Shiseido Extra Rich Cleansing Milk — Gentle Soap-Free Cleanser 125 mL, Deeply Moisturizing & Barrier-Supporting

Shiseido Extra Rich Cleansing Milk is a soap-free, deeply moisturizing facial cleanser formulated to remove impurities while preserving and boosting skin’s natural moisture barrier.

Designed for dry, very dry and sensitive complexions, this creamy cleansing milk washes away makeup and environmental buildup without stripping skin of oils. Enriched with mineral-rich Kirishima spring water, rice germ oil and Japanese yuzu seed extract, the formula emphasizes hydration and barrier support, making it an ideal first step in a Japanese-inspired skincare routine.

How does this cleanser protect skin moisture during washing?

The Extra Rich Cleansing Milk uses emollient-rich ingredients that coat and soften skin so water and surfactants don’t draw out essential lipids. It’s soap-free and crafted to leave a protective feel after rinsing rather than tightness.

• Kirishima mineral spring water replenishes trace minerals
• Rice germ oil forms a lightweight moisture veil
• Soap-free base reduces barrier disruption

Which active ingredients strengthen the skin’s barrier?

Shiseido combines its InternalPowerResist technology with the ImuCalm Compound to help fortify the skin against daily stressors. Antioxidant extracts such as hamamelis work alongside moisturizing botanicals to support resilience.

• ImuCalm Compound supports barrier recovery
• Hamamelis extract contributes antioxidant benefits
• Yuzu seed extract helps improve skin hydration levels

What is the best way to use the Extra Rich Cleansing Milk?

Dispense 2–3 pumps into dry palms and gently spread over the face, then add a little lukewarm or cool water to emulsify into a soft milky lather. Massage briefly to lift impurities, then rinse thoroughly and follow with your usual treatment and moisturizer.

• Use morning and night as first cleanse or daily wash
• Works well with dampening for a creamier lather
• Follow with toner/serum to maximize hydration

Will this cleanser suit sensitive or reactive skin?

Formulated without harsh soaps, the Extra Rich Cleansing Milk is targeted toward dry, very dry and sensitive skin types. Its calming and hydrating ingredient profile aims to minimize irritation while maintaining cleansing effectiveness.

• Soap-free and emollient-forward to reduce irritation risk
• Soothing botanical extracts to help calm skin
• Recommended patch-test if very reactive to new products

Who is this for: Shiseido Extra Rich Cleansing Milk is best for anyone with dry, very dry or easily irritated skin seeking a gentle daily or nightly cleanser that prioritizes hydration and barrier support. It’s especially useful for those who want a creamy, non-stripping wash that prepares skin for the next steps in a targeted skincare routine.
