Shop La Mer’s New The Lip Treatment Today
In the world of luxury beauty, La Mer is a go-to: beloved for its high-performance creams, serums, oils, and concentrates that have helped millions of people achieve brighter and more youthful complexions. Now, the cult-favorite brand that’s garnered millions of TikTok searches and seals of approval from leading dermatologists has blessed fans with its first-ever lipstick: The Lip Treatment, launched just last week and already promising to become a bestseller.

Before this high achiever entered La Mer’s roster of offerings, its lip category consisted only of The Lip Balm, The Lip Polish, and The Lip Volumizer — all geared towards nourishing, restoring, and, in case of the latter, treating pouts to buildable color. The Lip Treatment effectively takes all of these effects and perfects them: helping replenish lips’ moisture barrier while keeping things looking plump and smooth. La Mer wasn’t playing games when it loaded its newest release with the most cutting-edge technology, including what it calls the “Continuous Melt” process: which is activated by your body’s natural temperature and gradually transfers ingredients to the lips, so that every contour and line ends up being filled with the product’s rich goodness.
Luckily for all those who love a ‘lil color, The Lip Treatment has four shades ripe for the picking, from the delicate, ultra-sheer Bare to the darker, sumptuous, ideal-for-fall Cocoa. Dynamic pigment technology is at play here, making sure the hues layer on in an even and harmonious way (thereby sparing you from having to do any blending yourself).
As for the ingredient list responsible for The Lip Treatment’s powers? La Mer’s patented, fermented Miracle Broth plays a big role, powered by sea kelp, vitamins, and minerals that aid with cell renewal. The Restorative Ferment, a new La Mer innovation, also works to prevent moisture loss in the lips (in beauty-industry terms, it’s an emollient). Take an even deeper dive into The Lip Treatment’s makeup and you’ll spot a complex of soothing oils, aloe leaf extract, shea butter, and other heavy hitters. Also among the ranks is lime tea concentrate, which, according to the brand, “prevents future signs of aging by helping to protect lips from damage that can accelerate the breakdown of youth proteins.”
The Lip Treatment is on a mission to support your skin’s collagen production and help keep your smooch looking full — even as cold weather threatens to make it dry and unappealing. As for that range of shades, you’ll be surprised at how easily each one augments the beauty of your natural lip tone (intensity can also be adjusted at will based on the number of swipes you choose to apply in the morning before work or throughout the day for effortless touch-ups). Long-term, La Mer aims for the ironing out of lip lines with this fresh product, as well as for the restoration of lip definition: no filler required.
Everyone from Kim Kardashian and Selena Gomez to Nicole Kidman have invested in La Mer’s hit beauty line and actively use its youth-boosting concoctions in their routines. While The Lip Treatment is too new to have already made it into celebrities’ makeup bags, we guarantee it’s only a matter of time before it does. Don’t miss the moment and shop the drop today. (Your lips will thank you.)
