Erborian Water Serum, €29.90, moisturizes 90% of the skin and boosts radiance without oiliness.

Erborian, the pioneer of Korean skincare in France, has just launched a new skincare product dedicated to hydration. This Water Serum promises plumped, luminous and fresh skin, without any greasy film. If you’re looking for the ideal treatment to get you through the summer with a glowy complexion, the answer could well be here.

Erborian and hydration: a new promise for summer 2026

Since its creation, Erborian has established itself as a benchmark in Korean-inspired skincare. The brand is known for its famous CC Crème, a best-seller for 13 years, which offers an immediate healthy-glow effect while caring for the skin. So when Erborian announced a new range dedicated to hydration, attention was naturally drawn.

This new range responds to a very real need: in hot weather, skin dehydrates more quickly. What’s more, rich textures quickly become uncomfortable as temperatures rise. The brand has therefore designed light, effective skincare for summer.

At the heart of this range is a serum with an original texture, somewhere between gel and water. Its formula melts into the skin on application, leaving no residue. As a result, it is suitable for both normal and combination to oily skin types.

A gel-water texture that changes everything

The texture is one of this skincare product’s strong points. It’s ultra-light, fusing with the skin in seconds. Yet this lightness does not affect its moisturizing efficacy.

On contact, the formula provides an immediate sensation of freshness. This is precisely what we’re looking for when the heat sets in. This makes it an easy daily ally to integrate into any beauty routine.

“Its texture between gel and water melts on the skin without leaving an oily effect.”

Key figures for Erborian Water Serum

Water Serum delivers precise results on application. It provides 90% hydration and boosts complexion radiance by 64%. What’s more, it promises moisturized skin for 24 hours.

These figures are particularly useful for dehydrated skin lacking vitality and plumpness. On the other hand, oily skin need not worry: the formula does not accentuate shine. On the contrary, it regulates without drying.

This serum is suitable for all skin types. Dehydrated skin, normal skin and combination to oily skin can all use it without reservation.

• 90% hydration measured immediately after application
• 64% brighter complexion
• Hydration maintained for 24 hours
• Gel-water texture, no greasy feel
• Suitable for all skin types, including combination to oily skin

How do you incorporate this treatment into your routine?

Water Serum is ideally used before moisturizer, as the first step in skin care. For dry skin, Erborian recommends combining it with Glow Moisturizer. For oily skin, the Matte Moisturizer is the recommended combination.

Glow Moisturizer is a 24-hour moisturizing cream with a silky texture. It contains hyaluronic acid and 5% niacinamide, for a glass skin effect without a greasy film. Matte Moisturizer is a mattifying gel-cream enriched with hyaluronic acid and 1% zinc, for long-lasting hydration and an immediate matte effect.

So every skin profile finds its ideal combination among the new Erborian references. The routine becomes simpler, more targeted and more effective.

The active ingredients that make Erborian moisturizer so effective

The Water Serum formula is based on two families of highly moisturizing active ingredients. These ingredients work together to plump skin and smooth dehydration lines. Their combination is directly inspired by Korean skincare innovations.

The first key active ingredient ishyaluronic acid, which comes in 4 distinct types. Each type has a different molecular weight, enabling it to act at different levels of the skin. In this way, hydration is both immediate on the surface and long-lasting in depth.

The second active ingredient is Snow Mushroom, a natural ingredient from Korea. It acts as a natural substitute for hyaluronic acid and can retain up to 500 times its weight in water. As a result, it boosts moisturizing action from the very first seconds after application.

This duo of active ingredients gives Water Serum fast, measurable effectiveness. Skin regains vitality, plumpness and radiance, without weighing down the complexion. Just what you’d expect from a skin care product designed for the long, hot days of summer.
