System Verdict
This is a solid barrier-support serum, not a true treatment serum. The efficacy score is driven by a strong hydrating base with glycerin and butylene glycol near the top, plus a genuinely useful tri-ceramide-style lipid system of ceramide NP, cholesterol, phytosphingosine, squalane, and fatty acids that can support barrier function. It does not score higher because there is no high-evidence corrective active in a clearly treatment-level role; lactic acid is present more as a pH adjuster than an exfoliating driver, and the antioxidant/support ingredients are secondary.
