Product Summary
"PIXI - Tinted Brilliance Balm" has a good moisturizing formula.
Ingredient callouts
- As a plus, this moisturizer also contains ceramides (ceramide np 2.20% - 3.30%). 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.

Does not contain the most effective ingredients for moisturization. The emollients (c12-15 alkyl benzoate, diisostearyl malate) can help soften the upper layer of the skin. Keep in mind though that this product lacks humectants that attract water. You might want to use a separate product with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin in addition (use before this product for the best results).
