“A clinically tested, ultra-shiny gloss with immediate and long-term softening, hydrating, and visibly plumping benefits.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: helianthus annuus seed oil, ethylhexyl palmitate.
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-aging3 ingredients credited for this claimModerate support
“Clinically shown to visibly increase lip volume by 40 percent and decrease the look of wrinkles by 29 percent. . Shea Butter.”
This product contains palmitoyl tripeptide-1. 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.

Ingredient callouts
- This moistruizer also contains peptides (palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.20% - 0.70%). Peptides is a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of amino-acids. Our skin produces peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural anti-biotics, 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 peptides in skincare are helpful. They 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.
