Why these two are neck and neck

These two moisturisers take different paths to a similar destination. Both formulas include solid hydrating ingredients, and the overall scores reflect that — the gap here is genuinely slim.

Active Ingredient Strength is another area of separation. Dr Teal's Body Lotion scores 5.9 here versus 4.1 for Clarins Haute Exigence Jour. That difference comes down to how each formula is built — the ingredient list tells the story.

Clarins Haute Exigence Jour brings Ascorbyl Glucoside, Tocopheryl Acetate, and Tocopherol as actives, while dr Teal's Body Lotion relies on Ceramide Np, Ceramide Ap, and Ceramide Eop. Both approaches have merit, but the positioning and supporting ingredients make the difference.
