Yepoda The Midnight Magic
Everything behind the verdicts on this product: the rule that fired for each concern, the three answers and the documents they rest on, every study on the row with the date it was opened, and the versions of the tables that produced them. Nothing here is edited by hand; it is generated from the same records the verdicts are.

for Dryness
Shea Butter is a reference standard by mechanism for dryness; this sleeping mask carries it high in the ingredient list.
A trial-supported active, or a reference standard by mechanism, at a working level; or a first-line active below its studied range.
- Rule
- R5 → Good choice. A supported active (trial-backed, or a reference standard by mechanism); declared at a working strength, or a labelled active or at a plausible but undeclared level.
q1 = supported · q2 = adequate | plausible
Why this rule exists: Trial-supported or guideline-supported active, adequately or plausibly dosed.
Rule R5 decided 9,843 verdicts across the catalog; “Good choice” is the verdict on 10,340 of 45,446. The full register. - Carrying active
- Butyrospermum Parkii

- Supported — its mechanism is established (a reference standard, not a trial result)

Studied range: 1–100%, from the trials on the row; needs leave-on contact - 3 · Tolerability

for Dehydration
Glycerin is a reference standard by mechanism for dehydration; this sleeping mask carries it high in the ingredient list.
A trial-supported active, or a reference standard by mechanism, at a working level; or a first-line active below its studied range.
- Rule
- R5 → Good choice. A supported active (trial-backed, or a reference standard by mechanism); declared at a working strength, or a labelled active or at a plausible but undeclared level.
q1 = supported · q2 = adequate | plausible

for Compromised Skin Barrier
This formula carries fragrance — a known trigger for compromised skin barrier — so it is not a fit however good its actives are.
The formula carries a known trigger for the concern — fragrance for rosacea, comedogenic esters for acne, fungal triggers for fungal acne — which decides the verdict before any efficacy question.
- Rule
- R1 → Avoid. The formula carries a known trigger for the concern.
q3 = harsh
Why this rule exists: Safety outranks praise (MASTER-PLAN §1.7). A condition-weighted trigger (multiplier ≥ 2 in condition-fit-matrix) decides the verdict before any efficacy question.
Rule R1 decided 1,307 verdicts across the catalog; “Avoid” is the verdict on 1,912 of 45,446. The full register. - Carrying active

Not judged as a mask: works within its wear time, benefit outlasts the mask, comes off cleanly cannot yet be measured from the ingredient list (only intensity without injury can).
Listed for Winter Skin, with no verdict: the actives here have no evidence row for that concern yet. That is a gap in our table, not a mark against the product.
- Winter Skin: The actives here (Centella Asiatica, Shea Butter, Glycerin, Jojoba Oil) are in the research queue for winter skin; no verdict until their rows are written.
- Fragrance
A verdict is Dermington’s assessment of how well a product’s ingredients fit a concern — never a claim about what the product treats. Every rule is public and the same for every product; a brand cannot buy a reading. How we decide · what has changed · disclaimer.
