From dermatological beauty science brand Dr. Ci:Labo® comes a new pore-refining keratin-clearing serum.

Dr. Ci:Labo®, a skincare brand rooted in dermatological beauty science and dedicated to unlocking each individual's infinite potential for beauty, will launch a new peeling serum, "CliniPeel Essence" (https://www.ci-labo.com/Pr/Skincare/Booster-Serum/clinipeel_lp.html), on August 17, 2026.

To address rough skin texture and clogged pores and achieve healthy, renewed-looking skin, it's essential to simultaneously care for both keratin and sebum plugs, while also supporting the skin's barrier function afterward.

Developed with dermatological beauty science insight, Dr. Ci:Labo®'s CliniPeel Essence features CliniPeel Technology to gently exfoliate and clear sebum plugs, while also supporting the skin's barrier function. This is a next-generation exfoliating serum designed to smooth skin texture and help prevent buildup, resulting in soft, smooth, refined skin.

Achieving both high peeling efficacy and skin gentleness: Dr. Ci:Labo®'s unique CliniPeel Technology

A skin-nurturing peeling concept: not forcibly removing keratin and sebum plugs, but cultivating skin that resists buildup

Smooth skin is the foundation of beauty. Rather than stripping away keratin and sebum plugs—a process that stresses the skin—Dr. Ci:Labo®'s dermatological beauty science approach focuses on the skin's natural turnover. By creating an environment where dead skin cells and sebum plugs are less likely to accumulate, it helps reveal fresh, smooth, and pure-looking skin. With a low-irritation formula that balances powerful peeling action with skin gentleness, this serum can be used daily.

This skin-nurturing peeling concept refines skin texture and helps prevent keratin and sebum plug accumulation, leading to smoother, more even skin.

CliniPeel Technology: awakening the skin's innate beauty

A dual-action approach—"activating," "refining," and "supporting" both the skin's surface and inner layers—for newborn-like smoothness.

Promotes a skin environment where aged keratin is more easily shed. Targets dead skin cells and excess sebum to improve surface roughness caused by keratin and sebum plugs. Features a mild, skin-friendly acid among AHAs.

A next-generation, low-irritation, highly moisturizing keratin-care ingredient that also addresses surface roughness.

Supports the skin's barrier function.

Keeps skin deeply hydrated and maintains its smooth, healthy state.
