Shiseido Complete Cleansing Microfoam Foaming Cleanser 180 mL — Lightweight, Hydrating Rice Germ Oil

Shiseido Complete Cleansing Microfoam is a light, instant foaming cleanser that lifts impurities and softens skin while leaving a hydrated, smooth finish.

This airy foaming cleanser from Shiseido combines gentle surfactants with nourishing rice germ oil and the brand's InternalPowerResist technology to cleanse without stripping. The formula transforms into a microfoam on contact, making it easy to spread and rinse, and it is formulated to prepare skin for subsequent skincare steps. It is presented in a 180 mL size suitable for daily use.

How does this cleanser remove makeup and impurities?

The microfoam texture is engineered to break surface tension and lift dirt, excess oil, and light makeup from pores while remaining lightweight on skin. For heavier or waterproof makeup, the product can be worked onto dry skin for increased efficacy before rinsing.

• Creates an airy foam that loosens residue without harsh scrubbing
• Works on damp skin for daily cleansing or on dry skin for stubborn makeup
• Rinses clean to avoid film or residue

What ingredients help keep skin soft and hydrated?

Rice germ oil is included to help condition and soften the skin surface, supporting a smooth feel after cleansing. The formulation is balanced to remove impurities while leaving a subtle moisturizing effect so skin doesn’t feel tight or stripped.

• Rice germ oil for surface softening and comfort
• Mild foaming agents that cleanse gently
• Light, non-greasy finish suited for layering products afterward

What technology or benefits does Shiseido add to this cleanser?

The cleanser incorporates Shiseido’s InternalPowerResist technology designed to help skin resist environmental stressors and maintain clarity. While primarily a cleansing step, the product is formulated to support the skin’s readiness for subsequent treatments in a Japanese beauty routine.

• InternalPowerResist technology supports skin resilience
• Preps skin for the following steps: treatment and moisturize
• Formulated for all skin types to enhance clarity and texture

How should I use this for best results?

Dispense the microfoam into your palm, gently smooth it over wet skin, then rinse thoroughly. To remove heavier makeup, apply the foam to dry skin using dry hands, massage, then add water to emulsify and rinse off.

• Daily use: apply to damp skin and rinse
• Makeup removal: apply on dry face, then wet and rinse
• Follow with your preferred toner, serum, and moisturizer

Who is this for: Shiseido Complete Cleansing Microfoam suits anyone seeking a lightweight foaming cleanser that cleans effectively without leaving skin tight.
