Description

Aqualabel Special Gel Cream EX Moist Smooth 90g is a 5-in-1 pore-smoothing gel cream for oily and combination skin with enlarged pores and dehydration — the only Aqualabel product containing Glycylglycine, a pore-care ingredient developed through four years of Shiseido research targeting the specific cellular causes of adult enlarged pores. Glycolic Acid GL refines surface texture simultaneously.

  • Glycylglycine — Shiseido R&D pore-care active targeting root causes of enlarged pores in adult skin
  • Glycolic Acid GL (Glycolic Acid + Glycerin) — smooths surface texture and refines uneven skin tone without standard AHA irritation
  • Soft-Shell emulsion technology — moisturises without stickiness; appropriate for oily skin
  • 5-in-1 format — toner, emulsion, cream, serum, overnight mask in one step
  • 90g — approximately 3 months of daily use

How it works: Adult enlarged pores are primarily caused by loss of skin elasticity around pore openings and excess surface cornification rather than sebum alone. Glycylglycine targets these adult-specific pore mechanisms. Glycolic Acid GL smooths the cornified surface cells that make pores appear larger through uneven texture around the pore opening.

Moist Smooth vs Brightening vs Oil In Aqualabel Gel Cream: Moist Smooth for enlarged pores and texture. Brightening for dark spots and dull tone. Oil In for fine dry lines and firmness. Match the variant to your dominant skin concern.

Known in Japan as アクアレーベル スペシャルジェルクリーム EX（モイストスムース）90g.

Key Ingredients
  • Glycylglycine — rare pore-smoothing ingredient developed over 4 years of Shiseido research that targets the root causes of enlarged pores in adult skin
  • Glycolic Acid GL (Glycolic Acid + Glycerin) — smooths and refines skin surface texture
  • Penetrating Beauty Amino Acids (D-Glutamic Acid, DL-Alanine, DL-Methionine) — rare D-amino acid complex that delivers sustained hydration to the stratum corneum
  • Double Hyaluronic Acid (Acetylated HA + Sodium HA) — dual molecular-weight hydration for both surface softness and deep moisture retention
  • Soluble Collagen GL — maintains skin bounce and supports a plump, resilient texture

HOW TO USE
  1. After cleansing, take an almond-sized amount on fingertips.
  2. Massage into the entire face. Then take a small additional amount and use fingertips to press into pore-concern areas in a circular motion.
  3. Press firmly with the pads of your fingers so the gel sinks into pores.
  4. For intensive care, apply a second layer over the whole face, leave for 3 minutes, then blend in.
  5. Use morning and night. Remove inner seal before first use.
  6. Pro tip: pair with Aqualabel Esthe Cleansing Gel before your routine for a 2-step pore care approach endorsed by Shiseido.

FAQ

What is the difference between Moist Smooth and the Brightening variant?

Moist Smooth focuses on pore care and deep hydration using Glycylglycine and a new Soft-Shell emulsification technology. Brightening contains the quasi-drug whitening active 4MSK for preventing dark spots. Choose Moist Smooth for texture and pore concerns; choose Brightening for uneven tone and spot prevention.

Is this suitable for dry skin?

Yes. The Soft-Shell emulsion technology locks in moisture for extended periods. Those with very dry skin may also layer the Aqualabel Treatment Lotion Brightening underneath for additional hydration before applying this gel cream.

Can I use it as a mask?

Yes. Apply a generous layer over the whole face and leave for about 3 minutes as a hydrating wash-off mask. This is especially effective before an event or on nights when skin feels particularly dehydrated.

How long does one tube last?

Approximately one month with morning and evening use at the recommended almond-sized amount. A refill pouch (81g) is available in Japan.

Is this the Japan-domestic version?

Yes. This is the Japan-domestic formula sold at Matsumotokiyoshi and Kokumin in Japan. TokyoShelf sources directly from Tokyo drugstores — not export versions, not parallel imports.
