Melts Makeup Instantly, No Harsh Rubbing

Users say it 'melts everything off' including long-wear foundation and waterproof mascara with just a gentle massage. This protects delicate skin and eyelashes from the damage of aggressive cleansing.

Leaves Skin Feeling Hydrated, Not Stripped

Reviewers note it leaves skin 'soft and moist,' not tight or squeaky-clean. The formula cleanses deeply while respecting your skin's natural moisture barrier, so it feels comfortable immediately after rinsing.

Gets Rid of 'Gritty' Feeling Pores

By thoroughly dissolving oil-based impurities and sunscreen, it helps clear out pores without harsh scrubbing. Customers report skin feels 'smooth and clean' without any residue.

Brightens Dull, Tired-Looking Skin

The Coix Seed extract works to gently clarify skin. With consistent use, users see a 'radiant' and 'more even' complexion, counteracting dullness from pollution and stress.

Perfect First Step for Double Cleansing

It effectively removes all makeup and SPF, creating a perfectly clean base. This allows your second cleanser and subsequent skincare to work much more effectively.

Gentle Enough for Sensitive Skin and Eyes

The fragrance-free, alcohol-free formula doesn't sting eyes or irritate skin. Many with sensitive skin call it a 'holy grail' because it cleanses thoroughly without causing redness.

Saves Time on Your Nightly Routine

Its efficiency means you don't need separate eye makeup removers or multiple cleansing steps. It's a simple, one-product solution for a complete cleanse.

Supports Long-Term Skin Clarity

By ensuring a truly clean canvas every night, it helps prevent clogged pores and breakouts caused by leftover makeup. This consistent care leads to clearer, healthier-looking skin over time.

1. Dispense a 1-inch (2.5cm) amount of gel onto dry hands. 2. Apply to a completely dry face, gently massaging in circular motions. The gel will transform into a light oil as it melts makeup. 3. Add a small amount of lukewarm water to emulsify the oil into a milky texture. 4. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. For best results, use as the first step in your double-cleansing routine every evening. Timeline Expectations: Week 1: Notice makeup, including waterproof mascara, dissolves easily without harsh rubbing. Skin feels clean but not tight. Week 2-3: Consistent use helps clear away residual impurities. Skin may appear smoother and more radiant post-cleanse. Week 4+: With a consistently clean canvas, skincare products absorb better. The gentle formula helps maintain skin's hydration balance, supporting long-term clarity.

Born in Japan's Kose laboratories, the Sekkisei Melty Off Cleansing Gel was created to solve a modern skincare dilemma: how to thoroughly cleanse away the day's makeup and pollution without stripping the skin's natural moisture. Japanese researchers focused on a unique, gel-to-oil-to-milk formula that mimics the skin's own lipids, selecting traditional Japanese botanicals like Coix Seed Extract for their known brightening properties. Every batch is produced in a GMP-certified facility, adhering to Japan's strict Pharmaceutical Affairs Law for cosmetics. This commitment to purity and efficacy has made it a top-ranked cleansing product in Japan for over a decade, trusted by millions for its gentle yet effective performance.

Kose Sekkisei Melty Off Cleansing Gel - Radiant Makeup Remover 170g is formulated with a blend of carefully selected ingredients designed to effectively cleanse while nourishing the skin. Key components include water and glycerin, which serve as hydrating bases to maintain skin moisture during the cleansing process. The product features emulsifiers such as PEG-20 glyceryl triisostearate and PEG-8, which help dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and impurities by creating a milky emulsion when rinsed with water, ensuring thorough removal without harsh rubbing. It contains botanical extracts like coix seed extract and licorice root extract, included for their skin-brightening and anti-inflammatory properties, respectively, to promote a radiant complexion and soothe the skin. Additionally, ingredients like butylene glycol and dipropylene glycol act as humectants and solvents, enhancing the gel's texture and facilitating the even distribution of active components. The formulation also incorporates mild surfactants and emollients, such as hydrogenated polyisobutene, to provide a smooth, non-greasy feel and prevent stripping the skin's natural oils. This combination results in a gentle yet effective makeup remover that cleanses deeply, leaves skin soft and hydrated, and supports overall skin clarity and luminosity with regular use.
