The luminous, radiant finish is what stands out. It's a genuine glow that doesn't look greasy or tacky, which experts really appreciate as a tricky balance to hit. The formula hydrates and stays lightweight with sheerer coverage that layers nicely, and the product stays gentle on skin. That said, the price is steep, so best to swatch before committing if budget is a concern.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.
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.

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

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.
