What the gurus are saying
It won't deliver the dramatically different results its name promises. This fragrance-free gel moisturizer works fine as a second layer in your routine, but reviewers found you can get the same or better performance for less money elsewhere. The generous bottle size does offer solid value, though not enough to outweigh the availability of better options at lower prices.

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

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.
