Efficacy score of 3.3 reflects solid humectants like glycerin and low-dose hyaluronate for short-term hydration (+84% claim from small 11-person test), but no clinically optimal concentrations, missing penetration enhancers or multi-HA weights beyond claim, and weak antioxidants (grape juice/Tocopherol too low to compete with proven synergies); safety docked to 4.3 for benzyl alcohol and parfum risking sensitivity in reactive skin.
