System Verdict
Clean, basic, and completely unremarkable — it does its one job without being harsh. The efficacy score is driven by a gentle single-surfactant cleanser base with Cocamidopropyl Betaine, plus small amounts of panthenol and humectants that help reduce after-wash dryness; it is not a treatment product, and the low-position antioxidant is irrelevant in a rinse-off formula.
