Melts Makeup & Sunscreen Instantly

Users say it 'takes off everything in one go' and 'even removes waterproof mascara' without needing to scrub, which can irritate skin.

Cleans Pores Without Stripping

The 'cushion' texture means it doesn't leave your skin feeling tight or squeaky-clean. It's 'gentle enough for daily use' while still getting pores deeply clean.

Targets Blackheads Gently

Helps dissolve the sebum and debris that can lead to blackheads over time. It's a 'game changer for nose pores' without harsh actives that cause redness.

No Heavy Residue or Film

Rinses completely clean with water. Reviewers note there's 'no oily feeling left behind,' just soft, balanced skin ready for the next step.

Perfect First Step for Double Cleansing

Effectively breaks down the day's grime (pollution, SPF, makeup) so your second cleanser can work on skin, not on surface oil.

Great for Sensitive Skin

Being fragrance-free and colorant-free, it's a 'holy grail for reactive skin.' Many say it 'doesn't break me out' and is 'soothing.'

Saves Time in Your Routine

It's a true multitasker. 'One product removes everything,' simplifying your evening routine without compromising on results.

Leaves Skin Incredibly Soft

The jojoba oil leaves a hint of hydration. Users consistently report their 'face feels so soft after washing,' not dry or tight.

1. Start with dry hands and a dry face. Pump 2-3 times (about a quarter-sized amount) into your palm. 2. Gently massage the oil all over your face for 60 seconds, focusing on areas with visible pores or makeup. The oil will turn milky as it binds to sebum and impurities. 3. Add a little warm water to emulsify the oil completely. 4. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. For best results, use as the first step in your double-cleanse routine every evening. Timeline Expectations: Week 1: Skin feels deeply cleansed yet comfortable, not stripped. Makeup and sunscreen melt away easily. Week 2-3: With consistent use, pores may appear less congested. The 'cushion' texture prevents harsh rubbing. Week 4+: As part of your routine, helps maintain clearer-looking skin. Blackheads and sebaceous filaments are managed with gentle, daily care.

Kose is a Japanese beauty pioneer founded in 1946, trusted for generations. The Softymo Clear Pro line was created specifically for the modern challenge of clogged pores and blackheads, which are often worsened by daily pollution and stress. Our chemists in Tokyo developed this Cushion Cleansing Oil to target these concerns without stripping the skin. The formula is built around a patented, high-purity oil blend that is rigorously tested in Japanese labs and produced in GMP-certified facilities. It’s a top-ranked cleansing oil in Japan, consistently praised for its ability to dissolve impurities while leaving skin feeling soft, not tight. This is the result of over 75 years of Japanese skincare science, focused on creating effective, gentle solutions for real life.

The Kose Softymo Clear Pro Cushion Cleansing Oil - Pore & Blackhead Care is formulated with a blend of key ingredients designed to effectively cleanse while targeting pore and blackhead concerns. It contains caprylic/capric triglyceride, a lightweight emollient derived from coconut oil that helps dissolve makeup and sebum without leaving a heavy residue. Ethylhexyl palmitate serves as a solvent to break down stubborn impurities and provides a smooth texture. The inclusion of polyglyceryl-10 diisostearate acts as an emulsifier, allowing the oil to rinse off cleanly with water, preventing pore-clogging residue. Additionally, salicylic acid is incorporated for its exfoliating properties, penetrating pores to dissolve blackheads and reduce their appearance. Tocopherol (vitamin E) offers antioxidant benefits to protect the skin from environmental stressors. This combination ensures thorough cleansing, minimizes pore congestion, and promotes a clearer complexion with regular use.
