Is Dryness And Swelling A Side Effect Of Peptide Serum Use?
I applied a small amount of a peptide serum to my forehead and around my mouth a few weeks ago. my lips have been swollen but are better now but still very dry and my upper lip below my nose is extremely dry, itchy and red. I would appreciate any suggestions of what I can do to relieve the discomfort. Thanks-

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
According to your complaints, it could be a reaction to peptide serum. I would recommend you to apply cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily along with frequent and liberal application of a moisturizing cream on the entire face 3 to 4 times during the day. This should resolve your problem.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
