Melano CC Face Wash: Deep Clear Enzyme Wash Ingredients & Use

Melano CC face wash is Rohto’s Deep Clear Enzyme Face Wash (メラノCC ディープクリア酵素洗顔), a 130 g foaming face wash that combines an enzyme (protease) with vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Rohto says the enzyme removes dirt and old dead skin cells, a clay (kaolin) foam lifts out pore dirt, and its vitamin C foam helps keep skin moisturised while you wash. It is the only face wash in the Melano CC range, and it costs ¥787 on Rohto’s official online shop.

This guide covers it based on Rohto’s official Japanese product page, promotion page, online shop and FAQ.

Specs from Rohto’s official Japanese product page, promotion page, online shop and FAQ (as of October 2026). Rohto sells it at an open price, with no suggested retail price, so store prices in Japan vary.

• Mineral-oil-free
• Menthol-free

Rohto’s FAQ states that the face wash contains no mineral oil, and menthol is not in its ingredient list. It does contain a preservative, a surfactant and fragrance.

Is Melano CC Face Wash an Enzyme Face Wash? Key Ingredients

Yes. Melano CC face wash contains protease, an enzyme that Rohto lists as a cleansing ingredient, in a tube rather than the single-use powder format many enzyme face washes come in. Rohto explains that enzymes become less effective when they touch water, and that it uses its own technology to keep the enzyme in a state that activates when you use it.

Because it is a cosmetic, Melano CC face wash has no active ingredients and makes no whitening claim: Rohto describes its vitamin C as a skin-conditioning, moisturising ingredient. Rohto’s FAQ also notes that the titanium dioxide in the list is used for colour, not for UV protection.

Melano CC Face Wash Ingredients: Full List

Melano CC face wash lists 24 ingredients on Rohto’s Japanese site, starting with glycerin and water, then fatty acids and potassium hydroxide that form the cleansing base. The enzyme, clay and vitamin C are highlighted in the table.

Ingredient list as published by Rohto Japan for メラノCC ディープクリア酵素洗顔 (checked October 2026). The English names are our translations of Rohto’s Japanese labelling names, and the roles are general descriptions except where Rohto states them. Formulas can change, so always check the package.

How to Use Melano CC Face Wash

Squeeze about 2 to 3 cm of Melano CC face wash into your palm, work it into a lather with water or lukewarm water, wash your face gently and rinse. Rohto recommends it for washing morning and night.

1. Squeeze about 2 to 3 cm into your palm.
2. Add water or lukewarm water and work up a lather.
3. Wash your face gently with the foam, then rinse it off.
4. Follow with the Melano CC toner and the rest of your routine.

Rohto’s Melano CC routine starts with this face wash, then lotion (toner), mask, serum, a gel, cream or milk from the Melano CC moisturizers, and UV milk in the morning. Rohto says you don’t need to use the whole line. Keep the foam out of your eyes, and if it gets in, rinse it out at once without rubbing. Once opened, Rohto recommends using it within about 6 months.

Does Melano CC face wash brighten skin?

Rohto says the enzyme removes dirt and old dead skin cells for smooth, clear-looking skin. It is a cosmetic, so it makes no whitening claim; Melano CC’s dark-spot-prevention claims belong to its medicated toner, serums and moisturisers.

Rohto-Mentholatum Malaysia uses the English name Melano CC Vitamin C Brightening Enzyme Face Wash, but Rohto doesn’t state whether the formulas sold in each country are identical. This guide covers the face wash sold in Japan, so compare the ingredient list on the tube with the one above.
