Based on the ingredient list, "Eucerin - Dry Skin Acute Lip Balm" can work well for skin moisturization. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Eucerin - Dry Skin Acute Lip Balm ticks this box. Panthenol, glycerin and butylene glycol in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Oenothera biennis oil, bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2, caprylic/capric triglyceride, cera alba and ricinus communis seed oil in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.
