System Verdict
Decent acne-oil cleanser, but the formula is still too fragrancey and SLES-led to be anything special. I scored the efficacy at 2.9/5 because this is a competent rinse-off cleanser with coco-betaine, PEG-120 methyl glucose dioleate, and a pH around 5.5, but the primary surfactant is still Sodium Laureth Sulfate, so it cannot reach the gentle-gold-standard range; Zinc PCA adds some oil-control value, yet in a 30–60 second wash it is only a modest bonus, not a major treatment effect.
