Science: Sense Beautilful Science Gentle Daily Cleanser Reviewed by NvWah

For a cleanser I am pleasantly surprised to see the abundant moisturizing and soothing ingredients. The antioxidant content is also powerful wit vitamin A, C and E, soybean protein, rice bran, and green tea extract.

Then I am disappointed to see denatured alcohol. Denatured alcohol together with ethyl alcohol is not only extremely drying and irritating to skin, but also can generate free-radical damage. Although it is listed as the last few ingredients, it still could be problematic. Stop using if any adverse reactions arise. For this I take away one star.

It could be better without fragrance.

Safety alert: Cautious
