What the gurus are saying

This oil's gold flecks dissolve into skin and create a very subtle, warm glow with a whisper of shimmer that catches light. Though it's praised for being beautiful on the shelf and gorgeous on skin, some reviewers note that equally effective oils are available at lower price points. Those with sensitive skin or a gold allergy should steer clear.

"I did originally enjoy the Maracuja Oil, I just don't personally think you necessarily need to spend extra on it, there are a lot of great oil options from much more affordable brands, and to this day [...] my absolute favorite oils are still from indie brands."

"The Maracuja Oil from Tarte is really exciting. [...] It has these little gold flecks in it and it's a beautiful oil. While the gold flecks don't do anything miraculous for skin, they do kind of dissolve inside of this oil and leave you with this really nice dewy glow. [...] If you have sensitive skin or god forbid a gold allergy, which is rare but possible, you want to steer clear of this."

What the evidence says.

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

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.
