Science: L’Occitane Cleanser Reviews by NvWah_L’Occitane Rice Foaming Cleanser

This cleanser has zinc PCA in it which is a fast-acting oil control ingredient. Therefore besides cleaning this product may have some extra benefit for oily skin type.

However this cleanser contains sodium laureth sulfate, a strong cleansing and foaming agent often seen in detergent. But it could be extremely drying and cause skin sentisization. In addition it also has some other irritants.
