Shiseido Complete Cleansing Microfoam 180 mL — Light Oil-Free Foaming Cleanser, Hydrating Rice Germ Oil

Shiseido Complete Cleansing Microfoam is a light, oil-free foaming cleanser that lifts impurities and softens skin while preparing it for the rest of your skincare routine.

Designed by Shiseido’s Japanese skincare experts, this 180 mL Microfoam gives an airy, instant foam that cleans without weighing skin down. It combines skin-softening rice germ oil with an InternalPowerResist technology to help remove dirt, excess oil, and makeup residues while leaving the skin feeling hydrated and smooth. The formulation emphasizes a gentle, clarifying cleanse suitable for daily use and for all skin types, including normal, combination, and oily skin.

How does this cleanser remove makeup and impurities?

The Microfoam texture breaks down surface oils and trapped particles, allowing you to rinse them away with minimal rubbing. For everyday makeup and light sunscreen, use it on damp skin; for heavier or waterproof products, apply to a dry face first for better breakdown.

• Instant, airy foam lifts dirt and light makeup from the skin surface
• Effective on sunscreen residues and daily pollutants
• Option to use on dry skin for tougher makeup removal
• Rinses clean without a greasy finish

Will this foam dry out my skin or leave it tight?

Shiseido’s formula balances cleansing power with moisturizing support by including rice germ oil that helps maintain softness and hydration. The result is a clean, comfortable feel rather than the stripped, tight sensation some foaming cleansers produce.

• Rice germ oil nurtures softness and light hydration
• Lightweight, oil-free texture avoids heavy residues
• Formulated for daily use without over-drying

How should I use this cleanser for best results?

Dispense a small amount of foam into your palm and gently massage over the face, then rinse thoroughly. For stronger makeup, apply to dry skin with dry hands to enhance removal, then add water and rinse fully.

• Daily: use on damp skin, massage, rinse
• For waterproof makeup: apply to dry face first, then emulsify with water
• Follow with your usual Shiseido routine steps: soften, strengthen, treat, moisturize, protect

What makes Shiseido’s Microfoam different from other foaming cleansers?

This Microfoam pairs Shiseido’s heritage in J-Beauty with modern actives like InternalPowerResist technology, aiming to cleanse while supporting the skin’s resilience against environmental stressors. The lightweight, quick-foaming experience is engineered to prep skin for subsequent serums and moisturizers without interfering with product absorption.

• InternalPowerResist technology supports skin resilience
• J-Beauty formulation philosophy: cleanse, soften, strengthen
• Airy foam texture that rinses clean and smooths skin surface

Who is this for: Shiseido Complete Cleansing Microfoam is suited for anyone seeking a gentle yet effective daily cleanser that removes impurities and light makeup while leaving skin soft and ready for treatment. It is a good choice for those who prefer an oil-free, fast-foaming texture that won’t compromise hydration—ideal for normal, combination, and oil-prone skin types, or for anyone following a multi-step Japanese-style skincare regimen.
