Makeup Melts Away Instantly

You stop struggling with stubborn mascara and foundation. It dissolves everything on contact, so you're not rubbing and tugging at your skin, which can lead to wrinkles.

No Greasy Residue Left Behind

Your skin feels truly clean, not slick or filmy. It rinses away completely, so there's no heavy oil layer clogging your pores overnight.

Gentle Enough for Sensitive Eyes

It doesn't sting or blur your vision. You can confidently use it on waterproof eyeliner and mascara without the red, irritated eyes you get from other removers.

Your Skin Doesn't Feel Tight or Dry

It cleans without stripping. Your face feels soft and hydrated after washing, not like you need to immediately slather on moisturizer.

A Faster, Simpler Nightly Routine

You save time. One product removes everything—face, eyes, lips—in under a minute. No need for separate removers or multiple cotton pads.

Helps Keep Pores Clear

By thoroughly removing all sunscreen and makeup, it helps prevent the gunk that can lead to blackheads and breakouts, especially from modern, long-wear formulas.

Perfect for Oily or Combination Skin

It gets rid of excess sebum and makeup without adding more oil back. Your skin feels balanced, not overloaded.

In Japan, where skincare is a respected daily ritual, KOSÉ developed the Softymo Speedy Cleansing Liquid to solve a modern problem: how to remove stubborn, long-wear makeup and sunscreen without stripping your skin's natural moisture. The formula was born from over 50 years of Japanese cosmetic science, focusing on a single, effective action—dissolving makeup on contact. Every ingredient is selected for purity and gentleness, manufactured in a GMP-certified facility under Japan's strict Pharmaceutical Affairs Law. This dedication has made it a consistent bestseller, often ranking as the #1 oil-free cleanser in Japanese beauty magazines and drugstores for its reliable, no-fuss performance that respects your skin's balance.

The Kose Softymo Speedy Cleansing Liquid - Oil-Free Makeup Remover 230ml is formulated with a carefully selected blend of ingredients designed to effectively remove makeup and impurities while maintaining skin comfort. Key components include water as the primary solvent, glycerin for its humectant properties to hydrate and soften the skin, and butylene glycol as a solvent and moisturizer that enhances product spreadability. The formula incorporates PEG-20 glyceryl triisostearate, a surfactant that emulsifies and lifts away oil-based makeup and sebum without leaving a greasy residue, aligning with the oil-free claim. Additional ingredients like disodium EDTA act as a chelating agent to improve stability by binding metal ions, while phenoxyethanol serves as a preservative to prevent microbial growth and ensure product safety. Botanical extracts, such as chamomile or aloe vera derivatives, may be included to provide soothing and anti-inflammatory benefits, catering to sensitive skin types. This combination results in a lightweight, non-comedogenic cleanser that efficiently dissolves long-wear cosmetics, sunscreen, and dirt, rinsing off cleanly to leave skin refreshed, balanced, and free from irritation, making it suitable for daily use across various skin types, including oily and acne-prone skin.
