Molecular structure

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.
