Lip Primer Fills Fine Lines for Smoother Lips

Dear Dr. Dave and Dr. Dee,

I like to wear lipstick, but when I do, the little fine lines or wrinkles on my lips show up even more. This seems to be more of a problem now that I am in my forties. I have full lips, so do not need a plumper, just something to hide the little lip cracks.

Signed,
