1. **Dispense:** Take an almond-sized amount (about 1.5cm) onto dry fingertips. 2. **Apply:** Gently massage onto a dry face for 60 seconds, focusing on areas with makeup or impurities. 3. **Emulsify:** Add a small amount of lukewarm water and continue massaging as the cream turns milky. 4. **Rinse:** Thoroughly rinse with lukewarm water until no residue remains. Pat face dry. **Timeline Expectations:** *Week 1:* Skin feels clean without the tight, dry feeling. Makeup and sunscreen remove more easily. *Week 2-3:* Consistent use helps skin feel smoother. The 'squeaky clean' sensation is replaced by balanced softness. *Week 4+:* Skin's texture appears more refined. It becomes a reliable first step that prepares skin to better absorb subsequent treatments.

Kose INFINITY was born from a simple observation in Japanese skincare clinics: modern life is hard on skin. Stress, pollution, and daily routines can leave even healthy skin feeling compromised. Kose researchers, based in Tokyo, developed the Esthetic Cleansing Cream EX to be a smarter first step—a cream that cleanses thoroughly without stripping. They selected ingredients like ceramides and amino acids not just for purity, but for their ability to work *with* your skin's natural rhythm. Every batch is produced in a Japanese GMP-certified facility, adhering to standards stricter than many global norms. This meticulous approach has made it a top-ranked cleansing category product in Japan, trusted by users who describe it as 'gentle yet effective' and a staple in their routine.

The Kose INFINITY Esthetic Cleansing Cream EX Trial Set - 120g features a carefully formulated blend of ingredients designed to provide a thorough yet gentle cleansing experience. Key components include water and glycerin, which serve as hydrating bases to maintain skin moisture during the cleansing process. Stearic acid and glyceryl stearate act as emulsifiers, helping to create a rich, creamy texture that effectively dissolves makeup, sebum, and impurities without stripping the skin's natural oils. Additional ingredients like butylene glycol and PEG-20 glyceryl stearate function as humectants and surfactants, enhancing the product's ability to lift away dirt while ensuring easy rinsability. The inclusion of fragrance and botanical extracts, such as those from chamomile or green tea (specific extracts may vary by formulation), aims to provide a soothing sensory experience and offer antioxidant benefits. This combination results in a cleansing cream that not only cleanses deeply but also leaves the skin feeling soft, hydrated, and refreshed, making it suitable for daily use in a skincare routine focused on maintaining skin health and clarity.
