Kotoshina's 3-Step Facial Cleansing
At KOTOSHINA, we keep our product lineup as simple as possible so skincare stays easy to enjoy — but when it comes to cleansers, we offer three different options.
That choice reflects just how much thought we put into cleansing, and our wish to make it easy for you to find the option that suits your skin type.
A cleanser's role isn't just about removing dirt.
It also plays a part in supporting "turnover" — the process by which old skin cells are replaced by new ones. Turnover follows its own natural cycle, and when that cycle works well, it produces skin that looks healthy, clear, and firm.
Turnover can be disrupted by lifestyle habits or UV exposure, but the wrong cleansing method can throw it off balance too. For example, using a cleanser that's too harsh can actually speed up turnover more than it should. That, in turn, strips moisture from the skin, leading to dryness and a weakened skin barrier. Even when you think you're cleansing properly, it can sometimes end up working against you.

To keep turnover stable, the key is choosing a cleanser suited to your skin type. Below, we've outlined the features of each so you can use it as a guide when choosing a KOTOSHINA cleanser.
