BB Score Breakdown

Criteria	Weight	Score (Out of 100)	Notes
Scientific Backing	10%	30	The idea of “gene activation” lacks substantial evidence in dermatology. FTC ruled L’Oréal’s claims as unsubstantiated.
Ingredient Quality	15%	50	Contains common hydrating agents and antioxidants, but nothing unique or groundbreaking.
Efficacy	25%	40	Some users report smoother skin, but results are no better than standard moisturizers.
Safety	15%	80	Generally safe for most users, though it may not suit sensitive skin types due to potential irritants.
Ease of Use	10%	90	Easy to apply and fits well into daily routines.
Value for Money	15%	60	Moderately priced compared to other anti-aging products, but the claims do not justify the cost.
Brand Reputation	10%	70	L’Oréal is a well-known brand but has faced scrutiny for misleading advertising.

While the L’Oréal Youth Code line is safe and easy to use, its claims of gene-level activation lack scientific support. It’s essentially a standard moisturizer marketed with exaggerated promises.
