Clean Skin That Doesn't Feel Stripped

Wash away the day's grime and makeup without that tight, squeaky-clean feeling. Your face just feels soft, hydrated, and comfortable—like it can finally breathe again.

The 'Easy Off' for Makeup and Sunscreen

It takes off everything, even stubborn sunscreen, without needing a harsh scrub or double cleanse. Users say it 'melts everything away' gently.

A Calming Start and Finish to Your Day

The gentle, fragrance-free lather is a moment of quiet care for skin stressed by modern life. It's a simple ritual that feels soothing, not stripping.

Fewer Bad Reactions and Less Redness

By skipping harsh sulfates, fragrances, and alcohol, this formula helps sensitive skin stay calm. Reviewers note it's 'gentle' and doesn't cause flare-ups.

Skin That Stays Hydrated All Day

The hydrating agents work during your wash, so your skin holds onto moisture better after you pat dry. You skip that immediate need for heavy moisturizer.

Pores That Look Cleaner and Less Visible

The oil-free, non-comedogenic clean helps prevent pore-clogging residue. Over time, this can lead to pores that appear smaller and clearer.

A Simpler, Faster Skincare Routine

When one product cleanses effectively and gently, you can streamline your routine. It's an efficient step that does its job perfectly.

Confidence in Every Pump

Knowing it's made in a certified Japanese facility with rigorously tested ingredients means you're not experimenting on your skin. You're using a proven, trusted tool.

Born in Japan's Kose laboratories, the Sekkisei Clear Wellness Cleansing Gel was created for skin that feels overwhelmed by modern life—pollution, stress, and harsh routines. Our formulators sought a single solution that could deeply cleanse without stripping, using a core philosophy of 'clear wellness.' We selected a precise blend of Japanese botanicals like Coix Seed Extract and Angelica Acutiloba Root Extract, known for their gentle, hydrating properties. Every batch is produced in a GMP-certified facility, adhering to Japan's strict pharmaceutical-grade manufacturing standards. This commitment to purity and performance has made it a top-ranked cleanser in its category, trusted by discerning users who prioritize both efficacy and gentleness.

Kose Sekkisei Clear Wellness Cleansing Gel - Gentle Hydrating Cleanser is formulated with a blend of carefully selected ingredients designed to cleanse while maintaining skin hydration. Key components include water and glycerin, which serve as the base to provide moisture and prevent dryness during cleansing. The product features sodium laureth sulfate, a mild surfactant that creates a gentle lather to effectively remove impurities, makeup, and excess oil without stripping the skin. It also contains butylene glycol, a humectant that helps retain moisture and improve skin texture. Botanical extracts such as coix seed extract and licorice root extract are included for their soothing and brightening properties, helping to calm irritation and promote an even skin tone. Additionally, hyaluronic acid is incorporated to enhance hydration by attracting and holding water in the skin, leaving it feeling soft and supple. These ingredients work synergistically to offer a thorough yet gentle cleansing experience, making it suitable for daily use to support clear, balanced, and well-hydrated skin.
