"My skin feels fresh right after washing, but a few minutes later it suddenly feels tight." "I feel like I need to apply moisturiser straight away." "My cheeks feel tight when I smile." Have you ever experienced this after cleansing? Skin tightness is often explained as: "The cleanser removed too much sebum." or "Your skin became dry." Both are certainly possible contributors. However, recent research suggests that the feeling of tightness may be linked not simply to dryness itself, but to the changes that occur as the skin dries. Let's take a look at what current research tells us.

When choosing a facial cleanser, have you ever heard things like: "Amino acid-based cleansers are gentler." "Soap-based cleansers have stronger cleansing power." There is some truth to these ideas. In fact, it is possible to estimate a cleanser's cleansing power to a certain extent by looking at the ingredient list. If you could use the ingredient list to choose a cleanser that better matches your current skin condition, selecting the right product would become much easier. In this article, we'll look at how cleansing power is commonly estimated from cosmetic ingredient lists, based on ingredient-labelling rules. We'll also explore both the general rules and some important exceptions, drawing on experience from cleanser formulation and development.

"My skin has been feeling a bit oilier lately, so I'd like something that leaves my skin feeling fresher." "My skin seems more sensitive than usual at the moment, so I'd prefer a gentler cleanser." Have you ever wanted to adjust your facial cleanser according to the season or your skin's current condition? Cleansing is an important step in any skincare routine. It helps remove excess sebum, dirt, and other impurities while supporting overall skin health. That's why choosing a cleanser with a level of cleansing power that suits your skin's current needs can be an important part of finding the right product. However, when researching cleansing power, you may come across various claims, such as: ・Can you tell how strong a cleanser is just by reading the ingredient list? ・Are amino acid-based cleansers always gentler? ・Are soap-based cleansers always stronger? ・Does tightness after cleansing mean your skin has been thoroughly cleaned? So, how should we actually think about the cleansing power of facial cleansers? In this article, we'll explore the topic from a cosmetic research and development perspective and explain it as clearly as possible.
