The efficacy score is held back because the formula is basically water, glycerin, witch hazel, aloe, and rose water with no true treatment active; the humectant support is real but modest, and the fragrance load plus witch hazel make it a mediocre choice for sensitive or dryness-prone skin.

EXTERNAL CITATIONS
Glycerin: Well-established humectant used to improve stratum corneum hydration.
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract: Common soothing ingredient with modest evidence for calming irritation.
Hamamelis Virginiana Bark/Leaf/Twig Extract: Astringent botanical; may feel refreshing but is not a proven barrier-repair active.
