When should you use this lip-plumping serum?
The Nuxe Very Rose Plumping Lip Serum Gift Set combines the lip serum from the Very Rose line in a festive box tied with a gold ribbon. Its formula combines hyaluronic acid and an oily rose extract with chili pepper extract and menthol, in a melt-in-the-mouth texture with a vanilla scent and a non-sticky finish. It naturally fits into your daily lip care routine, whether worn alone or under makeup.
The serum provides 24-hour hydration for the lips, a duration measured by instrumental testing on 11 volunteers. Hyaluronic acid locks in moisture on the surface of the lips, while jojoba, castor, and sunflower oils envelop them in a supple veil. This is particularly important for an area lacking sebaceous glands, and therefore directly exposed to cold, wind, and fluctuations in indoor heating.
It plumps the lips and enhances them with a transparent, glossy finish that revives their natural color without masking it. The lips appear fuller and smoother, with a shine similar to that of a lip gloss, but with the texture of a lip treatment.
Its signature feature is its warm-cool effect: upon application, the chili pepper extract delivers a gentle, warm tingle, immediately softened by the coolness of menthol. The bottle slips easily into a purse for touch-ups throughout the day, and its hanging gift box makes it the perfect Christmas gift—to place under the tree or hang from a branch.
The serum is best worn during the day, when you want glossy, plump lips. In the evening, or during very cold weather, we recommend switching tothe Avène Cold Cream Nutrition Lip Stick: its richer, cold-cream-like texture nourishes the lips and protects them from the cold, without chili or menthol. These two steps complement each other throughout the day—radiance and volume on one hand, nourishment and soothing for the lips on the other.

Precautions
- For external use only. This serum contains chili pepper extract: apply it exclusively to the lips.
- Avoid contact with the eyes and do not rub your eyes after touching the product. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Do not apply to chapped, cracked, cut, or irritated lips, or immediately after lip exfoliation, upper lip hair removal, or cosmetic procedures around the lips: chili pepper and menthol sting more on delicate skin.
- Cold sores: Do not apply to the lesion or the area around it. The bottle is for strictly personal use, as the applicator comes into direct contact with the lips.
- Do not use if you have a known allergy to any of the ingredients, particularly chili pepper, menthol, castor oil, vanillin, or the fragrance components in the formula (isoeugenol, benzyl benzoate).
- Sensitive lips: Test on a small area of the lip before full use.
- Remove the serum with a gentle makeup remover and discontinue use if the tingling sensation turns into a burning sensation, or in case of redness, swelling, itching, or persistent flaking on the lips. If the reaction persists, consult a doctor.
- Do not use on children under 3 years of age, for whom menthol is not recommended.
- This serum does not contain sunscreen: when in the mountains, at the beach, or during prolonged sun exposure, apply a lip balm with a high SPF.
- Do not swallow. In case of accidental ingestion, contact a poison control center.
- Close the bottle tightly after each use. Store at room temperature, away from heat and direct sunlight (e.g., in a car or an exposed pocket). Keep out of reach of children.

Our expert tips on the Very Rose serum for moisturizing your lips
The first consideration isn’t the desire for volume—it’s the condition of your lips on the day you use it. In winter, taking care of chapped lips is key: when they feel tight or are peeling, two or three nights of nourishing balm are better than a tingling treatment, and the serum should be used again once your lips are smooth again. Many people do the opposite and mistakenly conclude that they can’t tolerate the product.
When buying a gift, ask yourself this before purchasing: Does the person like cool, tingling sensations? The tingling sensation is a delight for some and bothersome for others. If the recipient has sensitive lips or doesn’t like menthol, a lip oil without chili pepper will be a safer choice.
FAQ
Does the Nuxe Very Rose serum sting when I apply it?
Yes, slightly, and this is to be expected with this formula. The tingling sensation is most noticeable immediately after application, then subsides as the serum settles on the lips. Its intensity varies from person to person: some find it barely noticeable, while others find it more pronounced.
How long does the plumping effect of the Nuxe Very Rose serum last?
The plumping effect is visual and temporary: it fades over the course of several hours, and more quickly after eating or drinking. It does not permanently alter the volume of the lips—only a medical procedure can do that. The long-term benefit is hydration.
Can I apply the Nuxe Very Rose serum over my lipstick?
Yes. When applied over lipstick, it provides the glossy finish of a lip gloss while still letting the lipstick color show through. When applied underneath, it creates a comfortable base, but its oil-rich texture makes matte lipsticks slide off, causing them to wear off sooner: it’s best to let it absorb for a few minutes before applying color.
