Rushing out of the hotel in the morning? A no-foam cleanser can remove one step, but not every white Transino tube is the same. Let Irene help you find the Japanese Clear Gel Wash 110g, then separate everyday washing from the makeup it cannot be assumed to remove.
I’m Irene, a Taiwan-born pharmacist licensed in Japan and working in a Japanese drugstore. I want you to recognize the right package at the shelf and know what to do with it back at your hotel.
Find this package, not the tablets or foaming wash
Look for TRANSINO Clear Gel Wash on the box and tube, the Japanese name 薬用クリアジェルウォッシュ, and 110g. It is a Japanese quasi-drug cleanser, with the registered name DSジェルウォッシュ (DS Gel Wash). Do not confuse it with Clear Wash EX, a foaming cleanser, or oral Transino medicines.
Consider it for everyday cleansing, a routine without lathering, or light makeup. Its clarity claims concern cleansing, not washing away melasma or treating pigmentation. Do not use on wounds, swelling, eczema or other abnormal skin.
Three steps: dispense, spread gently, rinse well
1. A large cherry-sized amount
The maker specifies a large cherry-sized amount. Its basic directions start with dry hands, but wet hands and a wet face are also allowed. Neither pre-wetting nor drying your face completely is a requirement.
2. Spread gently, without foam
Gently spread over the face with your palms. Use circular movements on areas of concern for pore dirt; do not scrub hard or wait for the gel to turn into foam.
3. Rinse thoroughly
Rinse thoroughly with water or lukewarm water, using about 10–15 rinses as a guide. The aim is to remove the cleanser fully, not to stop automatically at 15. This guide does not add a leave-on mask time.
Irene’s diagrams based on official directions, not official artwork. Sizes are not to scale.
Light makeup is not every kind of makeup
The maker positions it for light makeup. ‘2 in 1’ does not mean every waterproof cosmetic or sunscreen is guaranteed to come off. For stubborn makeup, use a suitable remover according to that makeup’s directions rather than rubbing harder. If using the range’s Clear Cleansing EX and concerned about skin burden, the official FAQ advises against following it with this gel. Double cleansing is not an automatic requirement.
Stop for a reaction, rather than washing again
