MoisturizingPalmitoyl tripeptide-1, Sodium chondroitin sulfate + 10 moreStrong evidence
“This bestselling lip treatment deeply moisturizes dry lips and delivers a plumper, fuller appearance with a hint of pink.”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
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. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
sodium chondroitin sulfate, butylene glycol.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: phenyl trimethicone, persea gratissima oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: palmitoyl tripeptide-1
Anti-agingAtelocollagen, Palmitoyl tripeptide-1 + 2 moreModerate evidence
“For hydrated, nourished and naturally full lips with a sheer pink tint, treat your pout to this moisturising and soothing formula with avocado oil and Vitamin E alongside an incredible polypeptide complex, which works to promote full and plump lips and helps to minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth.”
This product contains atelocollagen, palmitoyl tripeptide-1. 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.
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Ubiquinone, Oryzanol + 2 moreStrong evidence
This product contains antioxidants (ubiquinone) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).

Ingredient callouts
- Peptides (palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.30% - 0.75%). Peptides are a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of aminoacids. Our skin produces Peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of Peptides is, but it is very likely that theynare helpful. Peptides might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
- Humectants (sodium chondroitin sulfate 0.45% - 1.00%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
