Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser vs Uriage Hyseac Cleansing Gel
Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser is the lower-concern pick, scoring 16 points higher on the PlainScore rubric.
Score, factor by factor
Concern55 / 5552 / 55
How much genuine, cited concern the ingredients carry, weighted by how much of each is likely present and whether the product stays on or rinses off. Commonly feared but low-concern ingredients cost nothing.
Transparency20 / 2012 / 20
Whether the full ingredient list, and any fragrance, are actually disclosed. An undisclosed "fragrance/parfum" blend hides its allergens and costs points.
Formulation restraint25 / 2520 / 25
Needless irritant or allergen load for the product type. A clean, purposeful formula scores well without any "free-from" theater.
PlainScore100 / 10084 / 100
The three factors summed: concern out of 55, transparency out of 20, formulation restraint out of 25. Higher is lower concern.
Left column: Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser. Right: Uriage Hyseac Cleansing Gel. The bold number wins the factor.
