How we score →Yay
11 experts · Strong agreementWhat the gurus are saying
It's called a serum, but it pours and feels like a watery toner, and that's the detail gurus keep circling back to. Most love how nicely it sinks in, plumps, hydrates and smooths, and it works as a first step after cleansing. The lukewarm voices call it a better supporting act than a star, and there's a warning that the copper peptide can be fussy with retinol and acids.

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.

Peptides are short protein fragments meant to signal repair. The evidence for them is thinner than for retinoids or vitamin C, and it varies a lot by the specific peptide, so the category is more promising than proven.
