What it is
The smooth gel absorbs and removes makeup residue stuck deep within the skin's texture and pores. It loosens the roughness of the skin's surface (stratum corneum) while firmly protecting moisture. After washing, your skin will feel fresh and refreshed. It has a pleasant aqua floral scent. This rinse-off type can be used even with wet hands. *Package design may change without notice.
Ingredients
How to use

It's a white, translucent gel. It feels smoother when you apply it to your face than when you take it in your hand. It spreads very easily and blends into your entire face in no time. You remove your makeup in circular motions, and it absorbs into the gel in one go. Despite its light feel, it also thoroughly removes makeup that has penetrated into your pores. It's easy to rinse off with warm water, and it's completely stress-free. Just using this makes it feel like it's removed makeup thoroughly.
It has a strange, strong smell, like alcohol...I misunderstood the review of this face wash and bought it thinking it was a cleanser. The smell is okay, but the makeup removal is a bit lacking...it removes most makeup, but there are still some specks of dirt on the tip of my nose, so it's not as effective. It seems better to use a dedicated makeup remover for eye makeup. I had high hopes for this elixir, but I'm a bit disappointed with this product. I'll try looking for another cleanser.
It's a clear gel, so even a small amount spreads well and removes light makeup well. It does have an alcohol smell, which can make you cough a little. It cleanses well and leaves you feeling refreshed, but even something like Muji would have been fine, even if it wasn't this expensive. I won't be buying it again.
I had accumulated some Shiseido Beauty Key points, so I thought I might as well buy a cleanser. I looked at the reviews on Suzykirei, but I mistakenly bought the gel cleanser instead of the cleanser. The reviews weren't very good, so I was a bit worried when it arrived, but I didn't think it was bad. My skin felt a little tight, despite its cleansing power. Other than that, I have no problems, so I'll continue to use it along with other cleansers from other manufacturers (Dior, Est, Curel). The oils seem to have good reviews, so if I were to buy one, I'd like to try them out properly in a store before purchasing.
