L’Oréal R&I Japan develops new way to evaluate foundation coverage

DHC develops cleanser tech that addresses challenges of makeup removal for mature skin

DHC has developed balm cleanser technology designed to effectively remove makeup with less friction making it more effective and gentler for mature skin.

DHC study presented at the 49th Japan Society of Cosmetic Scientists suggested that traditional cleansing may not effectively push the cleansing agent into these deeper areas.

To address this issue, the company developed a balm cleanser that works to dissolve the makeup trapped within the pores, eliminating the need for any harsh scrubbing that will minimise irritation.
