Early verdict · Few reviews so farWhat the gurus are saying
Watery on the pour, plump on the skin: a single layer feels like three, with a pearly glow that never turns greasy. The 50 peptides, NAD+ and PDRN are the anti-aging pitch, and the gurus who tried it love it. The caveat: very dehydrated skin may want a more hydrating toner, and reactive skin should patch test first because of the alcohol.

Nothing. None of the experts who reviewed it raised a problem.

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.
