A Breakthrough in Cleansing Science: Select Cleanse Technology
The core of this renewal lies in FANCL’s newly developed “Select Cleanse Technology.” This innovative approach stems from extensive research into how cleansing ingredients interact with the skin’s internal structure. Researchers discovered that the molecular size of cleansing components significantly impacts their penetration into the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the skin. Smaller molecules, it was found, could penetrate more deeply, potentially disrupting the skin’s vital barrier function.
With this insight, FANCL developed unique cleansing components specifically designed to avoid deep penetration into the stratum corneum. These components are combined with specialized oils that effectively dissolve stubborn makeup, pore plugs, and unwanted sebum. The result is a cleansing oil that rigorously removes impurities without stripping the skin of its natural moisture, leading to a balanced and healthy complexion. It’s like a gentle yet powerful magnet for dirt, leaving the skin feeling refreshed, not parched.
An Elevated Sensory Experience
The enhanced formula also introduces a “rich, smooth oil” texture. This development provides a more cushioned application, reducing friction on the skin during use and allowing the oil to spread effortlessly. Furthermore, the oil rinses away instantly upon contact with water, leaving no sticky residue or tight sensation often associated with some cleansers. This quick-rinse feature ensures that makeup and impurities are thoroughly washed away, preventing re-adherence and leaving the skin feeling remarkably clean and comfortable.
A Legacy of Skincare Innovation
Since its initial launch in 1997, the “Mild Cleansing Oil” has consistently adapted to evolving consumer needs, adding new functions and improving the user experience. The cleansing market today demands more than just makeup removal; it seeks added value such as deep pore cleansing and convenience, a trend largely driven by the popularity of oil-type cleansers. However, alongside this demand, concerns about cleansers potentially stripping essential moisture and causing dryness have also grown. This renewal directly addresses these concerns, offering a solution that satisfies both the desire for thorough cleansing and the need for moisture protection.
This commitment to continuous improvement demonstrates why FANCL’s Mild Cleansing Oil has garnered such a loyal following. It’s a product that truly listens to the skin’s needs, evolving with scientific advancements to offer an even better experience. As one long-time user might exclaim, “My holy grail just got even holier!”
