“Pamper your pout with DHC’s Lip Cream ; a conditioning lip balm that provides long-lasting moisture.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: caprylic/capric triglyceride, cera alba.
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: lanolin
Anti-agingTocopherolNot delivered
“Blended with Vitamin E, which nourishes and fights the visible signs of ageing, Aloe Vera, which soothes, and Olive Oil which neutralises free radicals, the skin is softened.”
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.
