Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the moisturizing rating calculation.

🍀 Rich in Skin-Protecting Antioxidants

We estimate that Awake by Tarte Lip Therapy Mask Peach is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil (est. ≈1.5%), Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil (est. ≈1.0%), Rubus Idaeus (Raspberry) Leaf Extract (est. ≈0.3%), and others.

Studies also show that antioxidants can protect against environmental damage such as UV radiation and pollution, and help reduce inflammation and skin redness.

CreamScan identified a few things to consider before adding Awake by Tarte Lip Therapy Mask Peach to your skincare routine:
 

⚠️ Best for Very Dry Skin - May Be Too Thick for Other Skin Types

With exceptional occlusivity, this product is optimal for moisturizing dry and very dry skin but may be too thick for other skin types, including normal, and especially combination and oily skin.

If you have oily, combination, or normal skin and are considering purchasing this product for the first time, it might be a good idea to try a sample before buying.

⚠️ Needs to Be Paired with Extra Humectants for Optimal Moisturizing Efficacy

An ideal moisturizer for any skin type should balance the right level of occlusivity (depending on skin type) with a significant amount of humectants, while Awake by Tarte Lip Therapy Mask Peach contains a low level of humectants.

People with dry skin would definitely benefit from adding more humectants to their moisturizing routine beyond what this product offers. If this is your only moisturizer, it may be worth including a humectant-rich product, such as a serum, in your skincare routine.
