Key Benefits of Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask Grapefruit

 
These are the key benefits you can expect from using Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask Grapefruit:
 

Moisturizer with the Right Occlusivity for Normal Skin

According to CreamScan analysis, Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask Grapefruit is lightly moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 3.7 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather occlusive. It has a low humectancy of 1.5 out of 10 and a moderate occlusivity of 5.9 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Microcrystalline Wax (est. ≈4.0%), Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter (est. ≈3.0%) and Synthetic Wax (est. ≈2.0%).

This type of product, when used as a standalone moisturizer, may provide some occlusive moisturizing that is adequate for normal skin.

 

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

Please note that this is not a complete list of benefits. We are in the process of enhancing our AI model to incorporate anti-pigmentation, exfoliation and anti-acne ratings.

Things to Be Aware Of: Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask Grapefruit

 
CreamScan AI identified a few things to consider before adding Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask Grapefruit to your skincare routine:
 

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 Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask Grapefruit contains a low level of humectants.

People with normal 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.

Questionable anti-wrinkle efficacy

If one of your main reasons for choosing Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask Grapefruit is its potential anti-aging effects, please note that, according to CreamScan analysis, it currently has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains some ingredients often marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Coffea Arabica (Coffee) Seed Extract, Beta-Glucan, and Ascorbyl Glucoside. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of these ingredients provide insufficient evidence of efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. 

While this does not categorically exclude the possibility that these ingredients may reduce wrinkles, their efficacy is not supported by convincing, vehicle-controlled, double-blind clinical studies - at least none that were accessible to the CreamScan team at the time of publication.

Therefore, these ingredients do not generate the anti-wrinkle rating.

Moisturizers, when used regularly, are proven to prevent wrinkle formation and even reduce existing wrinkles. Therefore, this product, like any other moisturizer, can deliver some anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the anti-wrinkle rating calculation.
