The efficacy score is 3.1/5 because hydration is supported by glycerin, aloe, and emollients, but the formula lacks ceramides, cholesterol, fatty acids, niacinamide, panthenol, or hyaluronic acid; Ethylhexyl palmitate is also positioned third, which may be problematic for acne-prone users. Its short ingredient list is complete as provided, but fragrance adds avoidable irritation risk without improving moisturization. The official product page lists 100 ml at £6.60, while a retailer listing reports the same product's UPC as 0084105800153.
