Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Cream Moisturizer — Reddit Reviews
by Laneige
Updated October 29, 2026
Hyaluronic acid cream hydrates dry patches and tret flaking; fragrance and breakouts divide.
What the community says
A cream moisturizer built around glycerin, squalane, panthenol, ceramide NP, and hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, with enough cushion for dry, tret-treated skin. Fragrance and reported closed comedones make it a risky buy for reactive or breakout-prone faces.
What this means for you
What people love
Watch out for
- Fragrance is obvious; rosacea users report burning
- Closed comedones and breakouts show up for some users
- Jar empties quickly for the price
