Overview
Not all moisturizers work or feel the same. Case in point: Water gel moisturizers can be uniquely satisfying to apply, melting onto your skin with a cool, refreshing feel. Beyond the application experience, these formulas have a host of benefits to offer.
CeraVe’s Hydrating HA Water Gel harnesses the power of hyaluronic acid—an ingredient capable of holding over 1,000 times its weight in water1—and helps plump skin and turn it into a moisture magnet. The formula also features CeraVe's new breakthrough Ceramide Booster Technology. Its three skin-identical ceramides help repair the skin barrier within 1 hour and lock in hydration for 72 hours.
Ahead, we’ll break down how hyaluronic acid water gels work, what makes this type of moisturizer stand out, and why it might be exactly what’s missing from your daily routine.
