Product Description
Filorga Hydra-Hyal Cream Hydrating Plumping Water Cream is a mattifying face gel-cream incorporating a duo of hyaluronic acids to plump and intensely hydrate skin all day long.
With the HYDRA-HYAL range, FILORGA took its inspiration from aesthetic medicine while drawing on nearly 40 years* of expertise in injectables. The brand has incorporated into the HYDRA-HYAL GEL-CREAM a complex that delivers a duo of hyaluronic acids (cross-linked + low molecular weight) to plump and restore skin to its ideal level of hydration while preventing skin ageing. Enriched with a plant astringent active ingredient, the formula is also designed to refine pores and lastingly mattify for a flawless complexion.
Despite being disappointed by my first product from the brand, the Filorga Intensive Revitalizing 3-in-1 Eye Contour Cream, I went ahead to purchase Filorga Hydra-Hyal Cream Hydrating Plumping Water Cream when there was a sale last year. As someone with a soft spot for water-based creams that usually perform well on my skin type, I decided to take the plunge and see if this one could change my mind.

Packaging, Scent and Texture
Filorga Hydra-Hyal Cream Hydrating Plumping Water Cream comes in a 50ml sleek square jar, giving it a premium appearance. While the packaging feels sturdy, the fragrance is noticeably strong with an alcohol undertone, which may be off-putting for those who are sensitive to it.
Texture-wise, this lightweight water cream has a refreshing lotion-like consistency that spreads easily and glides smoothly across the skin, absorbing quickly without feeling heavy or greasy.
How To Use :
Applied morning and evening over the entire face and neck, on its own or after the serum.
Performance and Ingredients
Designed for combination to oily skin, Filorga Hydra-Hyal Cream Hydrating Plumping Water Cream is formulated with a dual hyaluronic acid complex to deliver both immediate plumping and long-lasting hydration. The low molecular weight hyaluronic acid helps visibly plump and smooth the skin, while cross-linked hyaluronic acid provides sustained moisture, supports the skin barrier, and improves elasticity to prevent dehydration throughout the day.
In terms of performance, the cream lives up to its claims of deep yet lightweight hydration, offering a noticeable plumping effect without overwhelming the skin. The formula also includes a plant-based astringent, which is said to help refine the appearance of pores and mattify the complexion making it particularly suitable for oily or shine-prone skin types.
Thanks to its light, refreshing water-cream texture, it hydrates the skin moderately well while leaving it smooth, supple, and more elastic. Throughout wear, my skin never feels greasy or heavy, making it comfortable for both daytime use and layering under makeup.
The key ingredients are...
Low molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid : Stimulates cell proliferation and the production of hyaluronic acid and collagen. Helps to hydrate the skin and provides a plumping effect thus, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Cross-linked Hyaluronic Acid : Forms a protective film on the skin's surface that prevents dehydration. Lastingly hydrates the skin while improving its barrier function and elasticity.
Conclusion
To conclude, Filorga Hydra-Hyal Cream Hydrating Plumping Water Cream may be suitable for combination to oily skin who are looking for a lightweight, hydrating water cream with a plumping effect.
It delivers comfortable hydration, smooths the skin, and helps maintain a fresh, matte finish without feeling greasy or heavy.
That said, for my skin type, the hydration level still falls short, so it wouldn’t be a repurchase for me. Adding on, I don't fancy the heavy fragrance.
Considering the price point, I do expect more in terms of long-lasting moisture and overall performance. While it may work well for those who prefer light hydration in warmer climates, those needing deeper or more sustained hydration may want to explore other options.
