Formulation read

The two registers agree exactly on all 38 rows. The risk profile is gently conservative: only tocopherol carries meaningful scores (acne 2-3 / irritant 2), with cosmetic-grade flags on caprylic/capric triglyceride and butylene glycol. The functional core — niacinamide, ceramide NP, sodium DNA, madecassoside, centella, beta-glucan, two hyaluronic acids — all sit in the lowest safety band.

Functional load concentrates in Skin conditioning (8), Moisturiser (7), Texture / viscosity (6), Antioxidant (4).

— The current US Ver.2 register matches the packaging transcription row for row: 38 ingredients, identical order.

— No Concerns section is rendered on the current page — the formula carries no concern tags on the independent screen.

— Earlier formula revisions of this product (including fragrance-allergen versions) circulate on the index; this analysis uses the Ver.2 page only.

Price read

Tracking began in September 2025 and shows a single-channel market: the Amazon retail channel has never recorded a buy-box price, so the live $27.00 brand-direct offer is the reference. 3rd-party-new traded $17.55 (Oct 7, 2026) to $27.00 (Sep 21, 2026) and currently sits at $25.99, averaging $24.87 — the tracker print is one scan behind the live $27.00 brand offer. Subscribe & Save at $21.60 is the only recurring discount.

A strong fit for sensitive, redness-prone and post-blemish skin that wants a botanical-leaning recovery cream and is willing to pay premium unit pricing for the PDRN positioning. Users chasing pure value should compare against ceramide staples; fragrance-sensitive users should note the botanical hydrosols.

Section 6Method & Data Notes

Marketplace facts (pricing, rating base, sentiment aspects, listing copy) were captured from the live US product page on 2026-10-27. Price history covers the tracker channels above from the monitoring start date shown. Formulation data merges two independent registers: the packaging transcription (function, acne, irritant and safety cells) and the community formulation screen (comedogenic / irritancy pairs, benefit and concern tags, badge screen).

Exposure bands classify each ingredient by the highest safety number recorded on the packaging register. Active sunscreen ingredients are additionally listed under INCI names on the community screen. Where the two registers disagree, the master register keeps both rows and the divergence is noted in the ingredient commentary. No source links are published with this report.

Limitations

  • No written review text was rendered on the listing at capture time; sentiment comes from the aggregate aspect panel and editorial summary.
  • No buyer-uploaded photographs were rendered for this listing.
  • The Amazon buy-box channel has no price-tracking history; price analysis relies on the 3rd-party-new series and the live listing.
