Product Summary
"Macrene Actives - Plumping High Performance Lip Filler with Hyaluronic Acid" is effective for: Moisturizing
Ingredient callouts
- Ceramides (ceramide ng 0.50% - 1.10%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.
- Humectants (sodium hyaluronate 0.45% - 1.10%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

Plumping High Performance Lip Filler with Hyaluronic Acid
Source: From product name
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
sodium hyaluronate, butylene glycol.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide ng
