What the gurus are saying
Completely invisible with a soft focus, velvety finish, this gel seamlessly works over and under makeup without shifting tone or leaving a dewy cast. It doubles as a primer and absorbs nicely. The formula is strong on ingredients and performance sits comparably to competitors, though the product misses the distinctive brand personality expected at this price point.

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

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.

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.
