How we score →Yay
5 experts · Moderate agreementWhat 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.

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