Powder type facial cleansers have been one of the biggest cosmetics trends in Japan in the past few years, especially the ones that contain enzyme. Enzyme works effectively for removing impurities from the skin and minimizing pores and as you continue using it, you can achieve smooth and clear skin with less visible pores.
If you are concerned with clogged pores, blackheads or excess sebum, powder type enzyme face wash is highly recommended. Even if you have combination or dry skin, it’s recommended to use once a week as a special care to get soft and clear skin. Some of products are made with gentle formula and suitable even for dry, sensitive skin.
Enzyme powder face washes and cleansers are usually packed individually for a single use in order to stabilize the function of the water-activated enzyme, which is also travel-friendly and easy to carry around.
In this article, I’d like to share the list of the best Japanese powder face washes that you may wanna try to achieve smooth and clear skin!
