The black cleansing balm “Deep Black” makes its debut from Perfect One Focus. Featuring pore-plug breakdown technology, it comes in 4 types suitable for use all over the face as well as on specific areas such as the T-zone and around the nose. Each 75g jar is priced at ¥2,970.
The newly announced “Perfect One Focus Smooth Cleansing Balm Deep Black” builds on the existing black cleansing balm with new technology that breaks down stubborn pore plugs and lifts them away. Designed to remove pore plugs and darkened buildup in one step through a combination of cleansing ingredients, charcoal and other components, it is suitable for the entire face as well as areas where sebum tends to build up and pores are more noticeable. The price is ¥2,970 for 75g, and the manufacturer is 新日本製薬.
Evolution POINT 1: Pore-plug breakdown technology disrupts the structure of pore plugs and lifts them away, while blackhead-clearing ingredients and enzymes work together. Evolution POINT 2: Intensively moisturising collagen, developed in-house, helps support tighter-looking pores. Evolution POINT 3: Five types of vitamins, including gold-infused vitamin C, as well as azelaic acid and fullerenes, are included to remove impurities while retaining moisture. Evolution POINT 4: The melting texture reduces friction, while a rose-and-orange fragrance enhances the user experience.
The 4-type cleansing balm lineup, allowing users to choose according to their needs, includes Smooth Cleansing Balm Deep Black, as well as Smooth Cleansing Balm Calming, Pure and the original yellow type. Each contains 75g and is priced at ¥2,970. Official information details the combination of skin-conditioning and moisturising ingredients, appealing also to consumers concerned about acne and pore care.
Usage recommendations tailored to different skin concerns emphasise combining pore care with moisturisation, and suggest introducing the product when darkened pores become a concern, such as during seasonal changes. Comments from the official website and magazine editorial staff also cover the actual feel and improvements to the texture, along with practical features such as the fragrance and the fact that no second cleansing is required.
