What they liked

Smooth, non-sticky texture

What they flagged

Moisturising effect fades after 5 to 10 minutes
May not be enough for a compromised skin barrier

What the gurus are saying

The formula goes on smoothly without feeling sticky or dry, and contains several solid moisture-boosting ingredients like glycerin, shea butter, and oat extract. However, experts found that despite the long ingredient list, the moisturizing effect fades quickly, leaving skin feeling like it needs more hydration within minutes. That means those with dry or compromised skin barriers may want to layer it with another product or consider a richer alternative.

"The Face Moisturizer was one of the most popular products at launch, but looking at the ingredient list, nothing really stands out. I remember them really trying to push this kiwi thing, like every brand had their thing at the time, and Kylie Skin was really trying to push kiwi for some reason. The products weren't bad but they weren't great. Critics labeled the brand as just overpriced Instagram skincare with no real science behind it, felt it was an obvious money grab that was just rushing out some basic formulas."

"It goes on quite smoothly, it's not drying, it's not sticky, it's not tacky, it's a neutral smell, smells very silky. [...] There's [...] silicone in there, which is not bad for the skin. You've got some nice sheer butter in there, glycerin, [...] a little bit of cocoa peptide which is a trending ingredient, sweet almond oil, oat brown extract, all of these things are pretty good. [...] You've got some citrus and orange peel extract in there which helps balance out the smells. Overall it's not a terrible product, it's full of kind of nice moisture-boosting ingredients, but what I noticed is that after about 5 to 10 minutes it doesn't feel moisturized. I feel like I need more. So I think that there's some great ingredients in here but they're probably not, there's a lot of ingredients in here but [...] I don't think it's [...] enough for the skin barrier."

What the evidence says.

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

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.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
