The efficacy score is 3.7/5: glycerin appears second and the emollient system is substantial, so hydration and softness are credible, while sodium hyaluronate and polyglutamic acid appear near the bottom and likely contribute mainly modest supplementary hydration. The marketed peptides are not identifiable as conventional peptides in the supplied INCI; hydrolyzed vegetable protein is a weakly specified film-forming protein rather than a strong, well-characterized peptide treatment. No ceramides, cholesterol, retinoid, niacinamide, or other high-evidence anti-aging active appears, and no sunscreen protection is present. The formula is fragrance-free in the supplied list and contains no obvious harsh alcohol or essential oil.
