Finding the right moisturizer is a bit like finding the right trainer—one that’s no-nonsense, delivers fast results and doesn’t weigh you down. Peter Thomas Roth’s new Water Drench Hyaluronic Jelly Moisturizer does just that. The latest launch from the powerhouse American skincare brand proves once again that results don’t require gimmicks just solid science.
At first glance, the formula might seem too light to do much. The weightless, cooling jelly texture absorbs almost instantly, vanishing into the skin without a trace of residue or shine. But what it lacks in heaviness, it makes up for in hydration. Powered by a 30 per cent hyaluronic acid complex, the moisturizer draws in moisture like a sponge, plumping the look of skin and visibly reducing pores. Think: fewer breakouts, less midday shine, and smoother texture—all with no Instagram filters required.
Then there’s the brand’s new skincare tech, HydraFence, an ingredient that helps provide hydration while strengthening and smoothing your skin. In a clinical study, it provided up to 48 hours of hydration with effects that stuck around even days after the last application. Aloe vera and citrus water round out the formula, calming irritation and tackling redness—an ideal move for skin that’s easily thrown off by shaving, sweat and pollution. Water Drench is also fragrance-free and non-comedogenic, so it won’t irritate your skin or clog your pores and using it twice daily, morning and night, is all it takes.
Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Hyaluronic Jelly Moisturizer, $68 for 50 ml, available at Sephora.
