Scored for skin — based on what its ingredients contribute.
What it may help with
Whether it can help acne-prone skin — reducing clogged pores, excess oil, acne-causing bacteria, inflammation, or breakouts.
From Betaine Salicylate, Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil, 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 Betaine Salicylate, Citric Acid, Saccharomyces Ferment, Cryptomeria Japonica Leaf Extract
Whether it can calm the skin — linked to less redness, irritation, discomfort, or visible reactivity.
From Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract, Allantoin, Saccharomyces Ferment, Cryptomeria Japonica Leaf Extract
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 Saccharomyces Ferment, Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract, Butylene Glycol, Allantoin
Whether it can reduce excess sebum, shine, or greasiness — absorbents, sebum-regulating ingredients, and some acne actives.
Things to watch
Risk of allergic contact dermatitis or immune-based reactions. Fragrance allergens, preservatives, botanicals, and some dyes may score here.
From Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil, Ethylhexylglycerin, Citric Acid
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.
Risk of short-term irritation — stinging, burning, dryness, redness, or discomfort. Common for strong actives, acids, retinoids, fragrances, and harsh surfactants.
From Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil, Citric Acid, Sodium Chloride, Ethylhexylglycerin
Whether it may sting or irritate around the eyes. Relevant for sunscreens, fragrances, acids, surfactants, and volatile ingredients.
From Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Chloride, Ethylhexylglycerin, Betaine Salicylate
Whether it can weaken or damage the skin barrier — harsh surfactants, strong exfoliants, high alcohol content, or overuse-prone actives.
