"This one I feel it's quite hydrating and plumping. My critique for the Mineral 89 OG is that yes it is great for sensitive skin but I didn't find it as plumping as say the La Roche Posay Baume B5. This one though is a little bit thicker and more plumping and I love that it has niacinamide in it and it's accessible at your local Target or online."

Skincare Secrets to Manage Crepey Skin from a Dermatologist

"You can employ hyaluronic acid and your moisturizer to help temporarily plump your skin if you want to plump in the skin and hide those fine lines of wrinkles. Instead of doing an invasive procedure like filler where you inject hyaluronic acid or a biostimulatory product into your skin you could just apply Vichy Mineral 89 Prebiotic Recovery and Defense Concentrate which is with niacinamide as well [...] onto any area and then follow up with a moisturizer with peptide"

"Vichy makes a great mineral 89 hyaluronic acid. I'm using their Prebiotic concentrate. They have special ferment from the volcanic water, but there's also niacinamide in it, which is a vitamin B3 analog that we all love. I don't really care for niacinamide serums that are 10% or more, those are too high. We only need small percentages of niacinamide for it to work, help brighten the skin, help regulate sebum production, and soothe the skin, and it's anti-inflammatory. This one's a nice one."

Super dry, post treatment skin that is sooo rude to your makeup

"I'm going to go in with a little bit of the Vichy, [...] I think it's the hyaluronic acid serum but it's just for your eyes. I just happen to have this one, just a teeny bit right on this so that I'm really getting that hyaluronic acid deep. I'm going to take whatever's left over underneath my eyes."

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.
