1. In the shower, apply a coin-sized amount to wet skin or a washcloth. 2. Gently lather over areas prone to odor, like underarms. The medicated formula works on contact. 3. Rinse thoroughly with water. For best results, use daily as part of your shower routine. Timeline Expectations: Week 1: You may notice a cleaner, fresher feel immediately after showering, with odor control starting to work. Week 2-3: With consistent use, many report a more 'radiant' and even skin tone in treated areas, as the brightening agents build effect. Odor protection feels more sustained. Week 4+: The dual-action formula is now fully integrated into your routine. Enjoy maintained odor control and visibly brighter, smoother skin as part of your daily refresh.

Kose is a trusted Japanese skincare name since 1946, born from a simple belief: effective care should be simple and trustworthy. The Deo Carat formula was created for modern life, where stress, diet, and environment can challenge your skin's natural balance. Our researchers in Tokyo focused on a medicated, rinse-off approach—targeting odor at the source during your shower, not just masking it later. Every bottle is made in a Japanese GMP-certified facility, meeting the strict standards for quasi-drugs (医薬部外品). This meticulous process, from selecting the dual-action deodorant and skin-brightening agents to rigorous stability testing, has made it a top-ranked body wash in its category for years, trusted by those who prefer a clean, clinical approach to daily care.

Kose Deo Carat Medicated Deodorant Body Wash - Odor Control & Radiant Skin by Kose features a thoughtfully formulated blend of ingredients designed to address odor control while promoting skin health. Key components include sodium laureth sulfate and cocamidopropyl betaine, which serve as gentle surfactants to cleanse the skin by removing impurities and excess oils without causing excessive dryness. The product incorporates zinc oxide, a medicated ingredient that acts as an antimicrobial agent to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria, providing long-lasting deodorant protection. Additionally, it contains glycerin and butylene glycol, humectants that attract and retain moisture, helping to maintain skin hydration and prevent dryness, which contributes to a radiant complexion. Botanical extracts such as chamomile and green tea are included for their soothing and antioxidant properties, reducing irritation and protecting the skin from environmental stressors. Fragrance is added to enhance the user experience with a pleasant scent, while preservatives like phenoxyethanol ensure product stability and safety. Overall, these ingredients work synergistically to offer effective odor control, gentle cleansing, and skin-nourishing benefits, making it suitable for daily use to achieve fresh, healthy-looking skin.
