5 experts · Moderate agreementWhat the gurus are saying
Its rich, balm-like texture is what gurus keep coming back to, and they say it feels thick without turning greasy. Many also praise how calming it feels on irritated or sensitive skin, with several noting it does not burn. The one thing to keep in mind is a faint cheesy scent that some noticed, though it doesn't linger. Those in cold, dry climates may want to reach for it through the winter months.

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

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.
