Grades were set by reading this ingredient’s studies. They describe the ingredient, not every product that contains it.
How much products actually contain
40 products state the amountmedian 0.3%48% at or above the amount studies used (0.5–1%)
- under 0.01% 8
- 0.01–0.1% 9
- 0.1–1% 13
- 1% or more 10
Amounts are mostly stated by products named after the ingredient, so they may lean towards token amounts.
Of the products containing it, 131 list it before the 1% line and 107 after it (usually 1% or less).
Where no amount is stated, a product listing it early reaches the study amount about 70% of the time, one listing it late about 6%.
Clinical evidence grade by skin concern
- B
- one or two randomised trials
The evidence is a single comparative trial in 44 people, so it is weaker than for retinol.
