Water Bank Aqua Facial

LANEIGE Water Bank Aqua Facial is a daily serum modelled on the Korean glass-skin facial: a little exfoliation, a lot of hydration, and glow as the end result. One bottle covers the resurfacing and the water-loading steps, so it slots in as a single serum rather than two.

What it actually does

• Resurfaces at three speeds. AHA works on the surface, BHA gets into oil, PHA is the mildest of the three — together they make up the 7.7% complex LANEIGE uses to smooth and soften.
• Loads the skin with water. Hyaluronic and polyglutamic acid pull and hold moisture, while PDRN and the hyaluronic ceramide complex are credited with supporting the barrier as they do it.
• Handles dullness and rough patches together. That exfoliate-plus-hydrate pairing is the whole premise of the formula, aimed at the look you'd have just after a facial.
• Brand clinical testing. In instrumental testing on 32 women, LANEIGE measured a 113% hydration boost and an 80% drop in flakiness immediately after one use, plus a 22% rise in skin cell turnover three days in versus untreated skin. Brand-reported; individual results vary.
• Clean of a long list. No parabens, formaldehyde releasers, phthalates, mineral oil, retinyl palmitate, oxybenzone, coal tar, hydroquinone, SLS/SLES, triclosan or triclocarban, and under one percent synthetic fragrance.

How to use

1. Open the cap at the bottom tip with a twist.
2. Press the white button on top to release the serum in drops.
3. Place two to three drops on each cheek and the forehead, then spread and massage gently across the whole face.
4. Slot it in after cleansing and toning, morning and evening, as your serum step.
5. New to acids? LANEIGE suggests starting at two or three times a week and increasing towards daily if your skin is happy.
6. Wear sunscreen during the day — non-negotiable with an exfoliating acid in the routine.

Questions

Can I really use acids twice a day?

LANEIGE positions it as a morning and night serum, but also tells beginners to build up from two or three times a week. Follow the slower path if your skin is new to AHA, BHA or PHA.

Where does it go in my routine?

After cleanser and toner, before your moisturiser. In the morning, sunscreen goes on last.

Will it be too drying for oily skin — or too strong for dry skin?

The brand lists normal, dry and oily as suitable. The hydrating side of the formula — hyaluronic acid, polyglutamic acid, PDRN and ceramides — is there to offset what the acids do.
