Each day the editors of Yahoo Beauty are sharing one noteworthy product we feel should be on your radar. From the latest and greatest items that land on our desks to indie products with a cool backstory to the old standbys that have earned a permanent place on our vanities, trust us: you’ll want to check them out.

You’ve probably noticed that water is having a long-overdue beauty moment. From micellar waters that make cleansing a breeze to water-based skin care that gives new meaning to moisture, the spotlight is finally on the ingredient that serves as the basis for practically every product around. That said, Vichy Aqualia Thermal Dynamic Hydration Rich Cream ($31) is H20-centric beauty at its best. Forget everything you thought you knew about moisturizer—this stuff takes hydration to a whole new level.

First of all, this cream is seriously smart. The brand combined its widely popular Thermal Spa Water with sugar to create a proprietary formula that evenly distributes hydration to all areas of the face. (Yep, it literally senses and corrects imbalances.) So, if you’re like me and tend to suffer from a flaky forehead but an oily T-zone, the cream just knows to concentrate on the upper half of your face. And, because it’s such an overachiever when it comes to moisture, you’ll also notice that fine lines caused by dehydration will be instantly smoothed and plumped. Welcome to the future of skincare, friends.
