Very Rich Moisturizer with the Right Occlusivity for Very Dry Skin

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more occlusive.

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 Bite Beauty Agave+ Intensive Vegan Lip Mask suggests a rich, thick texture, making it perfectly suited for dry skin.

Things to Be Aware Of: Bite Beauty Agave+ Intensive Vegan Lip Mask

 
CreamScan AI identified a few things to consider before adding Bite Beauty Agave+ Intensive Vegan Lip Mask 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.

If It’s Your Only Moisturizer, It’s Better When Paired with Some Humectants

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 Bite Beauty Agave+ Intensive Vegan Lip Mask 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.
