Sort of, but don’t throw away your retinol just yet. Water fills out the skin, which temporarily smooths the appearance of fine lines. Think of it like a dry, crumpled paper towel versus a wet, flat one. The wet one looks smoother.
It won’t erase deep wrinkles from a lifetime of sunbathing or frowning at spreadsheets. But it makes your skin look bouncier and more youthful. A lot of “tired-looking” skin is really just “thirsty-looking” skin. Game changer.
Plus, hydrated skin is more resilient. It heals faster from small cuts, sunburns, or that time you tried a new face scrub that was way too aggressive. Please don’t ask how I know that last one.
