Does Awake Beauty Lip Therapy Lip Mask work?

Based on the ingredient list analysis by CreamScan AI, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Awake Beauty Lip Therapy Lip Mask:

  • Strong occlusive moisturizing. This exceptionally occlusive moisturizer, ideal for dry and very dry skin, has a moderate moisturizing rating of 5.0 out of 10, impaired by the absence of humectants.

Moisturizer with the right occlusivity for very dry skin, ideally to be paired with a humectant-rich product

According to CreamScan analysis, Awake Beauty Lip Therapy Lip Mask is quite moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 5.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? It is purely occlusive. It has zero Humectancy (we didn't find any humectant ingredients on the ingredient list) and a maximum Occlusivity of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Phytosteryl/Isostearyl/Cetyl/Stearyl/Behenyl Dimer Dilinoleate (est. ≈22.0%), Hydrogenated Poly(C6-14 Olefin) (est. ≈6.0%) and Microcrystalline Wax (est. ≈4.0%).

This type of product, when used as a standalone moisturizer, can deliver an exceptional level of occlusive hydration that is adequate for dry to very skin. The occlusive profile of Awake Beauty Lip Therapy Lip Mask suggests a rich, thick texture, making it perfectly suited for dry skin.

However, it contains no humectants, and people with dry skin would definitely benefit from adding water-binding humectants to their moisturizing routine for effective dual-action moisturizing. If this is your only moisturizer, it may be worth including a humectant-rich product, such as a serum, in your skincare routine.
