A well‑formulated, dermatologist‑developed cleanser that balances oil control with barrier support; suitable for most normal to oily skin types, though those with very sensitive skin may want to patch test.
Scored for skin — based on what its ingredients contribute.
What it may help with
Whether it supports the skin barrier — restoring lipids, reducing water loss, aiding barrier repair, or strengthening the skin’s protective function.
Whether it can calm the skin — linked to less redness, irritation, discomfort, or visible reactivity.
From Niacinamide, Ceramide NP, Phytosphingosine, Ceramide AP
Whether the ingredient helps increase the skin’s water content — humectants that attract water, ingredients that reduce water loss, or ones that make skin feel less dry.
From Glycerin, Ceramide NP, Ceramide AP, Ceramide EOP
Whether it can help uneven tone, dark spots, melasma-like discoloration, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation — including brightening and tyrosinase-inhibiting ingredients.
From Niacinamide, Citric Acid
Whether it can improve smoothness and surface texture — roughness, flaking, clogged pores, or unevenness. Exfoliating acids, retinoids, and smoothing moisturizers may score here.
From Niacinamide, Citric Acid, Ceramide NP, Ceramide AP
Things to watch
Whether it has known or suspected hormone-related activity or endocrine-disruption concern.
From Propylparaben
Whether it can make skin more sensitive to sunlight, raising the risk of sunburn or UV-related irritation. Relevant for some exfoliating acids, retinoids, and certain plant-derived ingredients.
From Citric Acid
Risk of short-term irritation — stinging, burning, dryness, redness, or discomfort. Common for strong actives, acids, retinoids, fragrances, and harsh surfactants.
From Citric Acid, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, Propylene Glycol
Whether it has meaningful potential to be absorbed into the body at levels that may matter biologically. Most cosmetic ingredients score low unless there is known concern or high exposure.
From Propylparaben, Methylparaben
Risk of allergic contact dermatitis or immune-based reactions. Fragrance allergens, preservatives, botanicals, and some dyes may score here.
From Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine, Citric Acid
