The Skin Score in Skin Bliss is broken into two key parts:
- 🧖 Skin Type Score – How well is this product formulated for your base skin type (e.g., dry, oily, combo). Some products are clearly labeled “for oily skin” or “for dry skin,” but many lie somewhere in between. Our system captures that nuance—rating how strongly aligned the product is with your skin type, not just whether it mentions it.
- 🎯 Skin Concern Score – Does the product include ingredients that specifically target your skin concerns (e.g., acne, redness, aging). We consider both the presence of beneficial ingredients and their likely concentration. That means a product with a tiny drop of niacinamide won’t get the same score as one that uses it at an active, proven level.

- Acne-prone
- Eczema-prone
We then look at all cleansers that are:
