What it is
This product is packed with the benefits of 100% natural botanicals. Each product is carefully crafted over three months using a frame-kneading method that allows for a rich blend of beauty ingredients, allowing for slow drying. The rich, velvety lather absorbs dirt without scrubbing and gently exfoliates. Additionally, 10 Japanese and Chinese herbal ingredients protect sensitive skin, providing thorough support for a balanced skin environment and preventing dryness. The subtle aroma relaxes the mind and body, creating an elegant cleansing experience. After washing, you'll experience a sigh of relief as your skin is left smooth and refined. . Note: Starting with the July 2024 production run, we have switched to safer, natural ingredients. As a result, color and scent may change over time. This is due to the use of only natural ingredients, without the use of chemicals. We hope you enjoy the unique character and texture of each product. However, there is no change in quality or feel, so please use with confidence.

How to use
1. Wet your face with cold or lukewarm water and lather the soap using the included foaming net. (*Because Junoa R is made from natural ingredients, it tends to be a little difficult to lather, so we recommend using a foaming net.) 2. Apply the foam to your entire face and wash gently, starting with your forehead, nose, and around your nostrils. Never rub, but use plenty of foam to gently massage your entire face. 3. Leave the foam on your entire face as a pack for around 3 minutes. 4. Rinse thoroughly with plenty of cold or lukewarm water, even around the hairline and other areas where foam tends to remain.

Penelope Moon's "Junoa R" facial cleanser, a Tsuki Beauty skincare brand, is formulated with traditional Japanese and Chinese herbal ingredients. Penelope Moon's "R Series" skincare is gentle enough for sensitive and troubled skin, while also providing anti-aging, whitening, and exfoliating benefits. Made with 100% natural ingredients, this highly functional facial cleanser also features cleansing properties that remove makeup. It contains 10 traditional Japanese and Chinese ingredients, including Houttuynia cordata extract, peony extract, bamboo grass extract, sophora root extract, ginger root extract, angelica root extract, ginseng root extract, peach leaf extract, Cnidium rhizome root extract, and Swertia japonica extract. It also contains astaxanthin (Adonis palestina flower extract) for enhanced antioxidant properties. The formula contains all-natural aromas, including lavender oil, bergamot oil, palmarosa oil, orange oil, juniper oil, ylang-ylang flower oil, bitter orange flower oil, mayonnaise leaf oil, jasmine oil, and carnation flower oil, for a relaxing, natural fragrance. The original foaming net makes it easy to create fluffy foam. It lathers well, leaving skin feeling moisturized and smooth after washing. It's said that the Japanese and Chinese herbal ingredients are most effective on the full moon, starting from the new moon, and are said to be at their most effective on the full moon! It's been about two weeks since I started using it from the new moon, and I feel like my skin is gradually becoming healthier! Just using this Tsukibi Skincare Penelope Moon R Series seems to bring the power of the moon into my skin.
I bought this soap from GLADD for ¥3,800 (not much of a discount from the ¥4,180 retail price...). It claims to be 100% natural, and while titanium oxide and mica are certainly derived from natural minerals, I'm not sure if they're necessary ingredients for soap, so I'm giving it a minus one star. While I'm declaring a minus right from the start, I'd say the soap is worth the price. It thoroughly removes dirt without removing excess sebum. The red color is actually astaxanthin, which produces a light red lather. While foam masks are officially recommended, I recommend rubbing the product against a wet face, then lathering the soap ingredients on your face. It really cleanses your pores. I wondered if this is what carnation oil smells like, but the carnation has a slightly spicy undertone, and the main notes are definitely citrus and jasmine. Still, it's a lovely scent. I think it lasts a little over a month if you use it morning and night, so the subscription fee of 3,344 yen with free shipping is not too bad. It also comes with a special foaming net in the box, but since you don't need it every time, I wish it was about 300 yen cheaper.
My family has been using this product for many years, from men with acne to those in their 50s. I was disappointed when it was temporarily discontinued. Foam packs are popular now, but this product came with a foaming net from the beginning. When washing your face in the bath, lather it up well and apply it to your face and décolleté as a foam pack. If you lather it up well, the foam won't collapse even if you press it in a little. It doesn't require rubbing, so it's very good for your skin. It leaves your skin feeling refreshed and properly cleansed. But it doesn't dry out or make your skin feel tight. It's a soap type, so it lasts a long time.
I saw this face soap on Instagram and I've been curious about it ever since. It even came with a face wash net. It's red and cute, and it's fluffy and soft and smooth. The foam pack feels great and leaves your skin feeling moisturized after washing. When I use it in the bath, I use it as a luxurious foam pack from my face to my décolleté. This soap is love at first sight. I fell in love with it because of its appearance, but it's also easy to use. It looks and feels great, and I received it as part of a soap giveaway, so I can give it my full stamp of approval.
