Based on the ingredients included, "Goldfaden MD - Lip Therapy" works well for moisturizing the skin.
Ingredient callouts
We like that this moisturizer contains peptides (palmitoyl tripeptide-1 1.50% - 2.30%). 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.

Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
Goldfaden M. D. Lip Therapy contains an enriched blend of powerful moisturizers and a multi-active peptide complex that smells like Peppermint and will revitalize your lips.
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives:
copernicia cerifera wax, helianthus annuus seed oil.
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
A plant oil that can help soften the skin. It might be helpful in calming down inflammation, but solid research is lacking. Is often used in lip products to create the needed product consistency
