backed by evidence*Limited to raw material properties
backed by evidenceIt can be used on all skin types, but since PHA aids in exfoliation, if you have sensitive skin or are using an exfoliating product for the first time, we recommend starting with use once every two days. After your skin adapts, you can increase the frequency for more comfortable use. If you experience any trouble or irritation during use, stop use immediately and feel free to contact us.

partly backedDomestic production with no worry about leakage
partly backedSoft and dense foam turns into refreshing water droplets the moment it touches the skin and absorbs without stickiness, providing gentle exfoliation and deep inner moisture for makeup-eating.
partly backedAfter cleansing, apply the foam to hands or face and gently massage to absorb, or wet a cotton pad and sweep without irritation, or use as a mask.

overstatedPHA gently smooths the dead skin cells that make skin rough, transforming it into a 'makeup-eating' peeled-egg skin texture where any makeup adheres snugly without lifting. In addition, powerful moisturizing ingredients such as various sizes of multi-hyaluronic acid and beta-glucan provide 'moisture filling' that leaves no room for dryness from the surface to deep within.
