What the product description says
“Moisture Capture System leaves a strong moisture barrier to prevent moisture loss. Offer moisturizing and calming effect.”
Source: Lila Beauty

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: beeswax, caprylic/capric glycerides.

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: petrolatum

BeeswaxKey active· Emollient, OcclusiveEffect: HighForms a protective barrier that holds water and keeps dry skin hydrated. Keeps an emulsion from separating into its oil and liquid components, and increases the thickness of a product. Can be an allergen~3.9–5.9%

Exfoliation

What the product description says
“DESCRIPTION The Saem Honey Oatmeal Lip Treatment contains Manuka Honey and Oatmeal Powder Extract that help nourish dry skin and soften dead skin cells for a smooth finish.”
Source: Lila Beauty

This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
