"Fillerina - Lip Plump - Grade 3" has a good moisturizing formula. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Fillerina - Lip Plump - Grade 3 ticks this box. Humectants in this product (glycerin, hyaluronic acid, hydrolyzed glycosaminoglycans, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid and sodium hyaluronate) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Emollients in this formulation (caprylyl glycol, pentylene glycol and hydroxypropyl cyclodextrin) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
Ingredient callouts
We like that this moisturizer contains peptides (palmitoyl tripeptide-38 0.05% - 0.20% and acetyl hexapeptide-37 0.05% - 0.15%). There are many different kind of peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of amino-acids. Some of them work as natural anti-biotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective peptides in skincare are, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. Peptides might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.

Specially developed for those experiencing subtle volume loss and barely-there fine lines around the lips, the Grade 1 formula contains six forms of Hyaluronic Acid (of varying molecular sizes from 1000 Dalton to 2 million Dalton) to plump lips with moisture and improve the appearance of volume with a gradual effect.
This product contains acetyl hexapeptide-37, palmitoyl tripeptide-38.
These ingredients 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.
One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin. Naturally present in skin. Typically has large molecule size unless advertised otherwise on the product label. Helps support skin's barrier function and may help to reduce inflammation

What does the product description say?

This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called
"humectants":
glycerin, hyaluronic acid.
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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This
is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for
ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with
the hydration level: acetyl hexapeptide-37, palmitoyl tripeptide-38
