The newly evolved Perfect One Focus Deep Black has launched. It was presented as featuring new technology that breaks down pore plugs and intensive moisturizing ingredients, combining pore care and makeup removal in a single product. An actual use report described improved moisturization after the renewal and the results of testing its removal of eyeliner.
At an event held by Shinnihonseiyaku and MAQUIA, the renewed Perfect One Focus Deep Black, designed specifically for pore care, was introduced. It features the "Pore-Plug Breakdown Technology," an evolution of the previous black cleansing balm, and improvements in the after-wash feel and ease of use were emphasized. Product information also stated that it comes in a 75g size and is priced at the same ¥2,970 including tax as the previous product.
The new ingredients highlighted were Blackhead Clear ingredients that break down pore plugs, protein-adsorbing charcoal that captures pore plugs, antioxidant gold vitamin C and mandelic acid for mild exfoliation. These were described as strengthening the product's action on pore plugs compared with the previous version and providing pore and dead-skin care at the same time.
In testing the product's feel, the fact that no second facial wash is needed was said to save time, while improved moisturization after washing was reported to make dryness less noticeable. In actual makeup-removal testing, waterproof eyeliner broke down as it was worked in with the fingertips, and the friction-free texture was rated suitable even for the delicate eye area.
The basic application procedure was also reconfirmed: take a small amount, spread it over the entire face, work it in with circular motions, focusing on the pores, and rinse with water or lukewarm water. The comparison of the new and previous versions emphasized differences in their action on pore plugs and in the finish resulting from the addition of intensive moisturizing ingredients designed to firm delicate skin.
