The efficacy score is driven by glycerin high in the list, niacinamide in a meaningful early position, and a well-built humectant/emollient base that should reduce dryness without heaviness. It loses points because this is not a true treatment cream: there are no gold-standard anti-aging or barrier-repair lipids like ceramides/cholesterol, and the soothing extras are supportive rather than transformative.
