    Oh. I like these.
    "I've really been loving it and it's a nice kind of sheer hydration so it doesn't compete with my skin care. I can do my usual skin care and then go in with this before I apply my foundation and I don't get any problems with pilling or building up too much hydration in certain areas, which is usually a problem for me. I've been pretty obsessed with it, I've been really really liking it. It's relatively new to my routine but I kind of instantly fell in love."

    "It feels really good, it does feel like it's absorbing into the skin and like hydrating it. Once it fully dries down it really does have a little bit of that grip to it which is nice for longevity when it comes to foundation. My skin looks nice and glowy. It feels really lightweight as well, a lot of times primers in general can kind of feel like there's another layer on the skin, you know, but that feels really good."

    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.

    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.

    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.
