TIRTIR Matcha Pack Cleanser Review

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

I have been using TIRTIR skincare for a while, and have been quite impressed by their efficacy, innovation and affordability, and I am always excited to try their products. I recently began testing their Matcha Collection, and am quite impressed by the TIRTIR Matcha Pack Cleanser. They have a novel approach to using this cleanser in that you apply it to dry skin, leave it on for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then wet the skin and massage it into a lovely lather, and rinse thoroughly. The idea is that the Matcha exfoliants and exfoliating acids first loosen up dead skin cells and sebum, and then you lather, wash and rinse afterward. It works tremendously well, and the formula isn't in the least bit stripping or drying for me. I find that it effectively, and gently, exfoliated dead skin cells, loosens up sebum and pore congestion and leaves my skin soft, incredibly smooth and luminous. It is gentle on my often finicky and sensitive skin, and it has no discernible fragrance. It is, in my estimation, a very lovely cleanser and it works perfectly for my normal/combination skin.

According to TIRTIR,

Sticky Pack-to-Foam Cleanser for Deep Cleansing and Skin Relief. Introducing the TIRTIR Matcha Pack Cleanser — a unique sticky pack-to-foam cleanser that redefines the cleansing step for sensitive, redness-prone and sebum-concerned skin. Formulated with Matcha-PDRN (5,000 ppm) and a powerful Dual Green Powder complex, this innovative T0 (pre-step) cleanser delivers deep pore cleansing, gentle exfoliation and visible redness relief — all in a single, satisfying step.

The cleanser begins as a smooth, adherent gel-like texture that clings to skin and penetrates deep into pores to dislodge impurities and excess sebum. With 30 seconds to 1 minute of contact time, it activates its four exfoliating acids to gently soften and remove dead skin cells, then transforms into a rich foam for a thorough yet non-stripping rinse. The result: measurably cleaner pores, smoother texture, and noticeably calmer, less red skin after just one use.

Formulated with 74% skincare-grade ingredients and free from artificial colours, the TIRTIR Matcha Pack Cleanser delivers a clean, natural finish that soothes as it purifies — making it the ideal first step in any redness-management or sensitive skin routine.

Key Technology & Innovation Claims:

Deep Cleansing with Matcha Powder: Contains 5,000 ppm Jeju Matcha-PDRN for soothing and cleansing, helping remove impurities and calm the skin after just one use. The matcha powder base acts as a micro-physical exfoliant while the PDRN component simultaneously soothes and protects.

Gel-Like Texture for Pore Care: The soft, bouncy gel texture adheres closely to the skin on application, working into pores to lift and remove sebum and debris. This contact-phase action is what makes the sticky pack format more effective at deep pore cleansing than conventional foam cleansers that rinse through immediately.

Safe, Natural Finish" Free from artificial colours and formulated with 74% skincare-grade ingredients, the cleanser leaves the skin with a soothing, natural finish that is gentle enough for sensitive skin types. No harsh stripping, no post-cleanse tightness.

Dual Green Powder & Exfoliating Acids: Combines multiple green powders with four exfoliating acids for a dual-action approach: physical removal via green powder and chemical softening via acids — delivering gentle but thorough removal of dead skin cells without irritation or over-exfoliation.

Skin Concerns Addressed:

• Redness & Skin Sensitivity
• Sensitive Skin Prone to Irritation
• Excess Sebum and Congested Pores
• Dead Skin Cell Build-Up and Dullness
• Uneven Skin Texture
• Blackheads and Flakiness

Directions: The TIRTIR Matcha Pack Cleanser is applied as a sticky, gel-like pack that adheres directly to the skin rather than lathering immediately. This contact time — 30 seconds to 1 minute — allows the green powder exfoliants and four exfoliating acids to actively loosen impurities, dead skin cells, and sebum within the pores before the formula is emulsified with water into a foam and rinsed away. Regular foam cleansers rinse through too quickly for this level of pore contact and exfoliating efficacy.

Key Ingredients: 

Matcha-PDRN (5,000 ppm) Jeju Island Extract:  A patented polynucleotide derived from Jeju Island matcha, formulated at 5,000 ppm for effective calming and protection during the cleansing step. Shields the skin from external irritants and helps keep the skin calm throughout the cleansing process — particularly important for reactive and redness-prone complexions.

Green Powder Complex (5,000 ppm) Dual Exfoliating Powder Blend: A triple-action green powder blend totalling 5,000 ppm that removes dead skin cells and purifies the complexion without irritation. Comprises Jeju Matcha Powder (3,000 ppm) for antioxidant-rich cleansing, Tea Tree Leaf Powder (1,000 ppm) for antibacterial sebum control, and Houttuynia Cordata Powder (1,000 ppm) for soothing and anti-inflammatory support.

4 Exfoliating Acids (Gentle Dead Skin Cell Removal): A carefully balanced acid complex — Lactic Acid, Betaine Salicylate, Gluconolactone, and Capryloyl Salicylic Acid — that softens and dissolves dead skin cells to leave the skin smooth and refined. Formulated for gentle efficacy, delivering the benefits of chemical exfoliation without the irritation risk associated with high-strength acid treatments.
