Description

FANCL Facial Washing Powder 50g is a preservative-free amino acid powder cleanser for all skin types — transforming into a dense, springy foam on contact with water using FANCL's amino acid surfactant system derived from coconut and glutamic acid. It is the most widely used second-cleanse step in Japan — applied after an oil or balm cleanser to complete the double-cleanse routine with a gentle, moisture-preserving foam wash.

  • Lauroyl Glutamate Na — primary amino acid surfactant from coconut fatty acid and glutamic acid; cleans without disrupting the skin's natural acid mantle
  • Myristoyl Glutamate Na and Lauroyl Aspartate Na — secondary amino acid surfactants that provide additional foam density and texture
  • Hyaluronic Acid — incorporated into the formula to preserve moisture content during washing
  • Preservative-free (Mutenka) — no preservatives, fragrance, or alcohol
  • 50g jar — appears small; a dime-sized amount produces sufficient foam for a full-face wash; approximately 2–3 months supply

How it works: Amino acid-based surfactants (also called amino acid cleansers) have a pH close to the skin's natural acid mantle (pH 4.5–5.5), unlike SLS/SLES-based surfactants that are alkaline and disrupt the skin's acid-mantle balance. By cleansing at skin-compatible pH, amino acid cleansers remove sebum and impurities without the post-wash tightness or barrier compromise of conventional surfactants.

FANCL Washing Powder vs standard foam cleansers: The powder format keeps the amino acid surfactants stable without preservatives — standard liquid foam cleansers require preservatives to prevent bacterial growth in their water content. FANCL powder's active shelf life is therefore longer and its purity higher for skin that is sensitive to preservatives. For everyday second-cleanse use after oil cleansing, or as the sole cleanser for normal and sensitive skin, this powder is one of Japan's most consistently recommended pharmaceutical-grade options.

Known in Japan as ファンケル 洗顔パウダー 50g.

Key Ingredients
  • Lauroyl Glutamate Na (Amino Acid Surfactant) — primary cleanser derived from coconut fatty acid and glutamic acid; cleans without disrupting the skin's natural acid mantle
  • Myristoyl Glutamate Na & Lauroyl Aspartate Na — secondary amino acid surfactants that contribute to foam density and improve rinse-off feel
  • Hyaluronic Acid — incorporated directly in the powder formula to help maintain skin hydration through the cleansing process
  • Alpha-Glucan (Glucose-Derived Polysaccharide) — conditions the skin surface and helps minimise tightness after rinsing

HOW TO USE
  1. Measure approximately one teaspoon of powder into clean, dry palms.
  2. Add a small amount of lukewarm water and work into a dense foam — use the included net for faster, finer lather.
  3. Apply foam gently to face in circular motions without pressing the powder directly onto skin.
  4. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, then pat dry.
  5. Pro tip: use morning and evening — this formula has no exfoliating enzymes, so daily double-cleansing use is appropriate.

FAQ

Is this the same as an enzyme powder wash?

No. FANCL Facial Washing Powder contains no exfoliating enzymes — it is a pure amino acid cleanser in powder form. This makes it appropriate for daily use, including on sensitive skin, whereas enzyme washes are typically limited to 2–3 times per week.

How is this different from Suisai Beauty Clear Enzyme Powder?

Suisai contains proteolytic and lipase enzymes for deeper exfoliation and is best used 2–3 times weekly. FANCL Washing Powder has no enzymes — it's a gentle daily cleanser that prioritises moisture retention. Use both in rotation, or use FANCL daily and Suisai 2–3x weekly.

Can I use this without a foam net?

Yes — the powder dissolves quickly in water and lathers well by hand. The included foam net simply helps build a finer, denser lather faster.

FANCL Washing Powder vs. FANCL Mild Cleansing Oil — do I need both?

Yes, for different steps. The Cleansing Oil removes makeup and heavy sebum in the first cleanse. The Washing Powder is for the second cleanse — a gentle daily wash to clear what the oil step leaves behind and prep skin for toner.

Is this the Japan-domestic version?

Yes. This is the Japan-domestic formula sold at Matsumotokiyoshi and across Japanese drugstores. TokyoShelf sources directly from Tokyo — not export versions or gray-market supply.
