Product overview
Key Ingredients
A full ingredient list has been confirmed for this exact 100g size across two independent sources: Water, Glycerin, Carbomer, Laurtrimonium Chloride, PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Hydrated Silica, Alcohol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Tremella Fuciformis Polysaccharide, Prunus Lannesiana (Sakura) Flower Extract, Ascorbic Acid, Malic Acid, Prunus Mume Fruit Extract, Citric Acid, Potassium Hydroxide, Phenoxyethanol, Butylene Glycol, DMDM Hydantoin, Parfum (Fragrance), and CI 16255. Please note this formula contains DMDM Hydantoin, a preservative that works by slowly releasing small amounts of formaldehyde, which some people are sensitive to - worth being aware of if you have known formaldehyde-releaser sensitivities.
Key Features
This is an exfoliating gel built around Sakura (cherry blossom) and plum extracts, designed to be massaged onto the skin to physically slough off dead skin cells without harsh scrubbing particles, forming small rolled deposits ("scrubbings") that are then rinsed away.
Benefits
The gel is marketed to deeply remove dead skin cells, cleanse pores, remove grease and buildup, even out skin tone, tighten the appearance of pores, and leave skin feeling smoother. As with all exfoliant marketing claims, individual results can vary and should be viewed as marketing positioning.
Who Can Use This Product
This exfoliating gel is generally marketed toward adults seeking a gentle physical exfoliation option for the face and body. Because the confirmed formula contains Fragrance (Parfum) and DMDM Hydantoin (a formaldehyde-releasing preservative), those with known sensitivities to either should exercise caution and consider a patch test first. It is not intended for children, and pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult a doctor or pharmacist before use.
How to Use
Apply an appropriate amount to the face and other body areas evenly. After 1-2 minutes, gently massage the skin to remove dead skin cells, then rinse thoroughly with water. Use a few times per week rather than daily, to avoid over-exfoliating.
Storage & Safety
A patch test behind the ear is recommended before first use. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Keep away from children. Store in a cool place, avoiding direct sun exposure. The product is reported to have a shelf life of approximately 5 years when unopened.
