Washes away the 'invisible dirt' of modern life.

Users say it 'gets off everything' without needing a double cleanse. It's designed to tackle pollution particles and oxidative stress that regular cleansers miss, leaving skin truly reset.

Your skin won't feel tight or squeaky.

A common review highlight is 'no tight feeling.' The amino acid foam cleans deeply but respects your skin's moisture, so it feels soft and comfortable, not stripped.

Turns cleansing into antioxidant protection.

This isn't just washing your face; it's applying a shield. The 60-second massage delivers a dose of stabilized antioxidants to help defend against next-day environmental damage.

Makes your morning skin look brighter.

Consistent users note a 'clearer, brighter complexion.' By thoroughly removing nightly buildup, your skin can better reflect light, reducing that morning dullness.

The lather feels luxurious, not cheap.

Described as a 'rich, dense foam' that feels premium. This sensory experience makes your nightly routine feel like a cared-for ritual, not a chore.

One pea-size is all you need.

It's 'surprisingly economical.' A little goes a long way to create a full-face lather, making the 150g tube last, which users appreciate.

Gentle enough for when your skin is stressed.

On days when skin feels sensitive from weather or fatigue, reviewers say it 'doesn't sting or irritate.' It provides a reliable, gentle clean.

Simplifies your routine without sacrificing results.

For those who want effective skincare without 10 steps, this acts as a powerful 2-in-1: a thorough cleanser and an antioxidant treatment in one.

Kose Professional was founded in 1946 by Kozaburo Kobayashi with a single mission: to solve real skin problems with real science. The Astaluxe W Cleanse AX was developed in response to modern environmental stressors—like pollution and blue light—that can dull even the most cared-for skin. Kose's researchers in Tokyo spent over 3 years isolating and stabilizing a potent, patented antioxidant complex (Astaxanthin + Vitamin E derivative) proven in 8 clinical trials to neutralize these aggressors. Every batch is produced in a Japanese government-certified GMP facility, ensuring pharmaceutical-grade purity. It's not just a cleanser; it's a protective ritual, which is why it has remained a top-ranked antioxidant cleanser in Japan for 5 consecutive years.

The Kose Professional Astaluxe W Cleanse AX - 150g Antioxidant Cleanser is formulated with a blend of ingredients designed to provide a thorough yet gentle cleansing experience while delivering antioxidant benefits. Key components include water as the base solvent, glycerin for its humectant properties to attract and retain moisture, enhancing skin hydration. Sodium laureth sulfate serves as a mild surfactant to create a rich lather that effectively removes impurities, makeup, and excess oil without stripping the skin's natural barrier. The product features antioxidants such as tocopherol (vitamin E), which helps neutralize free radicals from environmental stressors like UV radiation and pollution, thereby protecting the skin from oxidative damage and supporting a more youthful appearance. Additional ingredients like butylene glycol act as a solvent and moisturizer, improving product texture and skin feel, while disodium EDTA functions as a chelating agent to enhance stability by binding metal ions. This cleanser aims to cleanse deeply while nourishing the skin, leaving it clean, refreshed, and fortified against daily environmental aggressors, making it suitable for those seeking an antioxidant-rich skincare routine.
