10 experts · Strong agreementWhat the gurus are saying
This serum earns consistent praise for the instant dewy glow it creates on skin, though opinions split sharply on whether that shine is a strength or a deal-breaker. Those who love it prize the luminous, reflective finish and its sticky texture, which works beautifully as a makeup primer because foundation grips to it so well. However, some find that same stickiness and glossy appearance suffocating to wear all day, and a few feel the shine reads more reflective than genuinely flattering. The niacinamide and hyaluronic acid support hydration and oil control across skin types, though experts note the formula does more than many people may need, and the price point (£33 for 40 ml) sits high for what amounts to a glow booster rather than a targeted treatment serum. Fragrance is present and strong, so anyone sensitive to scent may want to sample first.
