Laneige new and improved Water Bank range

Say bye-bye to stubborn dryness and hello to moisturised skin with the new and improved Water Bank range by Korean cosmetics brand, Laneige. The best-selling moisture care range has been altered to bring you 8 time more moisturising power- and just in time for summer too!

Does it work? To show us how the products worked, Laneige held an event in Singapore where using a machine, our skin was tested for dryness levels before and after we applied the Water Bank products. To our surprise, our skin tested 2 times more moisturised than before we applied the products – where as some other women’s skin moisture levels were multiplied by 3 or 4 times – showing that the range indeed does what is says on the tin.

Asian skin: After extensive research, Laneige has discovered that Asian women are born with skin susceptible to dryness. Why? Because they have naturally weaker skin barriers that get easily damaged by external stimulation (heat, humidity, air-con), making the skin extremely prone to moisture loss. However, not to fear ladies as the new water bank range combats dry areas so that your skin recovers its natural power to stay hydrated. The range comes in 5 effective products infused with special minerals (such as Hyro Ion Mineral Water) that promise  24 hours of pure moisture care.

The new improved range includes:

Water Bank Essence (approx. USD48 for 60ml): The best selling moisture essence adds much-needed moisture to the skin instantly after application. The product promises 24 hours of intense moisturising while also cooling your skin on hot summer days.

Water Bank Eye Gel (approx. USD40 for 25ml): The eye gel nourishes the skin under the eyes, relieves unwanted stress and tired-looking bags whilst also refreshing and brightening the area.

Water Bank Gel Cream (approx. USD 42 for 50ml): For normal to combination skin, the gel cream smooths the skins surface and adds a subtle cooling effect-perfect for hot and humid weather.

Water Bank Moisture Cream (approx. USD42 for 50ml): For dry to combination skin, the moisture cream soothes redness and dryness, absorbing in to the skin without leaving any sticky residues.

Water Bank Double Gel Soothing Mask (approx. USD27 for 5 sheets): With the key ingredients being great tea and chamomile, the gel masks soothes and cools the skin relieving unwanted tension- perfect for the the ultimate at-home spa session.

What more? We also love the new sleek blue packaging which adds a touch of summer to our vanity table.

Laneige Water Bank range will be available from July 2014 at all Laneige boutiques and counters.
