Is Acrylates/Ammonium Methacrylate Copolymer a Good Ingredient?
This lands at Good for delivering clear, durable films and improved wear, with occasional mild sensitivity reported in those reactive to acrylates, which keeps it short of Great. Effective performance can come with a tighter feel that some users may dislike.
