Aquaporin-Activating Water Cream — Glyceryl Glucoside + Beta-Glucan + Niacinamide for Bouncy, Plump, Glowing Skin
Dr.Jart+ Vital Hydra Solution Hydro Plump Water Cream 50ml is the moisturizing seal step of the Vital Hydra Solution Hydro Plump System — a lightweight, cloud-textured water cream that delivers the line's signature aquaporin-activating Glyceryl Glucoside in a richer active matrix alongside Niacinamide, Adenosine, and Beta-Glucan, locking in the deep cellular hydration initiated by the Treatment Essence and building visibly bouncier, more volumized, luminous skin over time.
As with the Treatment Essence, Glyceryl Glucoside is the mechanism-level hero — upregulating aquaporin-3 expression in skin cells to enhance the skin's intrinsic water transport and retention capacity at the cellular level. Here it is paired with Saccharide Isomerate (NMF-mimicking carbohydrate for persistent moisture binding) and Sodium Hyaluronate for immediate surface plumping to create the same comprehensive hydration architecture in a cream format, with the added occlusive element of a featherlight silicone emollient base to seal and sustain moisture through the day.
Beta-Glucan is a standout addition at this step — a polysaccharide derived from oats or yeast with a dual role: as a powerful humectant that holds many times its weight in water for deep, sustained moisture delivery, and as a skin immunity-modulating active that strengthens the skin's natural defense response, reduces redness, and promotes wound-healing and cell renewal. Its inclusion alongside Glyceryl Glucoside creates a synergistic hydration-plus-strengthening effect that goes beyond standard water cream formulas. Niacinamide contributes barrier reinforcement and skin tone brightening alongside the hydration complex, and Adenosine adds anti-aging elasticity renewal for a comprehensive multi-benefit moisturizer rather than a single-function hydrator.
The texture is defined by Phenyltrimethicone + Vinyl Dimethicone + Dimethicone — a triple silicone emollient system that gives the cream its signature water-gel bounce and cushiony glide without any heaviness or occlusive residue. Polymethylsilsesquioxane (a soft-focus silicone microsphere powder) creates a pore-minimizing, skin-blurring finish that makes this cream as enjoyable as a primer to apply. Caprylyl Glycol provides gentle antimicrobial preservation support. Note: this formula contains fragrance.
