What the gurus are saying

This nightweight cream earns praise for its elegant, nourishing texture without stickiness or heaviness, and for visibly calming irritated and dry skin. The essential oils may trigger breakouts in sensitive skin, however, so this isn't ideal for anyone prone to irritation.

"I loved using that Dermalogica, [...] the texture is absolutely gorgeous and it's chock full of essential oils. But will I repurchase it? No, because I feel like another cream [...] gives me that same really rich sensation. I also [...] had more breakouts on that side, which might be explained by the [...] essential oils in it, since I have a bit of sensitive skin."

What the evidence says.

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

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Alpha hydroxy acids

Alpha hydroxy acids loosen the bonds holding dead cells at the surface. The evidence supports smoother texture and more even tone over time, and they can leave skin more sensitive to sun.

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.
