What they flagged

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

What the gurus are saying

This deeply hydrating cream earns praise for its luxurious texture and ability to visibly smooth fine lines and dynamic wrinkles, making it especially helpful for dry skin seeking extra nourishment. The formula works well alone for anti-aging support or paired with retinoids and other treatments, since it strengthens the skin barrier while delivering wrinkle-smoothing ingredients. Those using stronger actives may want to layer it as their moisturizer base to help their skin tolerate the rest of their routine.

✓Yay

"This is a deeply hydrating moisturizer that really helps for all skin types but especially for dry skin that want extra nourishment. [...] I find it's really important, especially as we get older, to use an extra nourishing moisturizer to help to support that process. I honestly think this is a moisturizer that can be used alone to tackle signs of skin aging and to support skin rejuvenation."

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.

Vitamin E

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.
