Details & care

What it is: A cleansing foam that removes makeup and impurities while simultaneously moisturizing and improving the skin.

Who it's for: All skin types.

What it does: Prevents oxidation and optimizes your skin's power to defend against daily damage while preparing your skin to absorb softener. Skin will become visibly soft, smooth and supple.

How to use: Push the pump two to three times to dispense foam into the palm of hand and gently smooth over the skin to cleanse. Rinse thoroughly. For hard-to-remove makeup, use on dry face using dry hands. For waterproof mascara, an eye makeup remover is recommended.

Easy to use and effective!

I've been using a cleaning foam in a tube (for my cleansing routine in the shower) that costs double what this does (Nordies does not carry it anymore) and since I've long been a Shiseido fan I thought I would try this! I'm in love! I've had this now for almost 3 months and it's still going strong on my countertop. Now I'm getting one for my shower. I guess I have a smallish face, and I normally do not use any face makeup, but 1 pump is way more than enough for my Dior mascara and chanel eye pencil, as well as my Anastasia darkline (waterline)black pencil. I am older so would normally want something moisturizing, but this along with the softening lotion for normal to dry skin seems to work for me. 100% on board!

Oily After-Feel

I have been a loyal Shiseido customer since the line was re-introduced to the US in the 80s. I started out using the blue line and then progressed to Benefiance. When Shiseido discontinued the Softening Lotion, I was not happy but I stuck with them. I have tried several products from their other lines but never saw the same results as with Benefiance. Now they have discontinued the Benefiance cleanising foam that was really what kept me loyal to the line.This Complete Cleansing Microfoam left my face feeling oily after i was done rinsing it off. I hate it. I know they are trying to force their mature customers to buy the significantly more expensive Revitalizing cleanser but I've tried it and found it to be too creamy. After all this time-maybe it's time to find another brand.

Very drying

The foam wash is extremely drying to the skin.

One of my staple.

I'm on my 4th bottle, it's gentle but does it's job of cleansing my face, very economical too, one bottle would last me 2-3 months. Love this!

So versatile

Love this cleanser! It also acts as a makeup remover when putting it direction your face.

Not sure I would purchase again

The cleanser is creamy and doesn't dry out my skin, but it doesn't remove all of my eye makeup.

Much better than the cleanser

Compared to the clarifying cleansing foam or the oil cleanser, this micro foam is much better. It lathers really well and feels like it does get rid of the dirt on my face. I love the texture and it didn't leave my skin feeling dry.
