“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: ricinus communis seed oil, simmondsia chinensis seed 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 tripeptide-1
Anti-agingRetinyl palmitate, Palmitoyl tripeptide-1 + 2 moreMay help
“The pearlescent formula is also anti-ageing and antioxidant, protecting your lips from environmental aggressors.”
This product contains palmitoyl tripeptide-1, retinyl palmitate. 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-oxidationSide benefit · Camellia sinensis leaf extract, Camellia oleifera leaf extract + 5 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (camellia oleifera leaf extract) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
The following ingredients - camellia sinensis leaf extract also can have an antioxidant effect, but there is less evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin.

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

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.
