“Burt’s Bees™ Overnight Intensive Lip Treatment provides long lasting moisturization for soft, smooth, healthy looking lips.”

This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.

The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water. When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job: glycerin, polyglycerin-3.

This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: caprylic/capric triglyceride, simmondsia chinensis seed oil.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide np

What the product description says
“This treatment even helps reduce the look of fine lines on and around your lips, leaving them ready for an even application of lip color or lip balm.”
Source: Target

This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.

    I actually use the pink one. I forget what the smell is called. It completely solved my dry lips.

  • SnoopyGoop· Mar 2023Recommends

    I’ve had exceptionally dry lips all my life, and tried multiple products over the years including lanolin. This product is fantastic to put on and around my lips before bed. I also recommend regular use of the Burt’s Bees lip conditioning scrub to remove dead skin cells. It too is moisturising.
