
- Lip mask: a richer, more intensive treatment, usually applied at night to repair dry, cracked lips while you sleep.
- Lip serum: a lightweight treatment packed with active ingredients like peptides and PDRN to smooth and plump the look of lips.

How do I use a Korean lip sleeping mask?
Apply a generous layer to clean lips as the last step of your night routine, and leave it on while you sleep. In the morning, gently wipe away any leftover product to reveal softer, smoother lips. Try the Medicube PDRN Lip Sleeping Mask.
What does PDRN do in lip care?
PDRN is a popular K-beauty ingredient that helps support the look of smooth, plump, healthy lips. It’s often paired with collagen and peptides in Korean lip treatments. Try the Dr. Reju-All Advanced PDRN Rejuvenating Lip Serum.
Can I wear a lip treatment under lip tint?
It depends on the tint. Water and gel tints work best on bare lips so the colour can stain properly, so apply the tint first, let it set, then add your lip balm or lip mask on top for hydration. Velvet and creamy tints are more forgiving, so you can apply a thin layer of lip treatment first, let it absorb, and blot any excess before adding colour. Shop our Korean lip tints.
