Nasora HC Clay Cleansing: Gentle Makeup Removal for Pores, Excess Sebum, and Dry Skin

In this article, I will explain Nasora HC Clay Cleansing, a wrinkle-conscious cleansing product that I supervised and helped develop.

It was designed for people who want to remove makeup, excess sebum, and pore impurities thoroughly while reducing the tight, dry feeling that can occur after cleansing.

What Is HC Clay Cleansing?

Removes Makeup and Pore Impurities Without Leaving the Skin Feeling Tight

Many people want a cleanser that removes makeup thoroughly but do not want to experience dryness, tightness, or irritation after washing.

HC Clay Cleansing was developed to balance effective cleansing with a gentle-feeling finish.

Its mild cleansing base is supported by two types of clay—Okinawan sea silt, also known as Kucha, and bentonite—to help lift makeup, excess sebum, and impurities from the skin.

The formula also contains multiple moisturising and skin-conditioning ingredients to help reduce the dry, uncomfortable feeling that may follow cleansing.

Clay-Based Cleansing

Helps adsorb excess sebum, makeup, and pore impurities

Moisturising Ingredients

Helps the skin retain moisture after cleansing

Gentle Daily Use

Designed to balance cleansing performance with skin comfort

Please note: This is a cosmetic cleansing product. Product compatibility and the cleansing experience vary depending on skin type, makeup products, and how the cleanser is used.

Nasora HC Clay Cleansing skincare features

Who May Benefit from HC Clay Cleansing?

✓ People concerned about pore impurities, excess sebum, or a dull-looking complexion
✓ People whose skin feels tight or dry after cleansing
✓ People who want to remove long-wearing makeup in one cleansing step
✓ People who find strongly cleansing products irritating
✓ People looking for a cleanser that can generally be used with eyelash extensions

Key Feature: Clay-Supported Cleansing

Gentle cleansers can sometimes feel less effective at removing long-wearing makeup, sebum, or pore impurities.

HC Clay Cleansing is designed to compensate for this by incorporating clays with adsorptive properties.

Okinawan Sea Silt, Also Known as Kucha

Uses fine sea-silt particles sourced from Okinawa
Helps adsorb pore impurities and excess sebum
Supports cleansing while reducing unnecessary removal of skin oils

Bentonite

A naturally derived clay mineral
Helps adsorb oil, makeup residue, and impurities
Supports cleansing performance while maintaining a gentle-feeling formula

The combination of sea silt and bentonite helps strengthen the product’s ability to remove makeup, excess sebum, and pore impurities.

Moisturising and Skin-Conditioning Ingredients

A cleanser that focuses only on removing makeup may leave the skin feeling dry, rough, or uncomfortable.

HC Clay Cleansing contains several moisturising and skin-conditioning ingredients to help protect the skin’s condition during and after cleansing.

Four Types of Hyaluronic Acid

Ingredient	Role in the Formula
Sodium Hyaluronate	Helps maintain hydration on the skin surface
Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate	Supports a soft, moisturised skin feel
Hydrolysed Sodium Hyaluronate	A lower-molecular-weight moisturising ingredient
Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer	Helps support longer-lasting surface hydration

Using several forms of hyaluronic acid helps reduce the tight feeling that can occur after cleansing and supports a moisturised skin finish.

Collagen and Elastin

Water-soluble collagen
Hydrolysed elastin

These skin-conditioning ingredients are included to support a smoother skin feel and a firmer-looking appearance after cleansing.

DMAE

DMAE is included as a skin-conditioning ingredient. It is commonly used in skincare designed for people concerned about reduced firmness and age-related changes in skin appearance.

AQASPEED Botanical Extract Complex

AQASPEED is a combination of plant-derived extracts included to support moisture retention in the outermost layer of the skin.

Main Components

Watermelon fruit extract
Apple fruit extract
Lentil fruit extract

Purpose in the Formula

Supports moisture retention in the stratum corneum
Helps improve the appearance of fine lines caused by dryness
Supports a smoother, more hydrated-looking complexion

Designed to Balance Cleansing Performance and Skin Comfort

HC Clay Cleansing was developed using a mild cleansing concept while addressing a common concern with gentle cleansers: insufficient cleansing power.

The formula uses sea silt and bentonite to strengthen the removal of makeup, excess sebum, and pore impurities. Moisturising and skin-conditioning ingredients are then added to support a more comfortable finish.

Designed to Remove Long-Wearing Makeup

The clay-supported cleansing formula helps dissolve and lift makeup from the skin.

Helps Remove Excess Sebum and Pore Impurities

Sea silt and bentonite help adsorb excess oil and impurities.

Aims for a Less Dry, Tight Finish

Hyaluronic acid and other moisturising ingredients help support skin comfort after rinsing.
