Questions about WA SO SEN Adlay Face Wash 150g

Got questions? We’ve got answers!

Q1: What is adlay?

Adlay is a grain, sold in Japanese skincare as hatomugi and known elsewhere as coix seed or Job's tears. It has a long history in Japanese and Chinese skincare and is the single ingredient the whole WA SO SEN range is built around.

Q2: Is this the same as Naturie Hatomugi?

No. Naturie is a separate brand from Imju. Both ranges are built around the same botanical, adlay or hatomugi, and the packaging styles look similar, but the formulas and the companies behind them are different.

Q3: Can I use it morning and night?

Yes. It is a daily foaming cleanser. At 150g the tube is sized for twice-daily use.

Q4: Do I still need an oil cleanser?

If you wear makeup or sunscreen, use an oil or balm cleanser first and follow with this as the second step. On a bare-faced day it works fine on its own.

Q5: Will it leave my skin feeling tight?

Hyaluronic acid is included specifically to soften that squeaky, tight feeling that foaming cleansers can leave. Follow with a toner and moisturiser as usual.
