System Verdict
This is a well-built, gentle cleanser with a slightly fragrant finish, not a treatment product. The efficacy score is driven by a strong mild-surfactant blend (alaninate, hydroxysultaine, amphodiacetate, taurate, isethionate) plus a humectant-heavy base that should cleanse without stripping; it is held back from a higher score because the vitamin C is far too low and rinse-off to matter, and the essential oils add avoidable irritation risk without improving cleansing performance.
