How a skincare score is built
The score is the formula's efficacy out of 100:
- Ingredient Quality — up to 45 points
- Concentration Signal — up to 15 points
- Evidence Backing — up to 15 points
- Formulation Sophistication — up to 12 points
- Functional Completeness — up to 8 points
- Base Formula Credit — up to 5 points
Safety is checked separately: irritants, synthetic fragrance, EU-listed allergens, endocrine concerns, pore-clogging ingredients and conflicting actives. A product that clears 95 on safety loses nothing; below it, every point costs 0.25 of a point. See every product in the Formulate app.
Educational only. Scores rate a product's formula, not how it will suit your skin. Some links are affiliate links; they never affect a score.
