What they flagged

May pull moisture from skin in very dry climates

What the gurus are saying

Amino acids and peptides give this lightweight gel cream versatility across multiple skin types, with oily, dry, and sensitive skin all finding it hydrating without weight. Reviewers consistently praise the refreshing texture and radiant finish. For those in very cold or dry climates, gel creams can sometimes pull moisture from skin rather than seal it in, so this may work best as a warmer-weather option.

"I think I remember trying this Summer Fridays moisturizer before and liking it. One thing about gel creams that can be a little frustrating for me sometimes is that I cannot use these in the colder weather. My skin will be dry, especially with how dry and cold it gets here in New York in the winter, so this is definitely a warmer weather kind of thing. What can happen with some of these gel cream moisturizers, depending on your environment, if you're in a very dry environment and there's no moisture to pull because a lot of these will usually have either glycerin or hyaluronic acid in it, and there's no real moisture in the air for it to pull from, it's going to start pulling that from your skin and you're going to feel dry. [...] I love how these gel creams feel refreshing and cool and very lightweight."

"The Summer Fridays Cloud Dew gel cream which is wonderful, it's 45 bucks so it's still relatively affordable. It's also a great dupe for the Drunk Elephant Protini. In here we've got amino acids, we've got auras, we've got sodium hyaluronic, we've got peptides, we've got Vitamin E."

"I really enjoy this stuff. It's got a wonderful texture to it. It's got several peptides in here as well as a ton of amino acids, it's wonderful for skin. It's fragrance free, cruelty free, and I think it might be vegan. Lovely texture, great one for spring, summer, and fall. I love this stuff, and if you have oily or acne prone skin, it's very friendly for that as well. They recently changed the packaging so I want to warn you about that because it's not in this type of package anymore. Now it's in a jar packaging, which I don't like as much."

What the evidence says.

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

Vitamin C

Topical vitamin C is an antioxidant with reasonable evidence for dullness and uneven tone. It breaks down in light and air, so how a product is formulated and packaged matters as much as the percentage on the front.

Source: DermNet

Ceramides

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.

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.
