These are the key benefits you can expect from using Paco Rabanne Lovebalm Tinted Lip Balm:
 

Moisturizer with the Right Occlusivity for Normal Skin

According to CreamScan analysis, Paco Rabanne Lovebalm Tinted Lip Balm is lightly moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 2.9 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather occlusive. It has a low humectancy of 0.3 out of 10 and a moderate occlusivity of 5.5 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈4.0%), Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (est. ≈3.0%) and Bis-Behenyl/Isostearyl/Phytosteryl Dimer Dilinoleyl Dimer Dilinoleate (est. ≈2.0%).

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

Things to Be Aware Of: Paco Rabanne Lovebalm Tinted Lip Balm

 
CreamScan AI identified a few things to consider before adding Paco Rabanne Lovebalm Tinted Lip Balm to your skincare routine:
 

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 Paco Rabanne Lovebalm Tinted Lip Balm 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.
