System Verdict
Mediocre cleanser with weak Vitamin C derivative that's rinsed away in seconds—zero real brightening power. Efficacy score of 3.0 due to Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (SAP), a stable but low-potency Vitamin C salt needing ~5-10% for effect and pH >6 for activation, listed late indicating tiny concentration; rinse-off format nullifies any antioxidant benefit as actives don't penetrate; lacks synergistic pairings or encapsulation, while SLES base strips barrier without clinical optimization.
