What the product description says
“Smooth and melts upon contact with skin, this lip cream contains moisturizing ingredients such as squalene and ceramides for powerful moisture retention.”
Source: Yesstyle

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: squalane, cholesterol.

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: ceramide 2, ceramide 3, ceramide 6 ii, paraffinum liquidum, petrolatum

Anti-aging
Not advertised by the brand · Epigallocatechin gallate, Butyrospermum parkii butter + 1 more
Moderate evidence

This product contains epigallocatechin gallate. 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. The biggest anti-aging effect in this product comes from sun protection. Sun damage is the main factor causing early signs of skin aging. We, however, do not recommend using this product as a sunscreen because the protection it offers is not strong enough).
