1. Wet your face with lukewarm water. 2. Dispense one pump (about a cherry-sized amount) into wet hands. 3. Gently massage the rich foam onto your face in circular motions for about 60 seconds, focusing on areas with makeup or sebum. 4. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. 5. Pat dry with a clean towel. For best results, use as the second step in a double-cleansing routine after an oil-based cleanser. **Timeline Expectations**: Week 1: Skin feels 'cleaner and softer' immediately after use, with less post-wash tightness. Week 2-3: With consistent use, the skin's texture begins to feel smoother, and the hydration from the hyaluronic acid becomes more noticeable. Week 4+: The skin's barrier feels more resilient. Users report their complexion looks 'clearer' and 'more balanced', even in challenging environments like air-conditioned rooms or during seasonal changes.

Born from Kose's 75-year dedication to Japanese skincare science, this cleansing foam was created to solve a modern dilemma: how to deeply cleanse without stripping the skin's natural moisture. In Japan, where humid summers and dry winters demand resilience, the formula was engineered to protect the skin barrier. The team selected Osmanthus Flower Extract, a traditional ingredient known for its soothing properties, and paired it with multiple molecular weights of Hyaluronic Acid to hydrate at different skin levels. Every batch is produced in a GMP-certified facility in Japan, adhering to strict quality standards that have made Kose a trusted household name. This specific formula quickly became a top-ranked cleansing product in Japanese beauty rankings, praised for its ability to leave skin feeling 'perfectly clean but never tight'.

The Kose Softymo Osmanthus & Hyaluronic Acid Cleansing Foam - 190g is formulated with a blend of key ingredients designed to cleanse and nourish the skin effectively. The product features hyaluronic acid, a powerful humectant that attracts and retains moisture, helping to hydrate the skin and maintain its elasticity, which is particularly beneficial for preventing dryness and promoting a plump, smooth complexion. Osmanthus extract is included for its antioxidant properties, which help protect the skin from environmental stressors and provide a soothing effect, potentially reducing irritation and enhancing skin radiance. Additionally, the cleansing foam contains glycerin, a moisturizing agent that supports the skin's barrier function by locking in moisture, ensuring a gentle cleanse without stripping natural oils. Surfactants such as sodium lauroyl glutamate are used to create a rich lather that effectively removes impurities, makeup, and excess sebum while being mild on the skin. This combination of ingredients works synergistically to offer a thorough yet gentle cleansing experience, leaving the skin feeling clean, hydrated, and refreshed, making it suitable for daily use across various skin types.
