Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Intensive Moisturizer

LANEIGE Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Intensive Moisturizer is the rich-cream member of the Water Bank line, aimed squarely at skin that feels dry, tight or flaky. Micro-sized Blue Hyaluronic Acid is the headline, backed by peptides, squalane and purified cica.

What it actually does

• Hydration that absorbs faster. The Blue HA is micro-sized, which LANEIGE says lets it sink in better and quicker for intense, long-lasting moisture.
• Nourishes the barrier. The Omega Peptide Complex is included to feed the skin's moisture barrier and improve how elastic skin looks.
• Mimics skin's own lipids. Squalane is in the formula as a moisturising ingredient close to what skin produces naturally.
• Calms as well as hydrates. Purified cica joins the squalane and peptides for soothing, nourishing relief.
• Addresses dullness too. Dryness, dullness, and firmness or elasticity slipping away — those are the three concerns the brand names for it.
• Tested for compromised skin. LANEIGE reports it as dermatologist tested and suitable for eczema-prone skin.
• Short exclusion list. No parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, sulfates SLS and SLES, oxybenzone, hydroquinone, coal tar, retinyl palmitate, triclosan, triclocarban, formaldehyde or formaldehyde-releasing agents, and under one percent synthetic fragrance. Gluten-free.

How to use

1. Cleanse, tone and apply your serum first.
2. Spread the cream evenly across the face.
3. Do this both in the morning and at night.

Questions

What makes Blue Hyaluronic Acid different?

LANEIGE's point is particle size — theirs is micro-sized, which the brand says helps it absorb faster and more deeply than standard HA, for hydration that holds longer.

Where does it go in my routine?

Last of your skincare steps — after cleansing, toning and serum, morning and night. In the daytime, follow with SPF.

Is it suitable for eczema-prone skin?

The brand states it is dermatologist tested and suitable for eczema-prone skin. If your skin is actively flaring, patch test on a small area first.

What figures does LANEIGE publish?

In the self-reported half of a four-week trial covering 32 women aged 20 to 49, by week four 96% described skin that looked softer and smoother with more resilience, 90% agreed it felt as though the moisture barrier had been repaired, and 90% agreed dryness-induced itchiness eased. The same trial saw 87% agree dryness-related flakiness was relieved. The brand also reports, from tape-stripping hydration analysis, 15 extra hydration layers so skin retains moisture for longer, and from instrumental TEWL and tape-stripping testing on the same group, moisture barrier repair within 30 minutes. All figures are from the brand's own testing — individual results will vary.
