This formula's gentleness is the big draw, particularly since it worked perfectly without any irritation even on already-sensitive skin. Gurus also praised the strong moisturizing benefits and visible brightening effects from the ceramides, peptides, and vitamin C. Anyone hesitant about using new serums due to irritation concerns or sensitivity issues might find this formula works well for them.

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.

Urea both holds water in the skin and gently loosens dead surface cells. At higher strengths it has good evidence for very dry or thickened skin.

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.
