Water is the base of most skincare products. It's a solvent, which means it dissolves and carries other ingredients into your formula. It also hydrates skin on a surface level, though that hydration doesn't last long once the product dries down.
The water in your moisturizer or serum isn't doing the heavy lifting on its own. It's there to make the product spreadable and to help active ingredients work. Think of it as the delivery system. Your skin needs water, but a humectant like glycerin or hyaluronic acid will actually pull moisture in and hold it better than water alone.
