What the gurus are saying

The serum does deliver a visible glow and glass-skin finish, with hydrating actives like hyaluronic acid and ginseng that reviewers appreciate. However, gurus split on the overall value: some find the luminosity noticeable and worth it, while others feel the glow is subtle enough to disappear under a moisturizer and sunscreen anyway, and at fifty-eight dollars, they'd rather wait for a sale. The mica (a shimmery ingredient meant to catch light) reads more like makeup than skincare to some, which may or may not matter depending on what you're after.

"I just tried the Amino Rain product from Drunk Elephant, with hyaluronic acid in it, and it just really does kind of give you that glass skin appearance."

"This does not feel like a 2025 product to me, it feels like 2023. It's a nice product, I do like the luminosity, you can definitely see it. But at fifty eight dollars I'm just going to have to wait for some kind of sale before I repurchase a product like this."

"It does give your skin kind of a little bit of a glow, but honestly, I'm going to cover this over another moisturizer, a sunscreen, and a foundation or a BB cream. I don't really care if my serum has makeup in it. It does give skin a little bit of a glow, but I wouldn't say much more noticeable difference. [...] For ingredients, we've got [...] poly glutamic acid, which is nice for hydrating skin, squalane, sodium hyaluronate, ginseng. I like ginseng. I'm a big fan of ginseng."

"No. But you know what, I'll probably give it a try at some point. But it is pricey. It's otherwise got ginseng, several amino acids, oat kernel oil. I just don't, I see mica and I think of makeup. I don't think of mica as a skincare ingredient. I think of it more as a kind of a tinting ingredient or a tinting sunscreen ingredient or an eyeshadow ingredient. I don't think of it as skincare."
