What the gurus are saying

Two complementary vitamin C forms, an oil-soluble one for penetration and a stable derivative that converts to active vitamin C, anchor this serum, which also features ferulic acid, ectoin for barrier protection, and sunflower shoot extract as an NAD+ booster. The NAD+ claim outpaces current research on topical penetration, though. Experts say it's worth it if you can access it.

"The supporting cast is excellent, with ferulic acid to stabilize and amplify, ectoin for barrier protection, [...] vitamin E, and sunflower shoot extract positioned as an NAD+ booster. The NAD+ claim is ahead of the science though, the research on topical NAD+ penetration is limited. [...] That said, two stable, well-chosen vitamin C forms, ferulic acid, ectoin, no fragrance, this is well-formulated. [...] This is worth it if you can access it, especially if you live in the UK."
✓Yay
"So it is expensive. The positives are it's got [tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate], [ascorbyl glucoside] and ectoin. Remember I told you about ectoin? I love it. It's brilliant if you got dry skin. And of course packaging is great. The downside is there's actually not much else in here. I would say I really like the formula. I really like the packaging, but it is expensive. If you can afford it, get it. But if you can't, we've spoken about other ones in this video that are more affordable."
✓Yay
"So, if you're somebody that is really struggling to get on top of your hyperpigmentation game, you want something that's going to have a real punch behind it to help supercharge it, I think this is worth every single penny. [...] I would say you only need to reach for this if you have very stubborn hyperpigmentation. If you do absolutely give this a go because I think it'll work so so well for you. This is [...] amazing if fighting hyperpigmentation is your number one concern."

"This is stunning because it uses my two favorite forms of vitamin C derivatives in sky high concentrations alongside some calming and soothing ingredients and that NAD which is just going to supercharge the skin. Vitamin C derivatives actually convert to pure form vitamin C in the skin so they're much more gentle, you don't get that instant hit on contact, and so they're great for people with sensitive skin."
