What the gurus are saying

This serum earns consistent praise for its hydrating texture and barrier-support blend of goat milk, ceramides, and CoQ10, though one expert warns it may sensitize skin when layered with retinoids. The main split is on value: some gurus love it enough to repurchase with their own money, while others find comparable hydration at lower cost elsewhere. Those already using retinoids may want to patch-test first or space applications apart.

"I tried Beekman 1802 a long time ago, and I see what people like about the brand, but I also find them to be a difficult brand for me to use. I noticed that anytime I used my retinoids and then used the Beekman products, the next day just felt more sensitizing. I don't know if it's something to do with the goat milk, or just a me thing, but a lot of people really do like the Beekman 1802 serums. I still do like their body care though."

"This was also gifted to me along with the sunscreen. It's not worth buying in my opinion at a price point of 45 dollars ordinarily, but it is a good product. It has willow bark extract, which is anti-inflammatory, and colostrum, goat milk, and milk proteins, which in theory may be natural sources of lactic acid and moisturizing. It also has one of my favorite antioxidants, ubiquinone, or CoQ10, plus ceramide, which is helpful for the moisture barrier. I've tried this out, it was not 45 dollars good, but it was not bad. Personally I prefer and see better results in terms of hydration with the Timeless CoQ10 serum I use every morning, so I've stuck with that. It's not a bad product, it's good, it has beneficial ingredients, it's hydrating, but it's not like 45 dollars good. Even with the sale I would not buy this myself because the Timeless product is already doing for me what this might provide."

"Beekman 1802's Milk Drop Ceramide Serum is a lightweight ceramide product I love [...] for when the weather gets [...] warmer and I don't want to layer thicker ceramide creams. It's designed to hydrate and strengthen your skin barrier with goat milk, ceramide, squalane and hyaluronic acid. It's not too greasy but not too lightweight either, so you get the nourishment you want from a ceramide product."
