Are Water Creams a fad or do they have a lasting value? (self.skincareaddiction)

I have recently tried a water cream for the first time and I really like it. It's light but does really seem to hydrate my problematic skin. For me, the value is not feeling weighed down and oily, especially with this summer being so hot. But since water creams seem to be a new product (am I wrong on this?), I am wondering if this is a fad. Should I be stocking up on my new favorite cream, or is this here to stay?

As far as I understand it, a "water cream" is just a water based moisturizer without oils which is possible because of advancements in technology. They are definitely here to stay! As you say, they are perfect for oily skin or when you just don't need something heavy like during the summer.

I'm interested to hear which moisturizer it is that have become your new favorite! Personally I'm about to try the "Neutrogena Hydroboost Gel Cream Moisturiser" which I've heard a lot of good things about. My current moisturizers feel a bit too heavy during the summer.

I didn't want to sound like an advertisement for the product which is why I didn't mention it. I am using the Klorane water cream and I really like it. I think these water creams are the new way to go for the face. I'll be trying a SPF one soon.
