What they liked

Easily spreadable texture
Works well for some skin types

What they flagged

Expensive for the formula
Not a repurchase priority

What the gurus are saying

The easy-to-spread texture genuinely clicked with one reviewer's skin, and a few gurus appreciated how it performs compared to thicker competing overnight creams. However, at around $75, most felt the ingredient list didn't justify the price tag, finding it pleasant enough to finish but not worth repurchasing. Opinions split on whether the formula truly merits that investment.

"I think when I reviewed it I gave it either a 5 out of 10 or a 6 out of 10 but I ended up kind of liking it more than I initially did and it was expensive enough where I thought I should finish it up. So it's just like a moisturizer I just use as like the last step of my evening routine. It was nice I wouldn't repurchase it but was nice enough to finish."

"I think this spreads a little bit easier than the Drunk Elephant, especially if it's meant to be a nighttime cream. I like the texture of it better. It has a short, simple ingredient list, but I'm a fan of the peptide and the ectoin in this one. I'm a fan of the Resveratrol as well. I think this could be a winner."

"It's a nice cream, definitely not a must have. I will finish this because I spent probably with taxes 75 bucks on it, so I'm determined to finish it up, but definitely not a must have in terms of value and ingredients. It's a bummer, it's a little bit of a disappointment overall. I just expected a little bit more. At least it's hydrating and things like that. It doesn't pill, it's easy to use, so it's got that going for it."

"This is a really interesting moisturizer from Biossance and this is the one that really clicked with me and my skin type and one that I really enjoy using. This is a cream that is really all about repairing, restoring and strengthening your skin while you sleep. You can use this moisturizer during the day absolutely, part of this is just marketing, it's not solely a nighttime cream. The reason why they put overnight in the name is it's about restoring the skin, strengthening the skin, repairing the skin. They're doing that by strengthening your skin barrier but they're also using Ectoin which is an amazing antioxidant. Where it really shines and where it's really unique and how Biossance is harnessing the power of Ectoin is its ability to help your skin not only to help hydrate the skin, like it almost floods your skin with hydration, it really does go into every little crevice and fill every little cell with juicy hydration."

"I feel like I would much prefer to use the Drunk Elephant one see how it goes with that before purchasing this but I do like the Biossance line and I would like to try this but I feel like I'm going to try the Drunk Elephant one first and see how it goes."

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.

Peptides

Peptides are short protein fragments meant to signal repair. The evidence for them is thinner than for retinoids or vitamin C, and it varies a lot by the specific peptide, so the category is more promising than proven.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
