E-SPECIAL by Dr. ERI Cleansing Gel V Serum-Like Makeup Remover & Cleanser 120ml

E-SPECIAL by Dr. ERI is a Japanese doctor's cosmetics skincare brand developed by Dr. Eri Katagiri, Supervising Director of Eri Clinic Omotesando in Tokyo. Drawing on her medical knowledge and her own experience with skincare, Dr. ERI developed the range around a simple philosophy: prioritise hydration, avoid over-cleansing, and care for the skin without unnecessary stress.

Cleansing Gel V 120ml

E-SPECIAL Cleansing Gel V is the brand's officially listed No.1 product, with cumulative sales of 450,000 units. Designed to cleanse with the feel of a beauty serum, it removes makeup, excess sebum and pore impurities while helping preserve the skin's moisture instead of relying on repeated cleansing.

The formula combines sodium hyaluronate, soluble collagen, edelweiss extract, dill extract and other skincare ingredients. Its smooth gel quickly blends with makeup and sebum, then emulsifies with water to lift away sweat, dust and other impurities. Makeup removal and facial cleansing are completed in a single step, with no double cleansing required. Skin is left feeling soft, smooth and moisturised.

Key Features

• Serum-like cleansing:
  Formulated with sodium hyaluronate, soluble collagen and botanical extracts to cleanse while helping maintain skin moisture.
• Makeup remover + facial cleanser in one:
  Removes makeup, excess sebum and pore impurities, while the emulsifying rinse also helps wash away sweat and dust. No second facial cleanser is required.
• For both morning and evening cleansing:
  Use it to remove makeup at night or as your standalone facial cleanser in the morning.
• Compatible with eyelash extensions:
  Officially suitable for use with eyelash extensions. It can also remove waterproof mascara, although particularly resistant formulas may require a dedicated eye makeup remover to avoid excessive rubbing.

Notes

Use on a dry face with dry hands. Particularly resistant waterproof eye makeup may require a dedicated eye makeup remover; avoid excessive rubbing around the eye area. Because the formula contains hyaluronic acid and oils, it may thicken or solidify at low temperatures. The brand recommends gently warming the container in warm water or shaking it thoroughly before use if needed.
