K-Y Liquibeads serve as a hybrid moisturizer and lubricant using a mess-free ovule delivery system. The silicone-rich core, featuring Dimethicone and Dimethiconol, provides a long-lasting glide by creating an occlusive film on the mucosa. This film mimics natural conditions and prevents transepidermal water loss, providing maintenance for up to 72 hours.
The formula is hormone-free and includes Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride for lipid-replenishing qualities. The gelatin shell requires internal moisture to dissolve; in very dry conditions, this process may take longer than expected. It is noted that the glycerin within the suppository format is a data point for those prone to sensitivities.
This product is discrete and prevents the leaking associated with traditional gels. However, the silicone-based core is not compatible with silicone accessories. It is an ideal professional-grade choice for those seeking long-duration moisture without frequent re-application.
