Beautycounter’s Mighty Plump Ceramide Water Cream, made with two forms of hyaluronic acid plus barrier-protecting ceramide, is my newest skincare must-have for filler results – without the filler!
This past summer, Beautycounter delivered with exciting product launches that feel like they were hand-picked for people like me, struggling with my exact skin issues (I’m looking at you, dark spots and fine lines). Even with years of using high-quality, safer products, and supporting my skin with from the inside out, my skin has naturally begun to show signs of age-related changes.
While this is 100% normal and expected, I won’t lie, I have considered going above and beyond skincare solutions, and have done a little research on things like fillers and Botox for myself, though I haven’t pursued anything just yet.
Imagine my excitement when Beautycounter launched a product that seems to be tailored exactly for me to support skin elasticity and address fine lines.
I know there are a lot of different skincare products you can use, and you might be thinking, “Do I really need one more thing?” I was personally very content with my current morning skincare routine, and you probably know how I feel about my beloved night cream, but yes – I did need this.
Well, “need” is a strong word, but in the scope of skincare products you can pick to incorporate into your routine, the Mighty Plump Water Cream would be pretty high on my list of products to incorporate.
Here’s a bit more about what it is and how to use it!
Beautycounter Mighty Plump Ceramide Water Cream Review
Key Ingredients
This weightless water cream is made with two forms of hyaluronic acid for intense hydration and an immediate plumping effect:
- Sodium Hyaluronate: Helps to improve the appearance of elasticity
- Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate: Acts as a flash filler by decreasing the appearance of wrinkles
What are ceramides?
Ceramides make up 50% of the upper layer of the skin and are the skin’s natural moisturizer. They keeps skin smooth and supple, prevent skin from losing water, and promotes skin’s barrier health (prevents moisture from escaping and protects from environmental aggressors like pollution and dry air from damaging your skin).
How To Use the Mighty Plump Ceramide Water Cream
This can be used in addition to or in place of your current moisturizer, but I find it plenty hydrating on its own. The recommendation is to apply in the morning to take advantage of immediate plumping benefits, however you can use it at night as well. This moisturizer does not contain SPF, so don’t forget to apply facial sunscreen after applying the water cream.

FAQs about Water Cream
WHAT IS A WATER CREAM? IS IT AS HYDRATING AS A REGULAR CREAM?
A water cream is a bouncy, weightless formula that feels cushiony upon application, delivering a rush of moisture and visible smoothness.
WHAT SKIN TYPES IS THIS GOOD FOR?
This product is suitable for all skin types, especially those concerned with fine lines and wrinkles.
HOW OFTEN CAN/SHOULD I USE THIS MOISTURIZER?
Use daily. Massage a small amount into your face, neck, and décolletage with gentle upward strokes.
DOES IT HAVE A SCENT?
It’s scented with a refreshing aquatic blend of crisp water fruits, sea salt, and delicate violet leaf. I think it smells lovely!
HOW DOES IT FIT WITHIN MY EXISTING ROUTINE, AND WHAT IS THE ORDER OF APPLICATION?
This is a protect step (step 4) that would be used as the last step in your regular skincare routine, just before SPF.
WHY USE THIS PRODUCT INSTEAD OF OUR OTHER CREAMS?
This product is for anyone who is concerned with fine lines and wrinkles, and interested in an immediate plumping effect. Mighty Plump Ceramide Water Cream can be used in place of or interchangeably with the current moisturizers in their routine.
The formula is like a “watery” cream. If the Supreme Cream is buttercream frosting, this is mayonnaise!
Final Thoughts
The verdict on if I love a product is a combo of: do I like how it feels, how it smells, and how it works. This new water cream gets a triple yes. It feels SO soft going on and after application, it smells light and refreshing, and the results over time are compounding. While I can’t say my face is flawless (that is not human!), I also can’t say how it might look if I’d been stuck on a desert island for months with nothing to use either. My guess is much worse (and let’s not test that hypothesis, haha).
Beautycounter has a 60-day return policy, so you should give this cream a try!
