Methodology, confidence & gaps

Snapshot 2026-10-27
Amazon listing
Desktop + mobile capture at delivery ZIP 10001 (New York), prices native USD, no currency conversion. Rating, histogram, bullets, specifications and “Customers say” parsed from the rendered page; data are a snapshot and rank/price move between captures.
Reviews gap
The listing rendered zero inline review bodies and zero buyer photos at capture time; aspect sentiment comes from the “Customers say” aggregate block. Section 02 therefore reports aggregates only, per the no-invented-fields rule.
Ingredients
COSDNA record and SkinSort record merged by canonical ingredient name; level classes are derived from CosDNS-style comedogenic / irritant / safety numbers and are indicative, not medical advice. COSDNA record “Medicube Kojic Acid Turmeric Smoothing Toner for Face & Body” - 31 ingredients, posted 2025-10-04 (source: Packaging).
Price history
