The efficacy score is 3.0/5: salicylic acid appears in position 7 and can support pore care, but its actual percentage and pH are undisclosed, so meaningful BHA performance cannot be confirmed; citric acid may contribute acidity, yet there is no verified pH or optimized acid system. The high denatured-alcohol placement and multiple essential oils do not improve exfoliation and make the base less suitable for sensitive or barrier-impaired skin. The botanical waters and grape components are secondary marketing support, not major efficacy drivers.
