A New Habit of Effortlessly Removing Stubborn Pore Dirt and Makeup with the Unique "Smooth Melt Formula"

In recent years, the number of people suffering from pore blackheads and excess sebum has increased, leading to the rapid expansion of the pore-specialized cleansing market. Therefore, for this renewal, we have thoroughly pursued further satisfaction in pore care and a smoother, more comfortable skin feel. Based on the brand's common "highest makeup removal in gel history*3" and "frictionless usability," we have renewed the ingredients. It is luxuriously formulated with charcoal x 3 types of vitamin C derivatives* x enzymes (cleansing, moisturizing), evolving into a black warming cleansing gel that maximizes functionality by directly approaching stubborn pore concerns from all directions.

The newly developed "Melt Cushion Gel Design" reduces friction on the skin and dramatically improves the speed at which it blends with makeup. Furthermore, 3 types of vitamin C derivatives (APPS, etc.)* and azelaic acid*4 control sebum and tighten the skin, achieving "smooth, clear, bare skin" that is both "thoroughly cleansing" and "moisturizing."

[Product Features]

POINT 1: Thorough Pore Absorption*1 x Highest Makeup Removal in History*3!

No double cleansing required, eyelash extension safe. Warms gently +5°C from the moment it touches the skin.

The +5°C warming effect gently opens pores, and the "Smooth Melt Gel Formula" instantly melts and removes makeup smoothly. The triple power of "charcoal x clay x enzymes (cleansing)," which excels at adsorbing and breaking down dirt, decomposes stubborn pore plugs and blackheads and entangles them without escape. Furthermore, it clears even stubborn point makeup like waterproof mascara in one go. It is safe for eyelash extensions and does not require double cleansing, achieving overwhelming cleansing power while minimizing the burden on the skin.

POINT 2: "3 Types of Vitamin C Derivatives*" x "Azelaic Acid*4"

To tighten the skin after cleansing and lead to even, transparent skin without uneven color, we have luxuriously blended beauty ingredients. It contains "penetrating," "super-penetrating (APPS)," and "instantaneous" triple vitamin C derivatives* that quickly reach the stratum corneum, and the highly anticipated sebum control ingredient "azelaic acid*4." The finish is refreshing, suppressing stickiness and shine, and creating a smooth texture without roughness.

POINT 3: For a Calming and Relaxing Cleansing Time

Refreshing Herb Scent

The original blend "Refreshing Herb Scent" created by a perfumer not only feels pleasant but also provides excellent relaxation effects.

The refreshing citrus scent refreshes the fatigue of the day, and the warm rosemary and chamomile aromas gently relieve tension. Enjoy a blissful moment to reset your skin and mind at the end of the day.
