Active Ingredient Strength is another area of separation. Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 4% BHA Advanced Exfoliating Serum Toner scores 4.6 here versus 3.1 for Dr. Jart+ Cryo Rubber™ Soothing Face Mask with Allantoin. That difference comes down to how each formula is built — the ingredient list tells the story.
