Dissolve stubborn makeup and deep-seated "pore plugs" with the Ishizawa-Lab SQS Rich Moisture Makeup Clear. This high-performance Japanese cleansing gel is a specialized solution for those struggling with the "blackhead cycle" —where heavy makeup and excess sebum combine to stretch out and darken pores. Unlike traditional oil cleansers that can feel greasy or harsh foams that strip the skin, this thick, "sticky" gel utilizes the biological magnetism of Volcanic Ash White Clay and Seaweed to lift impurities out of the skin without the need for aggressive scrubbing.
The scientific core of this "Makeup Clear" formula is its ionic attraction technology. The rare volcanic ash clay (sourced from the ancient Shirasu layer in Kagoshima) carries a negative ion charge that naturally attracts positively charged makeup particles and oxidized sebum "dirt." To ensure the skin remains "mochi-soft" after rinsing, the gel is supercharged with a Rich Moisture Complex featuring Hydrolyzed Collagen, Hyaluronic Acid, and Vitamin C. These ingredients work in harmony to plump the skin cells surrounding the pores, effectively smoothing out the skin grain and leaving your face feeling supple, hydrated, and remarkably transparent.
True to Ishizawa-Lab’s "Stress-Free" philosophy, this gel is a no-double-cleanse formula that can be used on damp hands in the bath. It features a refreshing Natural Grapefruit Essential Oil scent that provides a grounding sensory lift during your evening wind-down. Meticulously formulated without synthetic dyes, fragrances, mineral oils, alcohol, or parabens, it provides a clinical-grade deep clean that is gentle enough for daily use on sensitive or combination skin. With SQS, you aren't just removing your makeup; you are performing a structural pore-reset that reveals a complexion as clear and fresh as a spring morning.
Volcanic Ash "Ionic" Cleansing: Featuring micron-level volcanic ash clay, this gel reaches deep into the pores to physically attract and adsorb makeup and blackheads. It provides a "vacuum" effect that clears out stubborn residue that standard cleansers often miss.
Sticky Seaweed Gel Texture: The thick, high-adhesion gel is enriched with mineral-rich Brown Algae (Seaweed) extract. This unique texture allows the cleanser to "grip" onto long-wear foundation and waterproof mascara, dissolving them quickly with minimal mechanical friction.
Plumping Collagen & Hyaluronic Acid: Infused with high-density humectants, the formula prevents trans-epidermal water loss during the cleansing process. It ensures the skin remains bouncy and hydrated, effectively"erasing" the dry, rough texture associated with pore-clogging debris.
Vitamin C & Loofah Refining: The addition of Vitamin C derivatives and Loofah extract helps to brighten sallow skin and tighten the skin grain. It targets the dark shadows of "strawberry nose," promoting a more even and luminous skin tone.
5-Free Hypoallergenic Standard: This clean-beauty formula is free from alcohol, parabens, mineral oils, and synthetic dyes. It is a safe and effective choice for those seeking professional-grade pore care with a low-irritation profile.
