InnerSignal Reset Make-Off Cream b contains several moisturizing ingredients, including AMP. On contact with the skin, micro-gel capsules burst and release a gentle cleansing oil that quickly adheres to make-up and sebum, making it easy to rinse or wipe away impurities. Distinguished by a fresh green floral fragrance, this cleansing cream leaves skin feeling clean, moist and smooth.

Formulated with moisturizing ingredient AMP, InnerSignal Reset Make-Off Oil b also features a fresh green floral fragrance. The cleansing oil quickly lifts and emulsifies even stubborn waterproof make-up and sebum that can clog pores, letting you rinse away impurities without stressing the skin.

In addition to these two innovative make-up removers, the new InnerSignal Starter Kit will offer women seeking a fresh, translucent complexion a convenient way to experience the complete InnerSignal skin care system.

Pursuing innovative research and development based on the concept of Cosmedics**, Otsuka Pharmaceutical has steadily expanded the InnerSignal line with a focus on basic skin care products - essence, lotion, emulsion, and cream - formulated with Energy Signal AMP***. This unique medicated active ingredient promotes cellular turnover by boosting the energy metabolism of mother cells deep within the skin, eliminating melanin that has served its purpose and preventing skin blemishes and freckles, paving the way for a clear, translucent complexion.
