What the gurus are saying
The silicones give this serum a silky, breathable texture that absorbs quickly without feeling wet or sticky, while a light occlusive effect gently seals in hydration from products underneath. Brightening actives like niacinamide and licorice root make it worth considering if you have dark spots or uneven tone. At under twenty pounds, it works well for sensitive, dry, or combination skin, and won't block other treatments from sinking in.

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

Tranexamic acid has a growing body of clinical evidence for melasma and the stubborn patches of pigment that other ingredients struggle with.

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.
