When they set their sights on a beauty product, Korean women often set the tone for the rest of the world. It must be said that Korea remains at the forefront of cosmetics innovation, well ahead of many other countries.
Indeed, K-Beauty is a global phenomenon that has revolutionized skincare routines. Originally from South Korea, she stands out for her meticulous and holistic approach to skincare, aiming to achieve healthy, luminous and naturally beautiful skin. This movement quickly spread thanks to the rise of social media and the influence of Korean pop culture, including K-pop and K-dramas.
One of the particularities of K-Beauty? Her famous multi-step ritual of sometimes up to 10, which includes specific products like oil-based cleansers, toners, serums, essences, sheet masks and sunscreens.
This time, it’s a cream based on hyaluronic acid and rated 100/100 on Yuka that everyone is raving about.
A Korean cream that makes skin soft and smooth
In just a few months, a Korean brand has become a pioneer in K-Beauty. This is LANEIGE, renowned for its expertise in hydration. The brand already has cult products like Water Sleeping Mask.
But it is with the Water Bank Creamthat LANEIGE continues to explore the powers of deep hydration. It even makes a bold promise: providing 100 hours of continuous hydration. Yes, you read correctly, 100 hours! This flagship treatment does not just hydrate the skin on the surface… It plumps, softens and firms in depth, leaving the complexion visibly transformed. But what is his secret?
At the heart of its formula is a star ingredient: blue hyaluronic acid, a unique version of this hydrating active ingredient, fermented twice with fucoidan. Thanks to its low molecular weight, it penetrates the deep layers of the epidermis, ensuring intense and lasting hydration. This advanced hyaluronic acid is combined with a Pepta-Panthenol complex, reinforced with cholesterol and fatty acids, which helps rebuild and protect the skin barrier. Result ? Visibly smoother, more supple and radiant skin.
But LANEIGE’s expertise does not stop there. The cream is enriched with restorative oils which not only nourish the skin, but also repair the skin barrier and support the production of ceramides. These essential lipids act as a protective shield against external aggressions and loss of hydration.
What are the benefits of hyaluronic acid for the skin?
Hyaluronic acid is a powerful moisturizer that locks water into the skin, plumping it and smoothing fine lines. It strengthens the skin barrier, protects against external aggressions and promotes healing. Gentle and non-irritating, it is suitable for all skin types, including the most sensitive. Thanks to its moisturizing action, it helps balance sebum production, leaving the skin softer, radiant and protected.
