REVIEW : LANEIGE Water Bank Gel Cream

Price - RM120
Where to buy - Laneige in Parkson/Jusco
Skin type - Combination, Normal Skin




LANEIGE's water bank gel cream is made for combination to normal skin. Moisturisers in the market these days tend dry out easily, or are just mediocre in keeping the moisture of your skin and most barely absorbs into your skin. However, you will be amazed by this little jar of surprise. We were taken aback by its ability to do whatever it says it does. To lock up moisture on the skin.

When we first tried it on, the cream felt light and pretty non existent on the skin even in an instant. But we knew we had to be out on our daily routine to test it out. After about 6 to 7 hours, when our skin would be feeling dirty and oily. Our skin felt still fresh and bouncy, like as if we had never gone out of the house. It locks up moisture so well your skin wont dry out over time. This would be perfect for winter, one of our reviewers used to had skin peeling on her cheeks even everyday at work due to the air conditioning and her dry skin condition. But her skin has improved so much after trying this out. Redness from the peeling is calmed down as well.

The gel cream mainly gives the skin a more dewy look and keeps oily skin away. If the density is not enough for you or it feels still too liquid, you could try the "Water Bank Moisture Cream". We felt that worked out the same way, but it has a thicker consistency, more of a cream. 




The product comes in a 50ml jar and with a spatula as pictured above. We highly recommend you to use the spatula as dipping your finger into the jar every time is not as hygienic. This will last you a good 2 to 3 months even with everyday use. However its a setback that it does not come in smaller sizes and for travel it is not as convenient. *Useful tip, to use your contact lens to keep your moisturiser for travel*

Directions : After using your cleanser and toner, scoop the cream w/ a spatula. Dot your face with it and then gently spread. Plus point* : A good toner will help to absorb the moisturiser into your skin better. 

This review is made after 5 months of everyday usage. We fell for the product's water bank line as it was perfect for our tropical weather. Its non sticky and absorbs so well into your skin, we recommend it so much for summer !

Verdict - Locks moisture perfectly. Will definitely get a second jar.
