How we score →Yay
14 experts · Strong agreementWhat the gurus are saying
Rich and thick but not sticky is the trade gurus keep describing, and it's why this cream wins over very dry, eczema-prone skin. The catch is the weight: the pump gives up as the bottle empties, and combination skin can get congested outside winter. One voice calls it safe but not special. Smoothing it on slightly damp skin after a quick shower is the tip offered.

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.

Ceramides are part of the skin's own barrier, and moisturisers built around them have evidence for holding water in and settling the tightness and flaking that come with a damaged barrier.

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.
