“This high-shine, perfectly pigmented balm gloss offers 24 hours of plush moisture and improves lip hydration over time.”
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
Anti-aging4 ingredients credited for this claimModerate support
“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.”
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.

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.

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

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

Product summary
"Laura Mercier - Lip Glace" is effective for: Moisturizing
This lip product could be helpful for: Anti-aging, but its actives are not the most effective or are not well-studied.
Ingredient callouts
- 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.
