A medicated, menthol-fresh shaving gel that softens whiskers without pre-wetting, helps the razor glide with less friction, and supports razor-burn prevention for a cool, close shave.
About this product
Success Medicated Shaving Gel Fresh is Kao's clear, quasi-drug shaving gel for men that softens whiskers without pre-wetting the face. A menthol-cooled, carrageenan-based formula lets the razor glide smoothly while the see-through gel keeps the blade visible for a controlled, close shave.
How to use
- Squeeze out about one spoonful (3-4g) directly onto dry skin — no need to wash or wet your face first.
- Spread the gel evenly over the area you're shaving and let it sit briefly so it softens the beard.
- Shave as usual — because the gel is transparent, you can see the razor clearly for a precise pass.
- Rinse the treated area thoroughly with water once you're done.
Ingredients
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate — The quasi-drug active ingredient, included to help calm skin and support razor-burn prevention during shaving.
- Menthol — Delivers the cooling, refreshing sensation that gives this gel its "Fresh" character.
- Carrageenan — A seaweed-derived slip agent that helps the razor glide smoothly over skin.
- High-Molecular-Weight PEG — Works alongside carrageenan as a glide/cushioning ingredient to reduce blade friction.
- Carboxyvinyl Polymer — The gel-forming agent that creates the light, transparent texture so you can see the blade as you shave.
- Ethanol — Adds a light, quick-absorbing, refreshing finish to the gel.
FAQ
Do I need to wet my face before using this gel?
No — the transparent gel is formulated to soften whiskers on its own, so it works on dry skin without pre-soaking.
Is this a medicated (quasi-drug) product?
Yes, it's a Japanese quasi-drug (医薬部外品) containing dipotassium glycyrrhizinate to help calm skin and support razor-burn prevention; it's sold and used as a cosmetic shaving gel, not a medical treatment.
Can I actually see the blade while shaving with this gel?
Yes — the gel stays clear/transparent on skin, so you can watch the razor as you shave for better control.
🇺🇸 For US customers
