What the gurus are saying

A cream that feels like a gel is the hook here, and it soaks in fast without weighing down oily, breakout-prone skin. Gurus like that it's free of niacinamide and artificial fragrance, plays well with other actives, and works morning or evening, with one to two pumps covering face and neck. Not everyone is swept away, though: one take says it doesn't live up to the dreamy name.

    "I've tried some of their products and they're actually pretty good. I haven't had an issue with any of them. They've got a nice lightweight moisturizer here, the Cloud Surf Water Cream, and it does not have niacinamide if you are sensitive, which I know many are."
    ✓Yay
    "If there is a teenager who is oily, struggling with acne and needs a moisturizer that works with almost any other active, this is it. [...] When they launched this Cloud Surf, oh my God, it's squirting, this is the best. This is like a cream that feels just like a gel. Do you see how lightweight and hydrating that is? It soaks in like a dream. Again, it's artificial fragrance free. You can use this morning or evening. Such a beautiful formula. [...] I absolutely love this."

    "This right here is the Bubble Cloud Surf Water Cream Moisturizer, super lightweight, great for anyone who's about to break out. But if you want something a little bit more hydrating, they even have like other moisturizers. And the other thing about this brand is that they actually care about teen mental health, they literally donate to mental health initiatives."

    "Some of the natural ingredients are questionable, not always backed up by a lot of science, but that doesn't mean that they don't work. [...] Overall as a moisturizer it does a great job. For £16 I think it's decent. A little bit goes a long way, one to two pumps usually is fine for my face and neck. [...] For summer this is going to be perfect, or just as a daytime moisturizer or even in the evenings when I just want to moisturize my skin."

    "I also think the name Cloud Surf is insanely cool I love clouds I would like to be a cloud I love to Surf I wish the product lived up to the name"

    "I prefer the water cream moisturizer."

    What the evidence says.

    Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

    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.
