I go to Sephora every year to pick out my free birthday gift. If you're a part of Sephora's Beauty Insider, you can choose between select makeup product(s) or skincare product(s) as a free birthday gift. Some of the best skincare brands are often available, and Laniege is one of them.
I chose three of Laneige's bestsellers: the Water Bank Moisturizer Cream, Water Sleeping Mask, and Lip Sleeping Mask. After trying these Laneige skincare products daily for three months, they're now a staple in my everyday routine. The Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, in particular, is a cult favorite our beauty team also loves.
Laneige is a Korean-owned skin and makeup brand that believes water is the best recipe for hydrated and healthy skin. Its products consist of hydro-ionized mineral water, green mineral water, and white tea leaf water.

I don't usually buy skincare products because of my sensitive skin, so I started out safe using Laneige's Lip Sleeping Mask, not just at night but throughout the day. I really liked how it left my lips feeling soft, hydrated, and shiny. This small jar comes with 0.7 ounces of product and contains hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and antioxidants.
I decided to try out the Water Bank Moisturizer Cream next. I fell in love with the cream's lightweight formula and its subtle fresh scent. It also left my oily/combination skin feeling moisturized the whole day.

The moisturizer's key ingredients are hyaluronic acid and green mineral water. Laneige's website describes the product's formula as "extracts to help strengthen skin's moisture barrier."
After a positive reaction to the Water Bank Moisturizer Cream, I decided to try the Water Sleeping Mask. Laneige describes it as "a hydrating gel mask that quickly absorbs while you sleep."

After applying the mask to my face, my skin immediately feels hydrated. This is a once or twice-a-week application with 2.3 ounces of product, which is the perfect amount to tide you over for a while.
The bottom line
After consistently using three of Laniege's bestselling products for three months, my lips are moisturized, and my skin is hydrated and glowing. I feel like I got a good amount of product per jar, with all of them lasting me from October through February. My favorite products are the Lip Sleeping Mask and the Water Bank Moisturizer Cream, so I plan to stock up on more.
I recommend Laneige's products if you're looking for a simple and hydrating skincare routine.
