Takami Launches New Microgel PGA+HA for Pores, Shine, and Sensitive Skin

Takami, the skincare brand born from a Tokyo beauty dermatology clinic, releases a new water-gel moisturizer designed to control oil, hydrate skin, and minimize the appearance of pores until evening.

Takami, a skincare brand born in 1999 from a beauty dermatology clinic in Tokyo's Omotesando, has been caring for over 200,000 patients' skin. Building on the success of Takami Skin Peel—the No. 1 best-selling serum in Japan across department stores, direct retail, and e-commerce combined—the brand now introduces Takami Microgel PGA+HA on February 24, 2026.

This new water-gel maintains Takami's signature "wear your bare skin" philosophy while addressing common concerns like pores, shine, dullness, skin irritation, and dryness. The oil-free formula delivers fresh hydration, controls sebum production, and balances skin's moisture and oil levels to achieve smooth, refined skin with minimized pores.

Skin Balance Support with Beauty Ingredients

The formula combines micro aqua gel with beauty ingredients and sebum-absorbing powder to provide fresh moisture while controlling shine and stickiness. The hydrating yet refreshing texture makes it ideal for morning use before makeup application.

In user testing, 97% of participants reported the product felt non-sticky, and 98% said they would recommend it to friends.

Takami Water-Gel Balance Technology

1. Delivers Moisture

The micro aqua gel, composed of Sodium Hyaluronate and Sodium Polyglutamate, forms a water membrane on the skin surface and delivers moisture to every corner of the stratum corneum.

2. Controls Sebum

Sebum-absorbing powder penetrates into pores and skin texture, absorbing excess oil and controlling shine.

Safety-First Formulation Based on Dermatological Knowledge

The formulation is designed for safe use even by those prone to skin troubles. It features a non-silicone formula, has been tested under dermatological supervision, and is non-comedogenic. Suitable for sensitive skin. Alcohol-free, fragrance-free, and colorant-free.
