What they flagged

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

What the gurus are saying

This serum delivers a gentle bronze glow without looking overdone, and reviewers found it applies smoothly without the flaking or caking that sometimes plagues similar products. It works well on days you want a light luminous finish, or mixed into foundation for a softer effect, though not many gurus have tested it yet, so there's limited perspective so far.

"A lot of people who use this find that their makeup starts getting very cakey and flaky and the product gets dry and kind of crusty. I've tried this and I reviewed it, I didn't experience the crusty flaky stuff with it, but I have tried others similar to this because there are a lot of these types of products, [...] and I have encountered the flaky stuff with others. This is a new product in that line and [...] it's a primer serum now. It is tinted, but it's kind of tinted."

"I really like this one. It [...] gives your skin kind of a nice bronze glow that's not like over the top. [...] I kind of like it, it gives me a little bit of glow which is fine on days I'm not using a tinted sunscreen or anything like that or mixing in a bronzer. It feels really nice."

What the evidence says.

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

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.

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.
