What they flagged

Contains fragrance despite sensitive focus

What the gurus are saying

This serum's silky texture earns praise for working well on open pores, but fragrance in the formula is a real problem for anyone with sensitive or reactive skin, dermatologists consider fragrance a key irritant to avoid. The formula itself is simple and affordable, so the fragrance choice stands out as an unnecessary risk that overshadows the positives for those who need to be careful about what goes on their face.

"So the key ingredients are just literally water, niacinamide. The only downside with this product is it's not a naive-safe product. It contains fragrance. So even though it's cheap and it's a simple formula, they made a really big mistake by putting fragrance in. So for me, that one's a no."

"This has more of a silicon texture and I quite like it because I feel it's great for open pores"

Translated from the guru's original language.

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.
