MoisturizingPalmitoyl tripeptide-1, Bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2 + 13 moreStrong evidence
“This plush, cushiony peptide lip treatment helps visibly plump your pout with lip-loving peptides, while a nourishing butter blend wraps them in long-lasting hydration.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2, cera microcristallina.
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-agingNot advertised by the brand · Palmitoyl tripeptide-1, TocopherolModerate evidence
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.
