Pore care cleansing powered by 8-plant patented complex
Cleansing is the first step in any skincare routine. This formula features Tannin Complex HR (Patent No. 10-0955389), a patented blend of eight natural plant extracts—persimmon leaf, grape seed, coffee seed, green tea, Japanese knotweed, safflower, chestnut shell, and Japanese pepper tree—combined in an optimized ratio. In a 4-week clinical study conducted by the ingredient supplier, visible changes in pore size were observed.
Gentle enough for daily use, morning and night
Formulated without SLS or SLES, this cleanser relies on three amino acid-derived surfactants: coco-betaine (9%), sodium cocoyl isethionate (7.5%), and disodium cocoamphodiacetate (2.9%). With a mildly acidic pH of 5–6, it minimizes tightness after cleansing. In skin irritation testing, it scored 0.00 on the irritation index, making it suitable for sensitive skin types to use every day.
Lather and massage for 30 seconds to 1 minute
Wet your hands, dispense an appropriate amount, and work into a lather. Due to the nature of amino acid surfactants, the foam may feel lighter than expected, but cleansing power remains effective. Massage over the entire face in circular motions, then rinse with lukewarm water (30–35°C). Bamboo sap, rich in nine essential amino acids and ionized minerals, nourishes skin throughout the cleansing process.
Recommended pairings by skin concern
- Pore concerns: Follow with a hydrating toner immediately after cleansing, and use a pore-targeting ampoule 2–3 times per week
- Sensitive skin: Pair with a low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid toner for simultaneous soothing and hydration
- Oily or combination skin: Focus lightly on the T-zone during cleansing, then apply an oil-water balancing serum
AHA precautions and storage
Contains citric acid (an AHA exfoliating ingredient) to gently soften dead skin buildup. Avoid using on the same day as retinol or other exfoliating treatments to prevent irritation—space them out by time of day. Store away from direct sunlight and use within 12 months of opening. If redness or itching occurs, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
