System Verdict
Adequate daily cleanser that cleans without major harm but held back by fragrance and lack of amino-acid surfactants. Efficacy score of 3.6 reflects gentle surfactant base (Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, Sodium Cocoamphoacetate as primary cleansers) that avoids harsh sulfates, plus barrier support from glycerin, panthenol, and niacinamide (positions 2-7 indicate meaningful levels), but niacinamide/panthenol rinse off in 30-60 seconds delivering no lasting benefit; no contact actives like salicylic acid to elevate it higher.
