Early verdict · Few reviews so far

What the gurus are saying

This water cream absorbs fast and feels weightless, making it a solid pick for oilier and combination skin types who want hydration without greasiness. The hyaluronic acid in multiple forms helps skin hold onto water, which both gurus say translates to better texture and a temporary plumping effect on fine lines. At around 15 dollars per jar when bought as a two-pack, it lands at a good price point for the hydration power on offer.

"Rock Advanced Hydration Plus Water Cream is one of the best water creams that I've used on my skin in a long time. It is lightweight but so hydrating, and [...] there's nothing like this in water cream version. It really hits the spot for my skin with the right combination of elegance, lightweightness, but how rich and hydrating it is. It's a great option for those with oily combination skin to use at night. I love this in the morning."

"Rock has an amazing one, Advanced Hydration Plus, that's only available at Costco. This is like a really hydrating gel cream but very nourishing at the same time. Really ideal for oily combination skin."

"It's going for like 35 to 40 bucks for a pack of two. Great deal. [...] It's very similar but very good. [...] Has hyaluronic acid. It has pro collagen amino acids to support firmness and absorbs really well. Great for those who have oilier skin types, combination skin types. So if you want something lightweight, absorbs very quickly, doesn't have a greasy, heavy feel. This one's going to help plump up your skin with that hyaluronic acid and temporarily hide those fine lines and wrinkles."

"I happen to really like this moisturizer. In addition to hyaluronic acid, it has a marine extract, which is what La Mer is known for using and considered prestige for, but that ingredient is not necessarily rare. It's very beneficial in imparting improved moisture content in the skin's outermost layer, but you do not need to spend La Mer prices to get the benefits from marine extract."

What the evidence says.

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

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
