this lip sunscreen includes a form of Retinoids (vitamin A) - retinyl palmitate 0.15% - 0.50%, retinyl palmitate 0.15% - 0.50%, retinyl palmitate 0.15% - 0.50%, retinyl palmitate 0.15% - 0.50%, retinyl palmitate 0.15% - 0.50%, retinyl palmitate 0.15% - 0.50% and retinyl palmitate 0.30% - 0.75%, but this type of vitamin A is not very effective. It could in theory help with fine lines and wrinkles, but the effect is most likely minimal.
This moisturizer also contains Peptides (palmitoyl oligopeptide 0.15% - 0.50%, palmitoyl oligopeptide 0.20% - 0.75%, palmitoyl oligopeptide 0.20% - 0.75%, palmitoyl oligopeptide 0.20% - 0.75%, palmitoyl oligopeptide 0.20% - 0.75%, palmitoyl oligopeptide 0.20% - 0.75% and palmitoyl oligopeptide 0.20% - 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 they are 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.

What can the product work for?

Anti-aging

What does the product description say?

Formulated with the Laura Mercier Lip Complex, its unique blend of anti-aging and moisturizing anti-oxidants and plumping ingredients create a smooth, non-sticky finish that does not feather or bleed.

Source: Bluemercury

This product contains palmitoyl oligopeptide. 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.

palmitoyl oligopeptide 0.2% - 0.75%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles

retinyl palmitate 0.3% - 0.75%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Three steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. To have an effect in the skin, it first needs to be converted twice to become the retinoic acid. This means it is less potent than retinol, but could also be less irritating. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, it helps against all signs of aging, improves skin cell turnover and helps fight blemishes and clogged pores. However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect

butyrospermum parkii butter 0.45% - 1.05%

Irritation risk: Comedogenicity: High

Concentration: Insufficient!

A great moisturising ingredient that softens the skin and reduces water loss from its upper layer. It also can be helpful in protecting skin from free radicals

Moisturizing

What does the product description say?

This high-shine, perfectly pigmented balm gloss offers 24 hours of plush moisture and improves lip hydration over time.

Source: Feelunique

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: carthamus tinctorius seed oil, glycine soja 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 oligopeptide

oenothera biennis oil 0.4% - 0.9%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and can support skin barrier function

lanolin oil 3.5% - 5.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Sebum of wool-bearing animals (most commonly sheep). Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and reduce the skin water loss. In rare cases could be an allergen. Not suitable for vegans

palmitoyl oligopeptide 0.2% - 0.75%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles

Key Actives

camellia sinensis leaf extract 0.2% - 0.8%

Irritation risk:

Works for: Antibacterial, Anti-oxidation, Anti-aging, Moisturizing, Evens skin tone, Anti-blemish

Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties. Unfortunately, these antioxidants are unstable and lose their effectiveness very quickly in products. The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation

Potential irritants

rosa damascena extract 5.4% - 8.2%

Irritation risk:

Oil of a very fragrant pink rose used as fragrance in cosmetics. Extensive research has shown it has mixed benefits. In the pro column, inhaling this flower’s scent seems to have relaxing properties and the plant’s petals contain skin-soothing and antioxidant compounds that can benefit skin. On the flipside, the numerous chemicals that create this rose’s distinctive fragrance pose a risk of causing skin aggravation.

aroma 1.5% - 2.2%

Irritation risk:

An unspecified blend of fragrant irritating ingredients

Comodogenic ingredients

butyrospermum parkii butter 0.45% - 1.05%
