"Not only does it have a great ingredient list, it does a good job of moisturizing the skin. I wouldn't use this one [...] in the summer or when my skin is a little more oily, it's something I'd probably use during the fall or winter months, but it does a good job of moisturizing the skin and it's not too heavy and greasy, which I really like for day to day use. [...] If it came down to choosing between the gel moisturizer and the antioxidant facial moisturizer, I would choose the second one."

What the evidence says.

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

Retinoids

Retinoids are among the best studied ingredients in dermatology, with solid evidence for acne and for the fine lines and rough texture that come from sun exposure. Dryness and flaking in the first few weeks are common and usually settle.

Vitamin C

Topical vitamin C is an antioxidant with reasonable evidence for dullness and uneven tone. It breaks down in light and air, so how a product is formulated and packaged matters as much as the percentage on the front.

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.
