System Verdict
Excellent gentle cleanser that cleans without barrier damage and adds contact-active salicylic acid bonus. Efficacy score of 4.4 earned via mild surfactants (Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate, Coco-Betaine, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate as top actives, no harsh sulfates), barrier-support (3 ceramides, amino acids, HA, cholesterol in mid-list), plus salicylic acid and phytosphingosine for contact acne/exfoliation benefit in rinse-off format; fragrance-free with likely skin-friendly pH from citrates.
