Daiichi-Sankyo Minon Amino Moist Gentle Wash Whip is a soft foam cleanser developed by a pharmaceutical company specifically for sensitive and dry skin that needs not only to remove impurities but also to preserve its natural moisture levels. The formula is based on the concept of the skin's "moisture reservoir" (Moisture Reservoir Skin) — it hydrates the stratum corneum and strengthens its ability to retain moisture over time.
Key ingredients and their effects:
- Plant-based amino acid cleansing agents (sodium cocoyl alaninate, sodium cocoyl glutamate, sodium cocoyl methyl taurate) gently remove impurities, excess sebum, and dead skin cells without compromising the skin's hydro-lipid mantle. Cleansing is mild, without aggressive degreasing or a feeling of tightness.
- A complex of 9 moisturizing amino acids and sodium PCA helps replenish the skin's natural moisturizing factor, supports moisture balance in the stratum corneum, and maintains a comfortable feel.
- A ceramide-like amino acid component (lauroyl glutamate) helps strengthen the lipid barrier, reduces sensitivity to external irritants, and improves moisture retention.
- Two types of hyaluronic acid hydrate the skin both on the surface and within the stratum corneum, giving it a smoother, more plump, and well-groomed appearance.
- Soft Skin Clear complex (lysine HCl, carnosine, glucosyl rutin) helps soften the skin, reduce roughness, and support natural translucency and evenness of tone.
- Dipotassium glycyrrhizate helps soothe the skin and reduce irritation during periods of reactivity and heightened sensitivity.
The airy foam gently envelops the skin, delicately removing excess sebum, skincare residue, and dead skin cells without disrupting the protective barrier. After washing, the skin remains clean, fresh, soft, and comfortable, without dryness or a "squeaky" feel. The foam prepares the skin for the next stage of care, making it more receptive to serums and creams.
