Kanebo Suisai Beauty Clear Pink Powder Wash - enzyme cleansing powder for combination skin, 0.4 g capsules

Kanebo Suisai Beauty Clear Pink Powder Wash

Kanebo Suisai Beauty Clear Pink Powder Wash is the pink version of the Japanese enzyme facial cleansing powder from the suisai line, in single-use capsules of 0.4 g. The manufacturer aims it at combination skin — skin that is oily and dry at the same time. Two elements set it apart from the other versions in the line: a sebum-absorbing powder and a set of moisturising ingredients. The formula contains no added fragrance.

Key ingredients

Sebum-absorbing powder

The first of the two elements specific to the Pink version. It removes the excess oil that makes combination skin shine across the T-zone.

Moisturising ingredients

The second distinguishing element. The pack names them: peach juice, pomegranate fruit extract, raspberry extract, jojoba seed oil and sodium hyaluronate. They are meant to prevent a tight feeling after washing — the manufacturer sets them against the sebum-absorbing powder so that the skin keeps its oil and water in balance.

Two enzymes and amino-acid cleansers

The core shared by the whole Beauty Clear line: protease breaks down protein soil — dead surface cells and the protein part of keratin plugs — while lipase breaks down sebum. The cleansing layer is built on Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate and Sodium Myristoyl Glutamate. Exfoliation is biochemical, without abrasive particles.

Benefits

Two concerns at once: shine and dryness

That is the idea behind this version. The pack addresses it to people whose combination skin has both oily and dry areas at once, and states the result as skin with its oil and water in balance — smooth and hydrated rather than tight.

What it removes

The manufacturer lists four things: dark impurities in pores, keratin plugs, sebum and old surface cells. It also states that cleansing helps prevent blemishes — this is a cleansing product, not a treatment for existing lesions.

Preparing the skin for the next step

Stated on the pack: after washing, the skin is smooth enough for the toner applied next to spread and absorb more easily.

Capsule format

Each capsule is a factory-measured, separately sealed portion, so the powder never meets moisture between one wash and the next and the enzymes stay active until it is opened. The format also works well for travel.

How to use

As printed on the pack: empty one capsule into the palm and lather thoroughly with a small amount of water or lukewarm water until a dense foam forms; a foaming net helps. Wash the face with the foam, then rinse thoroughly. Open the capsule from either of the two sealed ends. The manufacturer allows daily use and recommends adjusting the frequency to the condition of the skin.

Who it is for

The Pink version is intended for combination skin — shiny in some areas and dry in others — and for skin with visible blackheads and keratin plugs. The formula contains no added fragrance, so it also suits situations where scent is unwanted.

Warnings

Not a food product. Do not use on damaged skin, swelling or eczema; check the condition of the skin before use. In case of redness, swelling, itching, irritation or changes in pigmentation during use or after sun exposure, stop using the product and consult a dermatologist — continued use may worsen the symptoms. Avoid contact with the eyes; if the product enters an eye, rinse it thoroughly at once and consult an ophthalmologist if discomfort persists. Keep out of reach of children and of people with cognitive impairment, because of the risk of swallowing. The formula contains the colourant Red 504.
