What they liked

  • Lightweight gel cream, very hydrating
  • 5% niacinamide in a stable cream formula
  • Fragrance-free

What they flagged

    Nothing. None of the experts who reviewed it raised a problem.

    What the gurus are saying

    The 5% niacinamide concentration in a cream formula earns praise as a difficult formulation to pull off successfully. Gurus found it hydrating despite its lightweight gel texture, with centella's anti-inflammatory compounds adding a soothing edge. The formula is fragrance-free and draws no complaints from those who tested it.

    "This is Haruharu Wonder Centella 5% Niacinamide Radiance Gel Cream. Like the name implies, it has 5% niacinamide, a reasonable percentage strength for achieving things like improving dark spots, redness, the moisture barrier, anti-aging, skin yellowing. Also has compounds from Centella. Centella's botanic extracts do have anti-inflammatory properties, soothing. I really like the texture of this. It was a nice lightweight gel cream, but very hydrating. Great. No complaints about this. Fragrance-free."

    "I have not minded this at all. 5% niacinamide is still a reasonable percentage strength, fragrance-free, has squalane which is an emollient, also has panthenol which is very moisturizing, asiatic acid and madecassoside, again compounds from centella helpful for healing. I genuinely have found this to be a pleasant lightweight hydrating gel moisturizer. If you have really oily skin, you don't like heavy moisturizers, or you're someone whose rosacea is precipitated by using really heavy occlusive moisturizers but you still need a moisturizer to address your skin barrier issues, this would be a good one to consider. Is it the best moisturizer I've ever used? No, but I have pretty high standards. This is a good facial moisturizer, it's not like mindblowing, but I'm happy to use it. I have also tested out using this a fair amount on my body, arms and legs, actually a really good body moisturizer as well. I'm almost finished with it and I'm happy to use it."

    "My recommendation number five Haru Haru Wonder Centella 5% Niacinamide Radiance Gel Cream. Oh my god. 5% Niacinamide formulate in a cream is difficult."
    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.

    Vitamin C

    Topical vitamin C is an antioxidant with reasonable evidence for dullness and uneven tone. It breaks down in light and air, so how a product is formulated and packaged matters as much as the percentage on the front.

    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.

    Source: DermNet

    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.
