What the gurus are saying

One expert found the fermented formula delivers concentrated antioxidants and hydration, calling it a worthwhile seasonal pick. However, another reviewer hadn't formed a clear take on it yet. Not many gurus have weighed in so far, so there is not much to build on at this point.

"I love the Pink Drink. I tried to pick one up every summer and it's a fermented mist and fermented just means that they've concentrated down the active ingredients usually antioxidants and it just is a bit more bang for your buck. Love this, super hydrating. As I said, I usually pick one up every summer."

What the evidence says.

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

Ceramides

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.

Peptides

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.
