System Verdict
Solid drugstore body lotion that exfoliates rough skin without barrier damage, but mineral oil base drags down elegance. Efficacy score of 4.5 reflects strong leave-on salicylic acid (~2-3% estimated from position 5) paired with lactic acid/ammonium lactate for chemical exfoliation, plus ceramides/niacinamide/HA for barrier support and MVE slow-release tech boosting 24h hydration; deducts slightly for mineral oil dominance over premium emollients and lack of potency data.
