The Science of “Pearl Shine® Formula”
At the heart of the “Dove Pearl Shine” series lies its unique “Pearl Shine® formula.” Over 25 years of dedicated skin research, Dove discovered a fascinating parallel: both pearls and human skin share a layered structure composed of amino acids. This insight, coupled with the finding that many Japanese women expressed a strong desire for ‘transparent, glowing skin,’ propelled the development of the ‘Pearl Shine® formula.’ This proprietary blend incorporates 12 types of non-animal derived amino acids, identical to those found in pearls, as moisturizing agents. It is designed to not only cleanse the skin but also replenish it with hydration, paving the way for a translucent, pearl-like glow.

The series aims to transform daily cleansing into a moment of luxurious self-care, with its sophisticated, pearl-inspired packaging design.
A Diverse Lineup for Every Skin Need
The “Dove Pearl Shine” series offers a wide array of products, including face washes, foam cleansers, a highly anticipated cleansing oil, and a 3-in-1 foam makeup remover. This extensive range is tailored to address various skin concerns and preferences, from achieving a clear, luminous complexion to tackling specific issues like pores or sensitivity. The inclusion of popular beauty ingredients such as Niacinamide (a moisturizing agent) and Retinol (a moisturizing agent) further enhances the targeted care offered by each product.
Creamy Face Washes for a Deeper Cleanse
The “Dove Pearl Shine Face Wash” is formulated to create a rich, dense foam that effectively removes dirt from deep within pores. It comes in three specialized variants:
-
Dove Pearl Shine Transparent Glowing Skin Face Wash: Featuring Niacinamide, this variant is ideal for those concerned about dullness caused by old keratin, promoting a transparent skin impression.

-
Dove Pearl Shine Pore Care Refreshing Skin Face Wash: Infused with Retinol, this cleanser targets blackheads and pore blockages, leading to visibly smoother skin.

-
Dove Pearl Shine Moisturizing Glowing Skin Face Wash: Containing Ceramide, this option helps wash away rough patches caused by keratin plugs, leaving the skin hydrated and glowing.

Each creamy face wash is available in a 140g size at an open price.
The Long-Awaited Cleansing Oil Arrives
A significant addition to the lineup is the “Dove Pearl Shine Cleansing Oil,” marking Dove’s first new cleansing oil in seven years. Its innovative formula rapidly blends with makeup and sebum, offering a light, smooth texture that effortlessly removes even waterproof mascara and stubborn pore impurities.

Dove’s Commitment to “Real Beauty, Real Care”
Dove’s brand purpose, “Your beauty, your way,” drives its mission to empower all women to recognize their inherent beauty. This philosophy is particularly resonant in Japan, where a 2017 study revealed that only 7% of teenage girls expressed confidence in their appearance. Dove believes that beauty should be a source of confidence, not anxiety.

The brand’s commitment extends beyond product development to offering educational opportunities in collaboration with external organizations to foster self-esteem. Furthermore, Dove consistently uses unedited images in its advertising to celebrate authentic beauty. This holistic approach ensures that every aspect of the brand supports its vision of empowering individuals to embrace their potential.
