Description
Gatsby Facial Wash Perfect Scrub — Deep Cleansing Scrub for Men, 130g
Gatsby Facial Wash Perfect Scrub by Mandom is one of Japan's best-known men's face washes — a no-nonsense, high-performance cleanser designed to tackle stubborn sebum, blackheads, and pore debris that regular washes miss. Its W Power Scrub Technology combines two sizes of scrub granules: larger particles remove surface roughness and dead skin, while finer particles penetrate deeper into pores to clear impacted sebum. The active ingredient isopropylmethylphenol (IPMP) delivers antibacterial action to help prevent breakouts, while hyaluronic acid maintains moisture balance so skin doesn't feel stripped after use. We ship this directly from our store in Kobe, Japan.

FAQ
What is the difference between the Perfect Scrub and the Micro Rich Scrub?
The Perfect Scrub uses a coarser, dual-size W Power Scrub for a stronger exfoliating effect — ideal for oily and combination skin that needs deep pore clearing. The Micro Rich Scrub uses finer granules with bentonite clay and defatted rice bran for a gentler clean — better suited for normal or sensitive skin. If your skin gets shiny quickly and you have visible blackheads, start with Perfect Scrub. If you have sensitive or drier skin, try Micro Rich Scrub.
Does this face wash dry out skin after use?
Gatsby Perfect Scrub is formulated with two types of hyaluronic acid to help maintain moisture balance after rinsing. Most users with normal to oily skin find the balance comfortable. If you have naturally dry or sensitive skin, you may prefer a lighter moisturizer immediately after washing, or consider the Micro Rich Scrub variant instead.
Is this product made in Japan?
Gatsby is a Japanese brand owned by Mandom Corporation (founded in Osaka in 1927), but this specific product is manufactured in Indonesia by Mandom's production facilities there. The brand formulation, quality standards, and distribution are controlled by Mandom Japan. This is the authentic Japanese market product — the same SKU sold in Japanese convenience stores and pharmacies.
Is this suitable for acne-prone skin?
Yes — the active ingredient IPMP (isopropylmethylphenol) has antibacterial properties that help control acne-causing bacteria on the skin surface. The scrub action also helps keep pores clear. However, if you have active inflamed acne (pustules or cysts), avoid scrubbing over those areas as mechanical exfoliation can worsen active breakouts.
How long does shipping take and will customs charges apply?
We process orders within 2–6 business days from our Kobe store. Worldwide transit typically takes 7–20 days. Import duties and taxes vary by destination — buyers are responsible for any applicable charges. Full tracking is provided for every order.
