What it is
Choose from three types of moisture barrier to achieve your perfect skin*1! ▼About "Blue Hyaluronic Acid*2," a common ingredient in the "Water Bank" moisture-saving series: 1. Supports the skin's moisture barrier by 300%*3. Developed through a secondary fermentation process based on Amorepacific's 38 years of hyaluronic acid research, "Blue Hyaluronic Acid" is a unique ingredient with faster penetration*4 and higher moisturizing power than regular hyaluronic acid. It offers 300% more effective care than conventional high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid, supporting the moisture barrier of skin damaged by dryness and UV rays. 2. Low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid, up to 1/2000*5 in size, penetrates the stratum corneum 264 times*3 faster. Micro low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid, reduced to up to 1/2000*5 in size through a 10-stage filtration process, penetrates deep into the stratum corneum 264 times*3 faster. It thoroughly balances the skin's moisture and oil levels, leading to moisturized, radiant skin. ▼ Choose from three different moisture barrier creams with different textures and effects to suit your skin condition and preferences. This moisture barrier cream allows you to achieve your "best skin ever"*1 every day with confidence.

It leads to supple, radiant skin. ・It balances the skin's moisture and oil levels to prevent excess sebum production. It contains skin-conditioning ingredients "Mentha arvensis leaf extract" and "Wakame seaweed extract," which balance the skin's moisture and oil levels, protecting the skin from dryness and irritation and preventing excess sebum production. It controls the moisture barrier for oily skin and inner dry skin, which are prone to oily and shiny skin.

I absolutely love this product. I've already used up three bottles. I have sensitive skin. 1) I'm sensitive to citrus fruits and other irritants. 2) I tend to get small whiteheads on my chin during my period. 3) My T-zone tends to get shiny in the evening, but my cheeks get dry. 4) Oil-based products, especially those with super moisturizing properties, clog my pores. 5) I'm allergic to the popular needle-based products and retinol. 6) I'm also sensitive to alcohol. My skin is sensitive to these things. I first tried Laneige's Lip Sleeping Mask and it worked. I had just run out of the foundation I was using, so I bought a cushion foundation to try, and it was surprisingly good for me. So I decided to buy this Water Bank Gel Cream. What I value most is that it's non-irritating, doesn't cause whiteheads the next day or two or three days later, doesn't clog pores, and doesn't interfere with makeup application after skincare. Since it's a gel cream, I initially worried that it might affect my makeup, but it worked fine for me. The first photo shows my bare skin, untouched. The second photo is after applying lotion, serum (Laneige), and then this gel cream. This one didn't irritate my skin, which was great. Since I started using it, my T-zone isn't as shiny in the mornings. It also reduces the whiteheads I get on my chin during my period. The gel cream contains small white bumps. You're supposed to crush them as you apply it, but I want to avoid irritating my skin as much as possible, so I rub them with the pads of my fingers and then gently blend them into my skin. If you have sensitive skin like me, it might be worth giving it a try.
It's a gel cream with small particles inside. It feels a little harder, or maybe bigger, than the capsules in Innisfree's Vita C Gel, so I can feel the small particles when I apply it to my skin. The moisturizing power is just about right...it's neither good nor bad, so I think I'll go back to Innisfree's Vita C Gel next time.
It has a unique smell, but it's not too strong. I like that it doesn't dry out my skin even in cold weather!
It's refreshing yet moisturizing, making it perfect for hot weather. A small amount goes a long way, so it's good value for money. It doesn't have enough moisturizing power in the dry season, so I'll add some cream.
This refreshing cream blends seamlessly into the skin. It's moisturizing yet not heavy, making it easy to use in your morning skincare routine. I felt it was easy to incorporate into any season. In the winter, I tend to have combination skin, even though I normally have normal skin, and I find stickiness bothersome, but this cream didn't leave me feeling sticky.
