What they liked

Keeps skin hydrated and dewy all day
Sticky finish helps makeup apply and stay put
Works well under makeup as a primer

What they flagged

Leaves skin feeling tacky even without makeup

What the gurus are saying

This cream holds moisture exceptionally well throughout the day thanks to polyglutamic acid, an ingredient that grips four times more water than standard hyaluronic acid, leaving skin noticeably plumper and dewy. The whipped gel texture works for all skin types and doubles as a makeup primer, though it does leave a sticky, tacky finish that some may find uncomfortable without makeup. The hydration truly lasts all day rather than fading, making it work equally well as a daytime or nighttime cream.

"Whilst it's not anything revolutionary, the Glow Recipe Plum Plump Hyaluronic Cream is basically one of the best ever plumping hydrating moisturizers I've ever used, both for the feeling of deep hydration and the look of plumper, more hydrated skin. It's perfect for my combination skin, with my oily skin benefiting from the humectant while it's nourishing enough for my drier cheeks. It also contains polyglutamic acid, which I personally prefer to standard hyaluronic acid."

"This is a really, really nice daytime cream. If you really want your skin to feel quenched and hydrated for a long time, not just when you use the product but all day, this is a perfect product to go for. I'd actually say this is a better night cream than their actual night cream because it just feels thicker and still more nourishing and hydrating overnight. And not only does this hydrate, but it does leave you with a dewy glow."

"I love Glow Recipe, and the Glow Recipe Plum Plump Hyaluronic Cream is on another level with glowing skin and hydrated skin, which is kind of what they do best. You get that really good dose of deep hydration and really good dewy glow, and your skin feels hydrated. The [...] gel cream consistency works great as a super lightweight moisturizer for oily skin, but it's comforting, moisturizing, and hydrating and nourishing enough for those drier patches as well."

"I love the Plum Plump Hyaluronic Cream, I think it's a beautiful nourishing moisturizer, great for dry skin without being heavy. It really works year round, and I like that it's in refillable packaging. [...] This specific bouncy gel cream texture is kind of all over K Beauty too, so if you like the glow recipe one it's fine to stick with it, it's a great product, but it's far from the only product with this texture."

"This product will plump your skin like a dream if you want that plumpness and that youthful look. This one has five different types of hyaluronic acids, but this one contains polyglutamic acid. This ingredient is very similar to hyaluronic acid but it holds on to four times more moisture than hyaluronic acid, so we have two ingredients here that will plump and hydrate. I feel like because of that polyglutamic acid ingredient, this just takes your skin to the next level in terms of plumpness."

"Oh my god this is one of the best fluffy cloud to watery gel squalane creams, this has my face scream we want squalane cream, I love this so much. It smells divine so do keep in mind that this product has a fragrance in it. [...] This plumping cream, I tried to like avoid this, I was like I'm not going to spend my money on it, I saw all the hype around it, but then they did better and they blew my mind and my wallet right open. This is so good, it is dewy, moisture and plump."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
