Matsumotokiyoshi Group's private brand matsukiyo is releasing a new addition to its popular Ultra-High-Pressure Vitamin C Derivative series — a limited-quantity cleansing water formulated with an azelaic acid derivative. The product goes on sale Saturday, July 11, 2026, at Matsumotokiyoshi Group and Cocokara Fine Group stores nationwide (excluding some locations) and on the official online store.
New Cleansing Water Joins the Popular Vitamin C Derivative Series
The new product is the sixth installment in the Ultra-High-Pressure Vitamin C Derivative series. Building on the existing cleansing water — already a No. 1 seller (as of June 2026) in the cleansing water category within the group — this limited-quantity release adds an azelaic acid derivative formulation.
The series has gained widespread popularity through social media, driven by its on-trend ingredient composition and easy-to-use bottle design. This new release takes inspiration from the existing cleansing water's strong reputation for pore care, focusing on summer skin concerns: enlarged pores caused by dryness and heat. The azelaic acid derivative, a trending ingredient in skincare, is included to support sebum care, pore care, and exfoliation.
The familiar refreshing-yet-moisturizing texture and one-handed cotton pump bottle from the original product are retained. Despite the addition of premium ingredients, the price remains the same as the existing version.
Suitable for evening makeup removal as well as morning cleansing in place of face wash, this product helps condition skin while preventing makeup from breaking down — ideal for summer months when heat and UV exposure tend to increase sebum-related concerns.
