Obagi Lip Therapy AHA+PHA Smoothing Micro-Peel is a leave-on lip resurfacing treatment that gently dissolves dead skin buildup — no scrubbing required — using a trio of resurfacing acids: glycolic acid, lactic acid, and gluconolactone (PHA). It's the first entry in Obagi's new Lip Therapy line, designed to smooth texture, reduce dullness, and improve lip color clarity while sodium hyaluronate plumps and hydrates. In consumer testing, 97% of users felt smoother lips immediately after application, and 97% saw dryness relieved after two weeks of use. Meant to be the first step in a lip care routine, prepping lips to better absorb balms, treatments, or color.
