CHOOSING THIS FORMULA
The U.S. product page says to lather a small amount with water, gently massage over the face, and rinse. It suggests morning and evening as needed. The page does not specify an exact dose or contact time.
The ingredient list includes sodium lauryl sulfate, fragrance, rice bran oil and rice extract, along with other cleansing and conditioning ingredients. It is not fragrance-free. Check the complete list below if you avoid a particular ingredient.
The brand says the cleanser helps brighten and hydrate while washing away dirt and makeup residue. The product page does not give a test protocol or measured result for a change in skin tone. Read this as brand positioning, not a promise of a complexion result.
This cleanser is lathered with water before you massage it over the face. A cleansing oil is applied to dry skin and emulsified before rinsing. They are different formats and steps; the brand pages do not establish which removes a specific makeup or sunscreen better.

Calculations use complete ingredient lists for the stated market and product version. Listed names do not establish concentrations, equivalent effects or allergy suitability.
Explore products in the same use group with overlapping ingredient lists, then compare their texture, directions and ingredient differences.
Candidates share the page’s language, market context and use group and have a complete ingredient list available. Names are normalized for spacing and reviewed synonyms; duplicate names count once.
The default order divides shared names by all distinct names across both lists: 10 shared names out of 20 distinct names gives 10 ÷ 20. You can instead order by the number of shared names. Up to five candidates are shown.
Ingredient overlap does not establish equivalent effects or a cheaper substitute. Concentrations, ingredient order, finished-product tests and feel are not part of this calculation. Missing lists are not treated as missing ingredients.
