MoisturizingPalmitoyl tripeptide-1, Bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2 + 9 moreWorks well
“Moisturizing daily lip treatment helps smooth and nourish.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2, butyrospermum parkii butter.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: palmitoyl tripeptide-1
Anti-agingPalmitoyl tripeptide-1, Butyrospermum parkii butterMay help
“Dermalogica AGE Smart™ Renewal Lip Complex works using arginine/lysine polypeptide, a peptide that acts as a sugar trap, binding sugar in the body to help prevent the formation of AGEs: a sugar-protein complex that leads to stiff, cross-linked collagen; and palmitoyl oligopeptide, a peptide molecule that conditions skin and stimulates collagen formation to minimise fine lines.”
This product contains palmitoyl tripeptide-1. This ingredient might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.
