Join centuries of Japanese tradition for skin that glows with health and calm.
Cleanse, soothe, and restore your skin to mochi-like suppleness with our moisture-rich, non-foaming cleanser — thoughtfully crafted to cleanse without stripping.
At the heart of this luxurious formula is sake kasu, a time-honored Japanese ferment known for its rich concentration of amino acids, enzymes, and antioxidants that nourish and visibly improve skin texture and appearance.
Paired with green tea and aloe vera, this calming cleanser helps reduce the look of redness, support the skin barrier, and leave your complexion feeling hydrated, balanced, and refreshed — never tight or dry.
This gentle cleanser is also enriched with hydrating plant oils, fermented botanicals, and a blend of antioxidant-rich superfruits and sea extracts to help replenish skin while washing away impurities, light makeup, and the stress of the day.
- Non-foaming, pH-balanced, and perfect for sensitive, dry skin, and reddened skin
- Leaves skin soft, supple, and visibly calmer after every wash
- No complicated routines — just one step to calm, hydrated skin
- 100% vegan
- Free of synthetic fragrances, artificial colors, and parabens
Inspired by Japanese cleansing rituals, this gentle face wash is where the journey of calm skin and deep hydration begins.

1. Wash your hands before cleansing to avoid transferring bacteria from your fingers to your face
2. Pump a quarter-size amount in your hand and gently apply using circular motions and light pressure
3. After 60 seconds, rinse off with lukewarm water (don't use steaming hot water, as it will strip your skin of essential oils, leaving your skin feeling drier)
4. Pat dry with a clean towel
For best results: Use the Yu-Be Hydrating Face Wash twice a day — once in the morning and once at night — and always follow it up with the Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream, Yuzu Pure Hydration Cream, or the Yu-Be Advanced Formula Pure Hydration Cream to help lock the moisture into your skin!
1. Is the Hydrating Face Wash safe for sensitive or eczema-prone skin?
Yes! This cleanser was formulated to be extremely gentle, non-foaming, and free from fragrance, alcohol, and parabens — making it a great choice for sensitive or reactive skin. It contains sake kasu, green tea, and fermented mushrooms to calm, hydrate, and support a healthy skin barrier.
2. Will this cleanser dry out my skin?
Not at all. This formula is designed to cleanse without stripping, thanks to its blend of humectants, fermented ingredients, and lightweight oils that help your skin retain moisture.
3. Does the Hydrating Face Wash foam?
No, it’s a non-foaming cleanser. That means it won’t create a bubbly lather, but it will leave your skin feeling clean, soft, and balanced — not tight, stripped, or squeaky.
4. What is the pH level of the Hydrating Face Wash?
The pH level of the Hydrating Face Wash is 5.5, just acidic enough to give you the best complexion!
5. Can the Hydrating Face Wash help remove makeup?
The Hydrating Face Wash can help to remove makeup if you use only a light layer of makeup. It can also help to finish off the removing of your makeup by cleansing your skin after you initially wipe off the top layer of makeup.
If used as a makeup remover, make sure to repeat the wash and rinse off process twice.
6. Should I wet my face before applying the Hydrating Face Wash?
We recommend first massaging the cleanser into all areas of your face without water, for up to 30 seconds. Then wet your hands slightly and continue cleansing your face for another 30 seconds before rinsing off with lukewarm water and patting dry (60 seconds total is the minimum amount of time you should apply the cleanser in order for the ingredients to be effective).
7. How often should I use the Hydrating Face Wash?
Since the Hydrating Face Wash is made with gentle, non-abrasive and non-stripping ingredients, you can use it as often as desired. Ideally, every morning and evening, and also when you need to remove a light layer of makeup.
8. Is Yu-Be cruelty free?
There is no animal testing done with Yu-Be products at any of our facilities.
9. Is Yu-Be paraben free?
All Yu-Be products are paraben free.
10. Is Yu-Be vegan?

11. Does Yu-Be contain petroleum?
No, Yu-Be is 100% petroleum free.

It’s not just skincare. It’s knowing what your skin deserves.
As a cancer patient, I lost my hair. Through this time I have used both the face wash and the scrub. Without hair to absorb oils and sweat, my scalp could get pretty dirty. With the face wash and scrub to polish and clean the dome, I kept my hair follicles and scalp clean for my hair to grow back optimally.
Dear Jo Anna,
We never thought our products could be used to help effectively grow back hair, so we are so happy to hear that it's helping you in this way! More importantly, we are so happy for you in hearing that your hair is growing back after the treatment ♥
Sincerely,
Team Yu-Be
I received the face wash as a bonus, and I ve never felt a smoother, more refreshing face cleanser in my life. I'm used to pharmaceutical grade cleaners, and this product doesn't strip the moisture from my skin like my other cleansers. I feel refreshed, no harsh anything, and my acne pron r skin is actually clearing up!! Thank you so much for introducing me to your cleanser!!
Hi Jena,
We're so thrilled that you love our cleanser and that it's helping you clear up your acne! Most cleansers strip your skin of its natural protective barrier, which can conversely end up being the cause of acne, so we're glad you found our cleanser :)
Happy soft skin,
Shari @ Yu-Be
I LOVE this face wash so much. Someone gave it to me and the first time I washed my face with it I immediately got such a relaxed spa-like feeling from the beautiful scent and the smooth texture - it filled up my senses with calm peace and a fringe benefit was the smooth supple feeling to my skin. After I dried my face it glowed. I am on my third bottle - got one more for my shower and one for my vanity.
Gentle and moisturizing for my dry chemo skin. Leave it on for a couple of minutes to get a quick mask experience. Nourishing ingredients. Very little of the product to do the trick.
I just love the hydrating face wash and have just only this product for more than a year. It leaves my face feeling clean, smooth and refreshed. A wonderful product!
