What the gurus are saying

This serum earns praise for delivering hydration without heaviness and tackling dullness, dryness, fine lines, and firmness in one formula. The soy isoflavones and ceramides look promising on paper for moisturizing and reducing oxidative stress, though dermatologists note the price sits high for a drugstore brand, which may give some people pause when weighing the cost against what they're getting.

"This is No7's new menopause skincare line, the Instant Radiance Serum. It has soy isoflavones which may actually help, it has antioxidants, and it also has ceramides, so it kind of looks promising. [...] I kind of want to try it, but it's expensive for a drugstore brand. [...] Topical soy isoflavones may help with a moisturizing effect and reducing oxidative stress in the skin, [...] and they're also good for hyperpigmentation, [...] but man, that's expensive."

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.

Ceramides

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.
