Shu Uemura Unveils New BlackOil
“Beautiful makeup starts with beautiful skin” – Mr. Shu Uemura. The timeless legacy of Shu Uemura oil cleansers transcends mere skincare; it’s a testament to purity, luxury, and the art of self-care. With a new era, Shu Uemura introduces its newest addition to the iconic cleansing oil range: blackOil Pore Purifying Fresh Cleansing Oil.
With the intense power of Japanese black charcoal and precious black rice, the blackOil provides long lasting freshness and superior cleansing best suited for oily and combination skin. Providing instant pore purification, the blackOil effectively removes dirt, dust, excess sebum and makeup – including waterproof mascara.
Key Ingredients:
- Japanese black rice: contains more than 18 amino acids designed to support healthy skin balance. Black rice prevents the degradation of collagen and hyaluronic acid while promoting anti-oxidation to skin barrier.
- Japanese charcoal: for long-lasting freshness and moisturising benefits to the skin.
- Mild peeling agent AHA/LHA: designed to gently exfoliate the skin, promotes skin smoothness and reduces the appearance of blackheads.
How to use:
- Use three to four pumps of blackOil cleanser onto dry hands.
- Gently massage onto face in circular motions to remove makeup.
- Wet hands to emulsify the blackOil cleanser and continue to massage.
- Rinse thoroughly with water.
Feel the difference on your skin after just one cleansing with blackOil, skin looks and feels more radiant, smoother and moisturised. The blackOil Pore Purifying Fresh Cleansing Oil retails for RM470 and is available at Sephora in-stores, online and all Shu Uemura stores.
