The efficacy score is driven by a high-glycerin, high-occlusion base plus a credible barrier-lipid blend (ceramides, cholesterol, phytosphingosine, fatty emollients) that supports dryness and irritation better than a typical moisturizer. It loses points only because most of the formula is supportive texture/base material rather than high-potency actives, so this is excellent for barrier repair and comfort rather than an aggressive corrective treatment.
