Why Laneige Water Bank Moisture Cream?

Laneige is known for its hydration technologies and this cream highlights its expertise.

Laneige has used hydro-ionised mineral water and a technology that locks in moisture.

And while hydration is the name of the game with this cream, this doesn’t mean that Laneige has left out other actives.

Laneige carefully considers every ingredient it uses. You’ll find everything that’s needed but nothing that’s unnecessary.

Laneige Technologies

Research conducted by Laneige identified that skin hydration issues are often caused by a weakened skin barrier and this causes an accelerated rate of skin ageing. It also found that mineral water can stimulate the skin’s production of natural moisturising factors (NMFs).

After studying hundreds of plants, the R&D team chose those with the highest levels of minerals and developed a unique extraction method called the Ocean Brew Method. Plant extracts are combined with ocean water and ionised at 15 deg. Celsius for five hours. This results in a brew that’s rich in minerals that nourish skin cells and strengthen the skin barrier, leading to more hydrated skin.

Laneige’s Water Zipper Technology creates an imperceptible film on the skin that allows moisture to be trapped without the use of silicones or heavy occlusives.

Laneige Water Bank Moisture Cream Ex ingredients

Green Mineral Water strengthens the skin barrier and helps it naturally retain more moisture. Laneige ionises sea water with green plant extracts that are rich in antioxidants and nutrients. This unique process is based on 25 years of research by the R&D team. The ionisation results in higher concentrations of minerals and antioxidants.

Glycerin draws water into the outer layers of the skin and holds it there. This gentle ingredient makes the skin feel soft and supple.

Squalane moisturises, helps prevent water loss and protects against the oxidisation of lipids in the skin. Peroxidation can prematurely age skin and damage the pore lining, playing a role in acne. Squalane is light and non-greasy.

Glycine soja helps maintain hydration and prevent water loss. It contains a blend of fatty acids that replenish, as well as smooth and soften the skin. Studies have found that isoflavones in Glycine soja help fade the appearance of skin discolourations and reduce the excess transfer of melanin to the skin’s surface.

Garden Cress Extract is an antioxidant that neutralises the damaging effects of free radicals. It’s claimed to be 30% more effective than Vitamin C, although Laneige has also adding some Vitamin C.

Laneige’s ingredient lists sometimes seem simple but it’s what lies behind them that makes all the difference. The brand’s technologies are a distinct part of its success and are a closely guarded secret.

Laneige Water Bank Moisture Cream Review

Absolutely divine moisturiser. It’s luxurious. The texture is amazing. It’s rich without being heavy or greasy at all, and instantly melts and absorbs into the skin. Skin feels instantly hydrated and plump and smooth. Ten out of ten. It is scented, but I adore the scent.
