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

What the gurus are saying

Texture is the standout here, with the feel described as dreamy and skin left feeling smooth and hydrated, and hydration said to last 48 hours. The golden tint fades as it blends in, so it does not look overwhelming, and the gurus say it photographs and lasts well. The one thing to keep in mind: a heavy hand can be too much, so a tip is to use less and blend it out further.

"It feels really beautiful on the skin. It smells really really good, with a beautiful smell that isn't overly fragrant. My skin does feel really hydrated and really smooth. The golden tint fades as you blend it in, so it isn't overwhelming, though I [...] think I use a little too much and would use less and blend it round."

"The texture of this is so dreamy and gorgeous. Underneath makeup you can see it's much thicker, and when I put it on you'll see that golden hue, but once you rub it into your skin it just melts away. I'm going to massage it in, and you'll feel that the texture is different. It's so luxurious and buttery, it's really like a hug for your skin. It's still so glowy, but it's less reflective, maybe less shiny. It's so cushioning on the skin."

"This is fuller coverage, but it looks unbelievable, it lasts so well, and it photographs so well. I just use this all over, and I don't bother with concealer afterwards. I just use this by itself. Usually, if I've got time, I'll stipple, so I pat it on with my brush, but today I'm going to get it chucked on and then pat it afterwards, bringing it under my chin slightly."

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.

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.
