What the gurus are saying

This serum splits reviewers sharply on value and performance. While one expert praised it, others found the price steep for the size and results, noting it reads as an oily, glittery formula that may disrupt sensitive skin, with hydration that falls short of the promised glow. The gurus who were skeptical point to stronger alternatives at the same price point from brands like Dermalogica.

"While the products were actually decent, they weren't groundbreaking or unique enough to justify the price tags. Most skincare reviewers, including myself, stated that results just didn't live up to the hype. They were moisturizing, they were hydrating, but they were nowhere near glowy or dewy. [...] The brand's main point came into question: where was that JLo glow? I tried this serum, and it's a good example of the brand's overall issue."
~Nay
"This serum is seventy-nine, almost eighty bucks for just one ounce, not even one point seven. I like that it's not five hundred dollars, that's good, but I would not buy this serum. While it does not look absolutely terrible, it [...] looks like an oily glittery potentially skin barrier disruptive mess."

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.

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.
