System Verdict
A solid gentle cleanser, but most of the “antioxidant” story is marketing dressing, not lasting skincare payoff. The efficacy score is driven by a mild surfactant system built around Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine, Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate, and Decyl Glucoside, plus some barrier-friendly support from glycerin and panthenol; however, this is still a rinse-off formula, so the vitamin C derivative, botanical antioxidants, and gluconolactone contribute only limited real-world benefit. I also docked for added fragrance and fragrance allergens, which reduce the safety score and make this less ideal for sensitive skin.
