Efficacy scores summarize how an ingredient is generally used in cosmetics and are a reference only; real results vary by concentration and formulation. The grade (A/B/C) reflects the Korea MFDS usage basis (C means a regulated usage limit) and is a separate axis from the efficacy scores. Korea MFDS information is quoted from the public Cosmetic Ingredient Information DB. For sensitive skin, pregnancy or other special cases, please consult a professional.
