LANEIGE | Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Intensive Moisturizer | 50 mL
Deep Nourishment for a Strengthened, Comfortably Hydrated Barrier
The Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Intensive Moisturizer is LANEIGE's richest moisturiser in the Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic collection — a balm-cream formulated for sensitive and extra dry skin, built around the brand's proprietary micro-sized Blue Hyaluronic Acid technology alongside Squalane, an Omega Peptide Complex, and purified Cica actives.
Blue Hyaluronic Acid is known for its ability to absorb better and faster than standard hyaluronic acid, delivering intense, lasting hydration. Combined with a nourishing emollient base of Squalane, plant-derived triglycerides, and Ceramide NP, the formula provides meaningful support to the skin's moisture barrier without a heavy or occlusive finish.
The cream is dermatologist-tested and suitable for eczema-prone skin, making it one of the more considered options in the LANEIGE range for those managing persistent dryness, sensitivity, or a compromised barrier.

Key Ingredients
Blue Hyaluronic Acid (Micro-Sized Hyaluronic Acid)
Hyaluronic acid is a moisture-binding ingredient found naturally in the skin, well established in skincare for its ability to help the skin appear more hydrated and plump. LANEIGE's Blue Hyaluronic Acid is a micro-sized form of the ingredient, processed to a smaller molecular size.
This micro-sizing allows it to absorb better and faster, delivering intense and lasting hydration more effectively than standard hyaluronic acid formats.
Omega Peptide Complex (Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2)
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that serve as the building blocks of key skin proteins. Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2 is a peptide that may help support skin elasticity and firmness, and acts as an excellent moisturiser.
As part of the Omega Peptide Complex, it helps improve the appearance of skin elasticity and nourish the skin's moisture barrier — contributing a skin-conditioning dimension that extends beyond hydration.
Squalane
Squalane is a stable, plant-derived emollient that closely resembles the skin's own natural sebum. It is lightweight, non-comedogenic, and widely used in skincare for its ability to support the skin's surface lipid layer.
In this formula, it acts as a moisturising ingredient that mimics the skin's natural lipids, helping to seal in hydration and support a smoother, more comfortable-looking complexion.
Ceramide NP
Ceramides are essential lipids found naturally in the skin's outermost layer, where they play a central role in maintaining the moisture barrier and preventing water loss.
In this cream, Ceramide NP works alongside Squalane and the peptide complex to reinforce the skin's barrier structure — particularly valuable for skin that is persistently dry, sensitised, or compromised.
Purified Cica (Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid, Madecassic Acid)
These three active compounds are derived from Centella Asiatica, a plant long used in East Asian traditional medicine. Asiaticoside, in combination with the other active compounds of Centella Asiatica, has been shown to be helpful in supporting skin barrier function and wound healing.
In this formula, they contribute a soothing, calming quality — supporting skin that is reactive, sensitised, or in need of barrier recovery.
Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate
Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate is a probiotic-derived ingredient produced through the fermentation of Lactobacillus bacteria. It is used in skincare for its skin-conditioning and barrier-supporting properties.
In this cream, it contributes to the formula's overall approach to barrier nourishment, helping to support a more resilient, comfortable-looking skin surface.
Texture
The cream has a rich, balm-like consistency that feels substantial on first contact — noticeably more nourishing than a standard moisturiser. It spreads smoothly with gentle warming between the fingertips and absorbs into the skin steadily, leaving a soft, slightly dewy finish without heaviness or stickiness. On very dry skin, it settles comfortably as a standalone moisturiser. For combination skin, it works best in the evening or in drier seasonal conditions.
How To Use
- Cleanse and tone the skin as usual.
- Apply any treatment serums and allow them to absorb.
- Warm a small amount of cream between the fingertips.
- Press and smooth evenly across the face and neck in gentle upward motions.
- Follow with SPF in the morning.
Use morning and evening as the final moisturising step in your skincare routine.
