How moisturizing is it?

Intensely moisturizing: Veneffect Anti-Aging Lip Treatment has a moisturizing rating of 9.1 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈11.0%) and Sorbitol (est. ≈2.0%), and a very high occlusivity of 8.2 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil (est. ≈6.0%) and Petrolatum (est. ≈3.5%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Veneffect Anti-Aging Lip Treatment has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 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, could deliver some anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.

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