What the gurus are saying

This moisturizer earns consistent praise for balancing hydration with a surprisingly lightweight texture that still feels nourishing and creamy. Gurus highlight that it layers beautifully without pilling, absorbs well, and works as an effective all-rounder for mixed skin types, though one notes a fragrance ingredient that may not suit everyone. At $16 for 50ml, it lands as an exceptional value for the performance it delivers.

"I tried the Bubble Slam Dunk Hydrating Moisturizer too. These are all fairly lightweight, like they're not super rich thick creams, but this one I would say is a little heavier than the others. It's got shea butter in it and no niacinamide in this one either."

"For moisturizers I really like [...] Bubble Slam Dunk Hydrating Moisturizer."

"It's much thicker, feels more nourishing. I'd rather use this one in the winter time when I want a thicker moisturizer. It rubs in really well, doesn't pill, layers well with serums and subsequent sunscreens. Skin feels nice and silky smooth. I have to give this one an 8 out of 10. [...] Bubble did a good job with this one. No niacinamide in this one, [...] but that avocado oil I think is working really nice in this moisturizer."

"In terms of price, this is a full size 1.7 ounce, 50 milliliters, and retails for 16 bucks, really good deal in my opinion. [...] It's a decent option for dry but not super sensitive skin. If you have acne-prone or oily skin, there are a few similar alternatives [...] that are upwards of $200, so it's interesting to see this one at 16 bucks. It still has that fragrance ingredient in there. [...] In terms of Bubble's products, it's not my favorite. I gave it a six to seven out of ten."

"The Slam Dunk Hydrating Moisturizer feels like [...] a heavier cream. This one I personally prefer because I like heavier moisturizers. If you have drier skin, this is something that's going to be for you."
✓Yay
"If you want a creamy moisturizer that bursts into hydration on your skin, I honestly think the Bubble Slam Dunk is more hydrating than Laneige. [...] This is a very, very surprisingly hydrating and very refreshing on the skin while still maintaining a richness and a creaminess and a moisturizing, comforting feel on the skin, with a little bit of occlusivity to hug everything in. But this is still a medium to lightweight type of cream."
Top Pick: hydrating moisturizer
✓Yay
"Their slam dunk moisturizer is this really weird in-between lightweight but also nourishing for dry patches. It has aloe leaf juice, [...] avocado oil which is a nice antioxidant, glycerin which is nicely hydrating, and evening primrose oil which is nicely soothing. Even with oily T-Zone, it [...] feels nice and more like a gel cream - very light, very nourishing, very hydrating. [...] It's a really nice all-rounder."
✓Yay
"Bubble is really affordable and fun and donates to Teen Mental Health. I love the application of the Slam Dunk Hydrating Moisturizer [...] because it gives you the perfect amount every time. [...] The gel is almost more clear, it's very stringy and it has high water content."

"Bubble, the Bubble Moisturizer. If you want during the day you can use the gel one and you can use the moisturizing one at night. That's another great option, but it's technically fragrance free. Now I do believe it has geranial or limonene in it so just be aware of that."

"You know how when you sit down on a really great couch and you just kind of sink in but there's a little bit of bounce to it? [...] That is exactly what this is for skin.

✓Yay
"This moisturizer has glycerin, a great ingredient for hydrating the skin, [...] avocado oil, another ingredient great for nourishing dry skin, and right after it [...] shea butter, a great ingredient for really moisturizing the skin. So [...] this moisturizer definitely has ingredients that are great for dry skin."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
