MoisturizingDimethicone, Bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2 + 11 moreWorks
“Unlike most traditional matte lipsticks, this innovative lipcolor not only provides high color payoff but keeps lips feeling moisturized and comfortable.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2, cera microcristallina.
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).
