Early verdict · Few reviews so far

What the gurus are saying

The thin gel texture delivers visible radiance and a subtle plumping feel that reads as sophisticated rather than glittery on the skin. Gurus found it more hydrating than similar dewdrop primers and praised its skin-enhancing effect, describing a noticeable brightening that makes complexion look subtly improved. Best suited for anyone wanting a hydrating serum primer with a dewy finish.

"This is from Laneige, the Glowy Makeup Serum. There was a hot minute where I was using this all the time. It's a beautiful product. It feels so nice on the skin honestly."

"This delivers the makeup priming abilities in a serum format that I felt were slightly lacking with dewdrops. It has a really nice gel texture to it. [...] There are some sparkly, glittery-looking elements, these are light reflecting particles, it does not look glittery on the skin, it does not look juvenile. It's an upscale, grown-up kind of light reflecting particle. It's a thin gel with a very mild plumping, hydrating type of feel at the top of your skin."

What the evidence says.

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

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Vitamin E

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.
