Pros

  • Widely used serum that effectively boosts hydration when layered on damp skin
  • Includes Vitamin B5 to aid skin barrier repair and complement humectant effects
  • Lightweight and generally well-absorbed, making it easy to incorporate into layered routines

Cons

  • Can leave a sticky, tacky residue and pill under makeup, especially if not fully absorbed
  • Some users report redness, irritation, or worsened dryness—often linked to dry or sensitive skin types
  • Humectant effect can backfire in dry climates by pulling moisture out from the skin if not sealed properly
