The efficacy score is driven by a dense humectant system (glycerin, multiple glycols, several hyaluronic acid derivatives, betaine) combined with well-studied soothing and barrier-support ingredients like panthenol, oat extract, centella components, and multiple ferments, but the absence of high-evidence treatment actives means its impact is limited to moisturization and calming rather than long-term correction.
