What Is Keana Baking Soda Scrub Wash?

Keana Nadeshiko Baking Soda Scrub Wash (毛穴撫子 重曹スクラブ洗顔) is a powder face wash for blackheads and stiff dead skin around the pores, in which baking soda acts as a soft scrub once mixed with water. It comes in a red bottle printed “KEANA Baking Soda Scrub Wash” and “パウダータイプ” (powder type). On the package and its Japanese product page, Ishizawa Lab names the pores it targets いちご毛穴 (“strawberry” pores, where plugs of old dead skin and sebum stretch the pores) and オレンジ毛穴 (“orange-peel” pores, where old dead skin hardened by dryness holds pores open). Ishizawa Lab recommends it for blackheads and stiff dead skin cells, including the bumpy texture on the sides of the nose. It says the baking soda scrub gently lifts dead skin cells and removes clogged sebum and dirt without damaging the skin, and that the amino-acid cleanser leaves skin moist and smooth.

How to Use Keana Baking Soda Scrub Wash

Lather a small amount lightly in your palm, wash the areas where pores bother you first, then the whole face, and rinse without rubbing. It is made to lather only lightly so it keeps a scrub feel, and you don’t need a foaming net.

1. Take an appropriate amount of powder in your palm.
2. Add water and lather lightly by hand. A thin, low foam is enough.
3. Wash the T-zone, cheeks and chin first, where pores bother you most, then gently wash your whole face.
4. Rinse thoroughly without rubbing.
5. Finish with cold water. Ishizawa Lab suggests a final cold-water rinse to make pores feel tight.

Scrub Wash vs Foam Wash vs Scrub Wash for Men N

Choose the Scrub Wash for blackheads and stiff dead skin, and the Baking Soda Foam Wash for bumpy, rough pores caused by dryness. Baking Soda Scrub Wash for Men N is the men’s version, with an enzyme and a cooling eucalyptus scent. Unlike the women’s Scrub Wash, Ishizawa Lab says to lather the men’s version until the foam is thick. See our Keana for men guide for the whole men’s line.

Keana Baking Soda Body Scrub (Baking Soda & Corn Body Wash Scrub)

Keana’s baking soda body scrub is a separate product, Baking Soda & Corn Body Wash Scrub (毛穴撫子 重曹洗えるスクラブ, ¥2,200 for 280 g), a body scrub and body wash in one for rough upper arms and heels. It combines baking soda with a soft scrub made from corn cobs, and Ishizawa Lab says it can be used every day, has a citrus essential-oil scent, and is free from synthetic fragrance, colourants, mineral oil, silicones, alcohol and parabens.

To use it, wet your skin, massage an appropriate amount over rough areas, then add water, lather lightly and rinse. It also works as an everyday body wash; for delicate areas, lather it well first.

On marketplaces such as eBay, check that the listing is the Scrub Wash in the red bottle rather than the Foam Wash in the red tube or the men’s version, as the names are similar. Proxy services that buy from Japanese stores on your behalf are another option, but the service fee they advertise is only the starting point, and various other charges are added on top by the time you check out. kachicollect’s purchase request does the same job with no proxy or request fees, and duties are shown before checkout.

FAQ

Can I use Keana Baking Soda Scrub Wash every day?

Yes. Ishizawa Lab’s FAQ is based on using it every morning and night, when one 100 g bottle lasts about 1 to 1.5 months. If your skin feels tight or irritated, use it less often.

Why doesn’t Keana Baking Soda Scrub Wash foam much?

Ishizawa Lab keeps the foam low on purpose to strengthen the scrub feel. A thin lather is enough.

Do I need a foaming net?

No. Ishizawa Lab says to lather it lightly by hand without a foaming net.

Is Keana Baking Soda Scrub Wash a physical exfoliant?

Yes. The baking soda acts as a scrub, which Ishizawa Lab describes as soft and mild once mixed with water.

Is Keana Baking Soda Scrub Wash OK for sensitive skin?

Ishizawa Lab’s product pages don’t describe it as made for sensitive skin, and the brand doesn’t publish its pH. It is fragrance-free with four ingredients, and Ishizawa Lab asks you to rinse without rubbing. If your skin is sensitive, try it on a small area first.

Is Keana Baking Soda Scrub Wash alkaline?

Ishizawa Lab doesn’t publish its pH, so we don’t give a number. In general, cleansers that lean alkaline clean strongly, and skin returns to its weakly acidic state after washing even if it shifts for a while. If your skin is sensitive, a cleanser labelled weakly acidic is one option to consider.

What’s the difference between Keana Scrub Wash and Foam Wash?

Ishizawa Lab recommends the Scrub Wash (a powder) for blackheads and stiff dead skin, and the Foam Wash (a cream with hyaluronic acid and collagen) for bumpy, rough pores caused by dryness.

Can I use Keana Baking Soda Scrub Wash on my body?

It is a face wash. For the body, Keana Nadeshiko makes Baking Soda & Corn Body Wash Scrub, a body scrub and body wash in one.

Can I buy Keana Baking Soda Scrub Wash outside Japan?

Yes. You can order it from Japan through kachicollect, from our catalog or with a purchase request for any listing on a Japanese store or marketplace, with worldwide shipping.

Conclusion: Is Keana Baking Soda Scrub Wash Right for You?

Keana Baking Soda Scrub Wash suits you if you want a simple, fragrance-free powder scrub for blackheads and stiff dead skin: four ingredients, a light lather and ¥1,320 for 100 g in Japan. If your pores are bumpy from dryness, the Foam Wash is the better match, and for rough skin on the body, choose the Body Wash Scrub.
