May irritate sensitive skin

What the gurus are saying

This serum's high concentration of hyaluronic acid plumps skin and smooths fine lines, and it includes occlusive ingredients like dimethicone to lock moisture in. Most people tolerate it well, though some find hyaluronic acid irritating. The main caveat is the price, at around $72, it costs significantly more than other hyaluronic acid serums that do the same job.

"Hyaluronic acid [...] targets the stratum corneum [...] to help hydrate [...] the skin, plumping up skin cells and smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines. Some people find hyaluronic acid products irritate their skin, but otherwise it's very well tolerated, and this has occlusive ingredients like dimethicone to help trap the moisture in. But for the love of all things, do not pay 72 dollars for a hyaluronic acid serum, that is pretty pricey."

What the evidence says.

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

Urea

Urea both holds water in the skin and gently loosens dead surface cells. At higher strengths it has good evidence for very dry or thickened skin.

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.
