An extra dose of protein can make all the difference, be it in your morning smoothie or your moisturizer. Packed with peptides (the building blocks that make up protein, they're tried-and-true anti-aging ingredients), this works on lines, wrinkles, spots and other annoying imperfections you want to get rid of. Also nice: You can use it on its own or add a dollop of it to any other cream, serum or oil you like.
As soon as you apply this water cream to skin, it bursts into water droplets. And not just any old H2O at that; we're talking mineral-rich water from a pristine island in South Korea. Couple that with reservoir technology that slowly and gradually releases hydration as you need it and this is one mega-pleasing moisturizer.
It's hard to decide what we like more: The unique (and spillproof) solid texture that quickly transforms into a lightweight liquid or the trio of champagne, yuzu extract and probiotics that work to balance, even out and soften skin. Thankfully, there's no need to choose.
Hyaluronic acid reigns supreme among hydrating ingredients. The molecule attracts water to the skin and can hold up to 1000 times its own weight in water, for an instant hit of hydration (and skin plumping benefits, too). This newbie contains not one but two kinds of the powerhouse, which work both above and below the surface of the skin. Bonus points for the featherweight feel, ideal for anyone who doesn't like thicker formulas.
Talk about an interesting ingredient story. The water in this moisturizer comes from a secret spring in Hungary's Carpathian Valley, where the Earth's crust is the thinnest, allowing water to absorb a maximum amount of minerals. Combine that beauty-boosting water with nine different botanicals and a triple lipid complex and you've got yourself a moisturizer that not only hydrates but improves texture and tone, too.
