4 experts · Moderate agreementWhat the gurus are saying
This cream sinks in without leaving skin oily or congested, making it a rare find for those who need serious nourishment but have struggled with heavy moisturisers in the past. Gurus praise how the squalane and omega fatty acids lock in moisture and shield skin from water loss, so it works especially well when skin is dry or dehydrated. The one thing to keep in mind is the price point, which lands on the higher side for a moisturiser.

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

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.
