SHISEIDO SENKA Perfect Whip White Clay Foam Cleanser 120g

Senka perfect whip has been a fixture on Japanese drugstore shelves for years, and the reason is the foam. Worked up with water, a short squeeze turns into a dense, marshmallow-like lather that holds its shape on your palm. You wash with that foam rather than rubbing cleanser directly onto your face, which is what makes it feel gentle despite being an effective wash.

The White Clay edition is the version aimed at skin that looks dull or uneven in texture. It produces the same signature perfect whip foam in a bright white lather. The formula keeps the silk essence the line is known for, with sericin and hydrolyzed silk alongside sodium hyaluronate and sodium acetylated hyaluronate for the double hyaluronic acid the brand references.

As a foam cleanser it works as the second step in a double cleanse, after an oil or balm. Senka is a Shiseido line, which is why the formula punches above its price point.

●        Creates a dense cushion of foam so you are not rubbing product into your skin

●        Removes daily oil, sunscreen residue and grime effectively

1.     Wet your face and hands with lukewarm water.

2.     Squeeze about 1 to 2 cm of cleanser into your palm.

3.     Add a little water and work it into a dense foam. A foaming net will get you there faster.

5.     Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry.

6.     Follow with toner and the rest of your routine. Use morning and evening.
