"The Saie Glowy Super Gel in Starglow is so fabulous, [...] you can use it as a primer too, but it's so good at the very end of your makeup, just tap a tiny bit onto the high points of the face for added magic and glow, especially for summer. [...] It's such a good multi use product."

"I have tried mixing this color in with my IT Cosmetics CC cream in shade fair as well as the new double serum foundation by Clarins. And this actually worked really well. It did deepen it up. It does add a little bit of more glow to your skin, but it's a good way without having to purchase another foundation. You can also just use this on its own all over your face as that complexion product just to give a little bit of color and that glow to the skin."

"I picked this up on a whim a while ago, maybe at least two months ago at this point, and I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not, but I actually ended up really really loving this and it's been a part of pretty much all of my makeup routine since I bought it. It's a flexible product. This is a pearlescent shimmery gel type of product. It can be used like a liquid highlighter. You can also use this as a full face primer to give a little bit more of that dewiness to your base makeup."

"Saie has their Super Dewy gel, an illuminating liquid highlighter that my medical assistants are absolutely obsessed with."

What the evidence says.

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

Alpha hydroxy acids

Alpha hydroxy acids loosen the bonds holding dead cells at the surface. The evidence supports smoother texture and more even tone over time, and they can leave skin more sensitive to sun.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

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.
