Does Pixi Beauty Petra Collagen Lip Gloss work?

Based on the ingredient list analysis by CreamScan AI, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Pixi Beauty Petra Collagen Lip Gloss:

  • Light moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 2.1 out of 10.

Slight Moisturizing When Used Alone

According to CreamScan analysis, Pixi Beauty Petra Collagen Lip Gloss is lightly moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 2.1 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather occlusive. It has a low humectancy of 0.9 out of 10 and a moderate occlusivity of 3.2 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈6.0%).

This type of product provides relatively light moisturizing on its own but can contribute to overall moisturizing efficacy when used as part of a skincare routine, alongside another moisturizer.

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

Questionable anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Pixi Beauty Petra Collagen Lip Gloss has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, an ingredient often marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 provide insufficient evidence of its efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, this ingredient does 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.
