Lightweight and refreshing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gel has a very light, see-through texture and a subtle, fresh, powdery scent, making it perfect for hydration without feeling cloying or heavy on the skin. I like that it is easy to apply; there is no need for an applicator or anything of the sort, just press and you're good to go. Also, its packaging makes it easy to take with you for travel. I've noticed that some of the light expression marks from smiling have disappeared after some applications, thanks to the Hyaluronic Acid. It has been refreshing and moisturizing for my dry skin so far! I usually apply it after my serums as the next step in my day and night routine.

Lovely and soooo smooth!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great packaging and the smoothest nicest consistency! Feels lovely and cooling when it is applied to the skin. There is no stickiness, and it makes your skin feel very smooth. Unfortunately not the best for my particular skin type as I prefer a dewier finish. It also smells nice and light!

Eh

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is okay. I didn't find it to be particularly hydrating on my skin and had to layer another moisturizer on top of it. I have sensitive skin and it didn't bother me.

Hi there! Thank you for sharing your feedback! We are so pleased to hear that the Hyalu B5 Water Gel was gentle on your sensitive skin. Because this formula is a lightweight water-gel designed for immediate plumping and a cooling effect, those with drier skin types often find it works best as a 'hydration booster.' Layering it under a richer cream is actually a great way to lock in the hyaluronic acid for long-lasting moisture!

Misleading

Described as alcohol free,yet fourth ingredient in formula is denatured alcohol. Would expect better from La Roche.

Smooth n refreshing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product has a cooling effect when you put it on which i really enjoy definitely help your face wake up and it doesn’t feel sticky and give you this smooth effect like if your wearing makeup primer on Which I like and it does has a scent to it but not to overwhelming so that good because I’m sensitive to smells. It didn’t cause me to breakout so that good and the packaging is good size that you can travel with it. I just wish it was bigger I already ran out lol .

Good lotion but scented

The lotion works very well and is highly recommended, but in the promotional materials I reviewed before purchasing I did not see mention of fragrance and thus assumed it was fragrance free. Very disappointed at the strong scent, which because on my face was constantly present. Cannot use again. Let me know if you make a fragrance free version.

Hello Peter L! We appreciate you sharing your honest review. We are pleased to hear the Hyalu B5 Water Gel worked well for your skin, but we sincerely apologize for the disappointment regarding the fragrance. We include a light, fresh scent in this formula to enhance the application experience, but we understand that fragrance preferences are very personal. While this specific Water Gel is not fragrance-free, we recommend our Toleriane Double Repair Moisturizer, that helps repair skin’s natural protective barrier after 1-hour and provide up to 48-hour hydration. We hope you give it a try, and we will also be sharing your feedback with our Manufacturing teams.

Uniquely Textured Matte Gel

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was pleasantly surprised by LRP Hyalu B5 Water Gel. Its name is a bit of a misnomer as the texture is nothing like your standard moisturizing gel. The texture is thicker and absorbed beautifully leaving my skin looking and feeling silky soft. I have combo skin and found the formula really minimizes my pores and textured areas of my skin. My fine lines are less noticeable any rosacea is less angry. I will note that there is a bit of a fragrance and it does linger.

My skin is combination so this works great for me. I love that is has hyaluronic acid as an ingredient. When applying in the morning, my makeup applies smoothly after. Love this.

Ultra-light gel texture – absorbs fast, no sticky

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like how lightweight it feels on the skin. It leaves no sticky or greasy feeling. My skin feels instantly hydrated and smoother after applying. It’s also good for normal to sensitive skin. It’s very gentle on the skin that causes no breakouts or acne. Calm the redness right away if your skin is irritated by the cold weather.

Not for my combo skin

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn't like the smell of this, it's very floral and hard to get past. The gel-like consistency is nice and made my skin look glowy but the absorption was very fast and my skin felt dry after an hour or two. Packaging is good, it feels like a nice product but I think it would be better for oily skin types. My go-to moisturizer the AP+ one.

Lightweight Hydration That Actually Works

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this gel moisturizer for a few weeks now and I really love it. The texture is incredibly light and refreshing and it feels like a cool splash of hydration on my skin without being heavy or greasy. It absorbs quickly and leaves my face feeling soft and plump without any sticky residue. After about a week of consistent use I noticed my skin looked smoother and more radiant. It layers beautifully under makeup and does not pill at all. There is also a subtle cooling effect that makes it perfect for both morning and night routines. My skin tends to get dry and dull especially during seasonal changes and this provides just the right amount of hydration without feeling like a thick cream. If you have extremely dry skin you may want something richer at night but for everyday lightweight hydration this is an excellent option. I would absolutely repurchase.

It applies smoothly and evenly. The smell is clean, refreshing and slightly floral. I have ultra dry skin so this is a like not a love for me. It hydrates and smells fantastic but it leaves my skin just wanting a litttlllleeee more moisture.

Long-Lasting Weightless Hydration

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This moisturizer is chef’s kiss. The La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Water Gel is incredibly lightweight, absorbs instantly, and gives my skin the most beautiful hydrated glow without feeling greasy or heavy. It feels cooling and refreshing the second it goes on, making it perfect for both morning and night. My skin looks plumper, smoother, and more balanced, and it layers beautifully under makeup—no pilling, no shine, just healthy-looking skin. I also love that it hydrates deeply without clogging pores or irritating my skin, which is a huge win for sensitive skin. If you want long-lasting hydration with a fresh, weightless feel, this is 100% worth it. It’s become a staple in my skincare routine and one I’ll absolutely repurchase.

It has that dimethicone-like silkiness to it, which visibly smooths over minor imperfections. I don’t find this water gel to be the most hydrating formula I have encountered, but it does feel nice on the skin and it pairs well with foundation. I’ve found that I prefer to apply a very hydrating serum or even a thin layer of a more hydrating moisturizer, allowing that to absorb into my skin for ten minutes or so, then applying this gel as more of a primer. This allows my combination-dry skin to get the moisture it needs, and my foundation to have a lovely, smooth base to lay atop. Also, I want to note that though fragrance in skincare does not bother me or my skin, if you are sensitive to it then this may not be the product for you as it does contain fragrance and it is quite potent.

Hello kara_renee87_9831! We appreciate your thoughtful feedback on the Hyalu B5 Water Gel and are pleased to hear that its silky texture provides such a smooth canvas for your foundation. Your approach of using it as a specialized "primer" layer is an excellent tip for those with combination-dry skin, as it allows you to benefit from the mattifying and pore-refining properties of the formula while ensuring your skin receives the deeper moisture it needs from your initial layers. To maximize the plumping effects of the Hyaluronic Acid within the gel, ensuring your base layers or serum are applied to damp skin can help the formula trap and hold that essential hydration more effectively. We also value your honest observation regarding the fragrance intensity, as this is important information for our community members who prioritize scent-free routines. Thank you for incorporating our dermatological expertise into your daily beauty ritual and for sharing your unique application method.

La roche-posay

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Water Gel is hands-down the best I’ve tried. The texture is incredible — it’s a super light, almost watery gel that absorbs instantly with zero greasiness or sticky residue. It leaves a soft, matte finish that actually helps control shine throughout the day, yet somehow keeps my skin feeling plump and hydrated. The inclusion of hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5 (panthenol) really delivers on the plumping promise; my fine lines around the eyes look smoother. The gel moisturizer is pleasant to apply. It's not greasy and doesn't leave a thick residue. It absorbs almost immediately upon application. It doesn't interfere with how my makeup wears through the day and I think it even adds a slight bit of 'grip' similar to a primer.

Great for oil or combo skin

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great moisturizer for oily skin, skin that sweats a lot, or combination skin. The texture is a slightly thick gel, it's easy to apply, and it absorbs really well into the face, leaving a matte finish. It doesn't feel heavy or leave any residue on the skin. I can use it under makeup and it works perfectly.

Lovely scent and lightweight

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love La Roche-Posay products but unfortunately this one would be towards the bottom of my list. The reason for that is the price point; although a little seems to go a long way, the size of the bottle is small, with lots of air space to boot. Directions say to use AM and PM, it would seem like it would get used very fast and that could get pricey. Second reason is it pills, I barely rubbed my face and it balled up. Reasons why I am not giving up on it- product does mattify my oily skin. It also seems to make my pores look a bit better along with my skin overall.I also would like to try this for even longer because the skin benefits seem pretty good from what it says its capable of. It is also very light weight, so huge plus! I really like the scent and dont mind smelling it often. It's clean and fresh. I would use this product daily at home. I most likely would not use it out due to it pilling.

Hello saraca30b_8765! We appreciate your loyalty to our brand and your balanced perspective on the Hyalu B5 Water Gel. It is great to hear that the formula is successfully mattifying your oily skin and improving the appearance of your pores, all while providing a scent you find clean and fresh. We understand your concerns regarding the value and the pilling you've experienced; this "balling up" can often happen with gel-based formulas if they are applied over other products that haven't fully absorbed or if too much is used at once. Since a little goes a long way, we suggest using a pea-sized amount and pressing it into the skin rather than rubbing, which helps the hyaluronic acid and mattifying agents set into a smooth film without pilling. Applying it to slightly damp skin can also help the product spread further, which may help extend the life of the bottle. We are glad you are giving the formula more time to show its full skin-improving benefits, and we value your feedback as it helps us refine the experience for our community.

Unique product but not a fan of the scent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The best way I can describe this moisturizer is its as if you combined a puddle of cool water with a silicone-based primer. The feeling of the silicone eventually goes away as you blend and it feels like its melting into water. Definitely mattifying but not as hydrating as my usual daily moisturizer. Unfortunately there is also a very strong scent, and I opt for skincare products with little to no scent/fragrance.

Hello daniegiane_2822! We appreciate your unique and descriptive feedback on the Hyalu B5 Water Gel texture. We designed this formula to offer that specific transformation—from a structured gel to a refreshing, water-like sensation—to provide a weightless and mattifying finish for those who prefer to avoid a greasy feel. We understand that for someone accustomed to a more emollient daily moisturizer, this gel might feel less hydrating, as its primary focus is on delivering hyaluronic acid in a breathable, oil-absorbing format. Regarding the fragrance, we hear your preference for scent-free skincare and acknowledge that the aroma in this specific product is quite distinct. To help the hydration feel more substantial, you might consider applying it to very damp skin, which allows the hyaluronic acid to bind with more water as it absorbs. Your honest insights regarding the sensory experience and the hydration level are very helpful as we continue to cater to different skin preferences.

Mattifying and Smooth

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Water Gel Moisturizer does a great job of hydrating the skin. I have what I’d consider normal/combination skin so I do lean more towards glowy moisturizers. Since this moisturizer has a mattifying effect, I think it would be great for oily skin when worn by itself but I’ll be using it under my makeup when wearing a full beat. It minimizes the appearance of pores and fine lines with a blurring effect on the skin which gives you a smooth base to apply foundation. It’s lightweight and squeezes out of the tube like a gel; has a nice clean and fresh scent too. Skin-loving ingredient callouts: hyaluronic acid and panthenol for moisture maintenance and BHA for gentle exfoliation.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s not my first time using a La Roche product. And I’m a fan! It has a lightweight, refreshing texture that absorbs quickly and hydrates without feeling heavy or greasy. My skin feels smoother and more comfortable after using it, and it layers well under makeup. While it’s not rich enough on its own for very dry skin, it’s a great daily hydrator for normal to combination skin. Gentle, effective, and easy to use.

This mattifies in the best way! It blurs fine lines, pores & imperfections, yet it still lets the natural gleam of your skin peak through just enough & provides a healthy plump. This is perfect for wearing alone & especially good for wearing as a primer, underneath makeup for a flawless base. My skin loves this!

Not for me

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s just okay to me. It’s a gel based moisturizer and is very lightweight. I have dry skin, so this did not work for me. It had a weird cooling/minty effect for some reason. I think other people would really enjoy this, but it just wasn’t for me.

Reply from Consumer Care Center 02 February 2026

Hello miab9_6922! We appreciate you sharing your thoughts on the Hyalu B5 Water Gel. This specific formula is designed with a lightweight, breathable texture to provide an immediate cooling sensation, which can be very refreshing for many, but we understand it might feel unexpected if you were looking for a traditional cream experience. Because gel-based moisturizers are typically more suited for normal to combination or oily skin types, they may not provide the rich, lipid-replenishing moisture that dry skin requires to feel fully comfortable. If you still have some of the product, a great way to make it work for dry skin is to use it as a hydrating "booster" layer underneath a thicker, more emollient cream to lock in that hyaluronic acid without losing the richness your skin needs. Your feedback is very helpful as it highlights how important it is to match the right texture to each unique skin type.

Not for my skin type

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unfortunately, once I realized it contains fragrance and alcohol, I personally felt hesitant to continue using it. My skin is very sensitive and tends to react to those ingredients, so I didn’t feel comfortable taking the risk long-term. That said, I can see this working well for someone who doesn’t have sensitive skin and prefers a light, hydrating gel rather than a heavy cream. The formula seems refreshing and would probably suit normal to combination skin types better or maybe even oily. Overall, it just wasn’t the right fit for my skin, but it may work nicely for others with less reactive skin.

Hello jm48_5520! We appreciate your cautious approach to skincare, as we know how important it is to be mindful of ingredients when managing very reactive skin. While we include specific types of alcohol and fragrance in this formula to ensure a refreshing, lightweight texture and a pleasant application experience, we understand that these can be personal points of concern for those with heightened sensitivities. This water gel is indeed formulated to offer a breathable, non-greasy option for those with normal to combination skin who want the plumping benefits of hyaluronic acid without the richness of a traditional cream. For those with a more fragile skin barrier who still wish to use a gel, we always suggest introducing the product slowly and applying it over a simple, soothing serum to provide an extra layer of comfort. We value your feedback on who this product might best serve, and we are here to help you find a more suitable, fragrance-free alternative from our other ranges whenever you are ready.

Not sure about this one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is interesting. I am not sure I like it, on my face it didn't seem greasy and it seemed to absorbed but thats the extent. The smell wasn't overwhelming but there is one the texture is smooth and gel Iike. I tried both under makeup and with out makeup and both times it sat heavy on my face so all the time I spent finding things that I can't feel totally made me feel like there was something on my face. I think LA Roche Posay has some really good things but this one was not my favorite. This wont stop me from using my other favorite pieces from the brand, just not this specific thing.

Hello suzanneo1_5887! We appreciate your honest feedback and are glad to hear that you will continue to enjoy your other favorites from our range. It is helpful to know that while the gel-like texture and subtle scent were acceptable, the sensation of the product sitting "heavy" on your skin was not the experience you were looking for. This can sometimes occur if the product is interacting with the natural oils on the skin's surface or if too much is applied at once. To achieve a more weightless, "barely-there" feel, we recommend applying a very small amount—about the size of a pea—to skin that is still quite damp from cleansing. This helps the hyaluronic acid and water-gel base to pull into the skin more rapidly and dry down to a smoother, more integrated finish. Your insights are invaluable as they help us understand how our textures perform for those who prioritize a completely weightless feel in their skincare routine.

Lightweight & effective!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Hyalu B5 Water Gel and was pleasantly surprised by how lightweight yet hydrating it is. And a little goes a long way. The formula contains hyaluronic acid to hydrate and vitamin B5 (panthenol) to help soothe and support the skin barrier, which I really noticed when my skin felt tight or dehydrated. The gel texture absorbs quickly and feels cooling on application. It quickly relieves tightness without leaving any sticky or greasy residue. Skin feels smooth, plump, and comfortable after applying, and it layers well under sunscreen and makeup. It does not feel drying at all, even after several hours of wear. And if you have oily skin, this is perfect for you, it reduces shine & excess sebum for a natural matte finish. There is a light, clean scent that fades quickly and hasn’t irritated my skin. Overall, it’s a great option if you want hydration that feels fresh and breathable rather than heavy.

Hello mmlorena__6889! It is wonderful to hear that the Hyalu B5 Water Gel has become such a reliable part of your routine and that it provides the plumping hydration your sensitive skin needs. We designed this lightweight texture specifically to offer an immediate cooling and calming effect, so we are thrilled that it leaves your complexion feeling smooth and comfortable without any heaviness. To further enhance the hydrating benefits of the hyaluronic acid, we recommend applying the gel to slightly damp skin, which helps to lock in even more moisture and supports your skin's natural barrier throughout the day. Since it layers so well under your makeup, you may also find it useful as a hydrating base that keeps your skin looking fresh and dewy for longer. Thank you for choosing us to care for your sensitive skin and for sharing such a positive experience.

The texture was fine, but I found the scent very unpleasant and overpowering for a face product. Personally, fragrance is a deal-breaker for my skincare, especially when it lingers.

Because of this, I wouldn’t repurchase or recommend this product, even though others may enjoy it.

Hello ashleyl16f1_8063! It is great to hear that the Hyalu B5 Water Gel Moisturizer was gentle enough for your sensitive skin and provided a smooth, non-tacky finish without causing breakouts. We appreciate your honesty regarding the matte effect and the fragrance intensity, as we know that the sensory experience is just as important as the dermatological results. For those who find the scent of a product a bit strong, applying the gel to skin that is still quite damp can help the formula spread thinner and allow the fragrance to dissipate much faster as it sets. Additionally, since you mentioned the matte finish wasn't your favorite, you can easily add a boost of radiance by layering a drop of facial oil or a hydrating serum underneath to give the skin a more dewy glow while still benefiting from the hyaluronic acid. Your feedback is very helpful to us as we work to balance high-performance hydration with the diverse preferences of our sensitive skin community.

My skin feels hydrated, smooth, and balanced all day. I highly recommend this product for dry and combination skin types. I received this product complimentary for testing purposes and I’m basing this off a 10 day test.

I had to wash my face after using this product because it was so strong of perfume that it was making me nauseous. I don’t understand why you need to add scent into a product, especially one that is as strong as this.

Perfect water gel moisturizer for combination skin

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this facial product from Influenster in exchange for my honest review and opinion of the product. I've tried other La Roche-Posay products and this is one of my favorites. I have combination, acne prone skin and this has many skincare benefits with hyaluronic acid. Vitamin B5, and BHA which is a bonus. It is very mattifying, leaving my skin soft and supple without being overly greasy. It has a nice scent, but isn't overly scented and make my pores appear non-existent. My fine lines looks smoother and my skin more hydrated and plump, making makeup look more flawless overall when I choose to wear it (I don't everyday). I love how silky and lightweight it feel when putting it on, and as long as it doesn't make me breakout which it is non-comedogenic and has been tested on sensitive skin (sometimes new products take time to see the effects on my overall skin) this will be my new go-to product, especially when wearing makeup, it almost looks and feels like a primer.

Great for oily skin, matte texture

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really liked enjoyed this hydrating gel. The texture is such a nice matte for wearing during the day under makeup. My face doesn’t get oily, nor does it effect the wear of my makeup. Although it isn’t the most hydrating product out there, my skin seems to stay sufficiently hydrated during the day. If you have normal to oily skin I think this is a great daytime product.

The best!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] La Roche Posay Hyalu B5 Water Gel has been a great new skincare product in my daily routine. This is some intense moisturizer right here and it smells great too! I have been using this for just about a month now and I love it. Just a little product, goes a long way! It rubs in so effortlessly and leaves my skin feeling so soft and fresh. I can tell that my pores are far less noticeable. I will be 40 soon and I have noticed, after using this, that some of my fine lines and wrinkles are starting to smooth out. With consistent continued use, I think my skin will improve and benefit even more. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves their skin!

Amazing product !!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love this !! I really loved the gel-like consistency !! It works great and did not cause me to have any break outs !! I've been using this for weeks now and I've had absolutely no problems !! It also works great under makeupand it does exactly what it says it's going to do. I will say though it has a light scent, so if you don't like scented products...... this might not be for you.I personally enjoyed it !! It was definitely not overbearing in any way !! It's definitely a great product !! It absorbed quickly and left my skin moisturized I've already looked into buying another bottle !! A++

Hydrating

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hydrating, lightweight gel that plumps and smooths skin . I love that has hyaluronic acid and B5—great for daily moisture and a fresh, dewy look.

Lightweight hydration that actually feels refreshi

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you want that “fresh drink of water” feeling without ending up shiny an hour later, this Hyalu B5 Water Gel is a really solid pick. The texture is a true water-burst gel that feels instantly cooling going on, then sinks in fast and leaves your skin soft, bouncy, and comfortably hydrated with a light finish. What I like most is how balanced it feels. It gives that plumped, hydrated look you want from hyaluronic acid, but it still wears nicely during the day and layers well under sunscreen and makeup. On me, it helps my skin look a little smoother and more “blurred” around the pores without feeling heavy or greasy. It is one of those moisturizers that makes your face feel calm and refreshed instead of coated. A couple of notes: if you are very dry, you might want something richer at night or you can layer a cream on top. If you are combo or oily (or just hate thick moisturizers), this is the sweet spot. Overall, it is an easy, reliable daily moisturizer that feels high-end and makes your skin look hydrated but matte not glossy. My only gripe is the scent - I just find it completely unnecessary and too strong.

Scented

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The texture is very nice. Reminds me of a silicone makeup primer. Goes on smoothly and skin does feel more moisturized. You don’t need a lot of product to cover your face so even though the bottle is small, it should last a while. However for me, it’s not something I’ll use regularly or repurchase. There is a strong perfume/fragrance that takes a while to dissipate. I don’t like fragranced skincare personally.

Hello rachels266_2696! We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the smooth, primer-like texture of the Hyalu B5 Water Gel and that you found the formula to be highly efficient, needing only a small amount for full coverage. We specifically engineered this water-gel to provide that weightless, smoothing effect that makes it a favorite for both hydration and as a base for other products. We certainly understand your preference for fragrance-free skincare, as we recognize that many of our consumers find a strong scent to be a significant factor in their daily routine. While this formula is designed to offer a fresh sensory experience, we appreciate your feedback on the duration it takes for the scent to dissipate. To help the fragrance fade more quickly, warming the gel between your fingertips for a few seconds before pressing it into your skin can sometimes help. Your input is vital in helping us balance high-performance hydration with the diverse sensory preferences of our community.

Good product but like other brands better

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the shape of the bottle and the brand in general but feel this product wasn't a FULL 5 stars for me. I felt it doesn't last super long though I can definitely feel it hydrating. Maybe the texture with it being more gel lile than creamy? I think it works and do like it but to me I lile kiehls better so 4/5

Smells amazing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This produce by La Roche Posay is a great one for the price. The moisturizer is light, and has a strong ocean scent. It absorbed quickly and didn’t leave any residue.

Holy grail alert!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm in love with this moisturizer! It feels so nice on my skin, not heavy at all. It's very lightweight and mattifying, which is good for my combination skin. Alot of moisturizers break me out but I've been using this for 2 weeks and my skin is glowing. This is the first time I've used a gel and I am definately immpressed, a little goes a long way!! Also this moisturizer does very well under makeup!!
