This is a holy grail product, period.

I am a 41 y/o guy who has always taken great care of my skin, but hate fussy regimens. My boyfriend does slugging morning and night with Eucerin - which I tried twice, but I couldn’t handle the greasy, shiny, sticky feeling. I looked like I was completely greased over by 10am, and I hated how it stuck my skin to my pillows at night.

Now, I wash my face, spray on Magic Molecule, let that dry down, apply serums, and before they dry (I let them get to about 50% dry), I squeeze out about an inch of Water Lock and put it all over my face - under eyes, lids, brows - all of it.

I am less than 1 tube down, and have lost my: forehead wrinkle from questioning everything always, my smile lines, and the crinkles I was starting to get every time I smiled for photos. I have a 2nd tube waiting for me, and hope to never be without this product.

Non-greasy, matte, breathable, and SERIOUSLY over-performs. My face feels as soft as it did in high school. Definitely recommend- thank you for making this!! ❤️

Purchasing obscure moisturizers in hopes of finding one that's just a little bit better than the next has been a little monthly dose of excitement in my life the last few years. I still might do this just for fun but I feel that my search for the perfect moisturizer is over: It's Water Lock. It has everything: A thick feel that spreads easily and sits super light and non-shiny but also still feels like it's keeping your skin hydrated seriously 24 hours later. I'm happy using this as much as for a daytime moisturizer as for a heavy night cream. I got to preview the product this summer but it seems like it would be the perfect winter moisturizer too. I may use other moisturizers just cuz it's fun but I will always have a tube of Water Lock within reach moving forward.

I have spent an embarrassing sum of money on skincare, and always find myself kind of waiting to run out of night cream so I can try something different. Then I took a flyer on Water Lock and it changed everything. This stuff Water ROCKS amirite.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry for that pun.

Seriously, it goes on luxurious and for a second - just a second - you think, "Aw this is going to feel greasy and unpleasant." But then, almost before that thought has fully formed, you actually feel it start to settle. It finishes light and sits matte against my skin. Almost immediately - like within days - I've noticed my skin feels firmer, happier. It feels like Water Lock upleveled my entire nighttime routine. It's made every product I use hit harder. All their effects seem to have scaled.

Buy it immediately and then congratulate yourself for breaking the cycle of abuse between overpriced/undereffective skincare and your bank account. You're welcome.

To the folks at Protocol: bless you

Living in Colorado, I've struggled with keeping my skin hydrated in this dry climate. Water Lock has been a game changer, it's so lightweight and not greasy at all. It has transformed my nighttime routine, leaving my skin plump and thoroughly moisturized by morning.

Beyond moisturizing! Protocol never misses. I am forever a superfan. And I don’t really ever write reviews. These products literally changed my skin!!!
