Cleanses deep into the pores! Amazing Drugstore Facial Cleansers【3 Selections】

Hello, this is Payke writer Reina.
How do you take care of your pores?
This time, I want to introduce you to 3 very popular facial cleansers that can be bought at drugstores!

Suisai Beauty Clear Powder

〔Price〕around 1800 yen
〔Contents〕0.4g×32 pods

They are individually packaged enzyme powder cleansers. Enzyme cleansers are facial cleansers that use proteolytic enzymes (protease) and sebum degrading enzymes as cleaning agents.
While a general facial cleanser washes off the dirt and dead skin on the surface of the skin, an enzyme cleanser would break down and remove those particles from the skin.
Did you know that blackheads are made up of 70% dead skin, 30% sebum buildup? The dead skin that makes up 70% of blackheads are made up of protein, and they are hard to wash off with normal cleansers. However, because enzyme cleansers can break down and remove those dead skin cells, you’ll be able to take care of those blackheads in your pores!

They are very easy to use. After dampening your face and hands, take out one capsule worth of powder out onto your palm, lather it with a little bit of water/ lukewarm water, and then apply it onto your face. It’s important to add small amounts of water gradually while lathering so you’ll get a foamy consistency.
Next, gently wash the face in a circular motion, making sure your hands don’t directly come in contact with your face. Finally, thoroughly rinse off the cleanser to avoid any left-over product on the skin.
Because this product works immediately, I saw my skin become brighter and my pores become less visible. It’s also important to note that my skin didn’t become irritated after even though it cleanses so deeply. It’s nice that you can use this without having to choose your skin type too!
But, we must not forget the stress our skin goes through when using a cleanser with such high cleansing power. Please make sure to use your moisturizing skin care products after cleansing. If you forget to moisturize, the pores will go back to how they were, so please be careful!
Avoid using this every day, and instead, try using it routinely on a once-a-week basis.

Rosette Cleansing Paste: Kaidei Smooth (Sea Clay Smooth)

〔Price〕around 650 yen
〔Volume〕120g

This facial cleanser contains sea mud that’s rich in minerals and plant extract. “Pasta” (written on the package as「パスタ」” describes the condition when a powder is turned into a paste, and this Rosette Cleansing Paste is a long-selling product in Japan since 1992.
Sea mud, that’s created by the many years in nature, have countless amounts of fine holes, and those holes absorb and get rid of excess sebum and dirt.

The fine sea mud powder inside the paste becomes a fluffy, elastic mousse when lathered. It is said that mud/clay cleansers have lots of adhesive, absorptive, and detoxifying power, and I certainly felt like my pores became smaller and my skin became smoother.

Deitanseki

〔Price〕around 500 yen
〔Volume〕150g

This is a refreshing and moisturizing face soap bar. It contains the moisturizing agent bentonite and the cleaning agent kaolin (*fine charcoal powder) which helps to absorb the dirt from the pores.
This very popular product comes first in the total sales of charcoal facial cleansers since 2000.
The enjoyable benefits of charcoal cleansers are:
①Removes dirt and excess sebum from the pores
②Skin-whitening effect
③Regulates skin cell turnover
④Promotes blood circulation

It is 500 yen for this size; a great value for money. It lathers up very nicely and you’ll be able to create fluffy foam in seconds. The scent of the charcoal is strong, and it looks like it’s effective.
Because it’s made out of natural ingredients, its gentle on the skin, and I didn’t feel any tightness after using it. I would like to keep using this!
However, it’s best to avoid using this when you have acne or other skin problems. Because this product has high adhesive power, it may irritate acne-prone skin.
If your skin is in good condition, please try it out!
