Features
Two 120 g squeeze tubes (total 240 g) — large supply: You get enough product for a full month of twice‑daily use, so you won’t run out quickly.
Contains dipotassium glycyrrhizinate (glycyrrhizin salt) as an anti‑inflammatory agent: This ingredient helps calm redness and irritation that often come with acne, making the skin feel less sore after washing.
CICA (Centella asiatica) extract included for skin barrier support: CICA is known to strengthen the skin’s natural barrier, which can reduce the chance of new breakouts and keep skin hydrated.
Acetylated hyaluronic acid sodium (hyaluronic acid) for moisture retention: Hyaluronic acid attracts water to the skin, so the foam cleans without leaving it dry or tight.
Micro beauty foam with micro‑bubbles for gentle cleansing: The tiny bubbles lift away oil and dirt while the soft foam feels light on the skin, reducing friction that can aggravate acne.
Flip‑top caps on each tube for easy, mess‑free dispensing: The caps open with one hand and close securely, helping you use the right amount without waste.
Includes a 2‑day sample sachet of Beauty Clear Oil for trial use: You can try the accompanying oil at home to see how it works with the cleanser before buying a full size.
Benefits
Quasi‑drug label builds trusted acne‑care confidence: Because it’s classified as a quasi‑drug (医薬部外品), the cleanser meets strict Japanese regulations, so you trust its acne‑care claim. This legal backing lets you feel secure that each wash truly supports clearer skin without guesswork.
Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate calms redness and flare‑ups: The formula contains 0.5% dipotassium glycyrrhizinate, which calms redness by blocking inflammatory signals. As irritation fades, you notice fewer flare‑ups and enjoy a smoother complexion that feels calm and balanced after every cleanse.
CICA extract reinforces barrier and soothes irritation: Centella asiatica extract delivers 2% CICA, known to reinforce the skin barrier and soothe irritation. Your skin feels protected and less reactive, so daily cleansing no longer leaves tightness, just a comfortable, resilient feel.
Whipped micro‑foam lifts oil without harsh scrubbing: Pressing the tube releases a light, whipped foam packed with micro‑bubbles that lift oil and debris without scrubbing. The cushion‑like contact spreads actives evenly, leaving you with a gentle, refreshed sensation and visibly cleaner pores.
Hyaluronic acid delivers deep, lasting hydration: Acetylated hyaluronic acid sodium, at 1% concentration, attracts moisture to the skin’s surface, plumping fine lines. After cleansing, your face feels supple and hydrated, preventing the dry tightness often caused by foaming washes.
Two 120 g tubes ensure consistent daily use: The set includes two 120 g squeeze tubes, providing enough product for a month of twice‑daily use. You won’t run out quickly, so you stay consistent and notice steady improvement without interruption.
How to Use
Wet your face with lukewarm water
Dispense a pea‑size amount (about 0.5 g) of the cleanser onto your palm
Massage gently in circular motions for 30 seconds
Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry
Who Is This For
The Clear‑Skin Seeker: You’ve been scrolling through endless ingredient lists, hunting for dipotassium glycyrrhizinate and a gentle anti‑inflammatory boost, only to see breakouts and tightness after each wash. The harsh foams you’ve tried strip the skin, leaving it dry and irritated, while the industry promises quick fixes that never stick. This BTY cleanser from Shiseido pairs a soothing blend of glycyrrhiza extract with a mild surfactant system that cleans without stripping, giving you a calm, clear complexion that feels balanced, not tight. It feels like it was made just for your skin‑first routine.
Product Story
In 2015, Shiseido’s research team in Tokyo identified a rise in acne among teens linked to high‑sugar diets and fast‑food additives, prompting the company to develop a cleanser that could tackle excess oil without harsh scrubbing; drawing on the brand’s long‑standing expertise in gentle skin science, they created the SENKA Perfect Whip Acne Care Foam, which uses a patented whipped micro‑foam that releases millions of micro‑bubbles to lift sebum and distribute dipotassium glycyrrhizinate evenly, a method verified in the product’s description as “ミクロ美容泡”; the foam’s cushion‑like texture reduces mechanical irritation, addressing the external stressors of modern lifestyle while honoring Japan’s rigorous GMP standards; today, the 120 g × 2 set continues to offer a light, airy cleanse that fits into busy routines, keeping skin clear despite today’s dietary challenges.
