“LB1 Lip Balm is for guys who want hydrated, healthy lips – without anyone knowing they're wearing lip balm at all.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: beeswax, caprylic/capric triglyceride.
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-agingNot advertised by the brand · 2 ingredients credited for this claimModerate support
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.

Product summary
"Patricks - LB1 | Lip Balm" 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
- We like that this moisturizer contains peptides (palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.15% - 0.60%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. Peptides might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, Peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
