“Fortified with volumizing Peptides and Triple Hyaluronic Acid, the innovative formula delivers intense moisture and hydration, whilst combating fine lines and creating a plumping effect to reveal smoother, fuller-looking lips.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, sodium hyaluronate.
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: tripeptide-29
Anti-aging2 ingredients credited for this claimModerate support
“Fortified with volumizing Peptides and Triple Hyaluronic Acid, the innovative formula delivers intense moisture and hydration, whilst combating fine lines and creating a plumping effect to reveal smoother, fuller-looking lips.”
This product contains tripeptide-29. 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.

Product summary
Based on the ingredients included, "HydroPeptide - Perfecting Gloss Lip Enhancing Treatment - Sun-Kissed Bronze" works well for moisturizing the skin. As we expect from a proper moisturizer, the formula includes a combo of effective humectants and emollients. These are the two different types of ingredients that are essential for improving the skin hydration and supporting a healthy skin barrier. Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, sodium hyaluronate, sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer 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). Emollients in this formulation (isopropyl palmitate, hydrogenated polyisobutene and isononyl isononanoate) 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 (tripeptide-29 0.15% - 0.70%). 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.
Irritation risk
