Step into a time-honored Japanese beauty secret with the PDC Wafood Made Sake Kasu Peeling Mask, a luxurious 2-in-1 treatment that bridges the gap between a nourishing mask and a rejuvenating scrub. Inspired by the legendary smooth, youthful hands of traditional sake brewers, this formula utilizes sake kasu—the nutrient-dense yeast residue from the fermentation of rice, yeast, and koji fungi. Sourced from the prestigious Kawazu Brewery in Kumamoto, Japan, this potent "wafood" (Japanese food) ingredient is brimming with vitamins, amino acids, and kojic acid to revitalize lackluster skin and restore a translucent, "glass-skin" glow.
The sensory experience of this peeling mask is truly unique, featuring a soft, whipped consistency infused with rice bran powder and cellulose to gently stimulate cellular renewal. Unlike harsh chemical peels, this formula softens the keratinized layer of the skin, effectively breaking down dulling dead cells and clearing "aged pores" while you relax. A traditional blend of skin-conditioning extracts—including soothing cucumber, brightening arbutin, and vitamin-rich yuzu citrus—works in the background to ensure your moisture barrier remains fortified and supple throughout the exfoliation process.
Designed as a high-performance "reset button" for dry or lackluster complexions, this 5.99 oz pack delivers visible results by eliminating hidden dullness and evening out skin tone. The addition of ceramides and natural yogurt ensures that while the old, melanin-containing keratin is removed, the fresh skin underneath is immediately bathed in deep nourishment. It’s a beautifully scented, alcohol-free ritual that honors ancient craftsmanship, leaving your face feeling silky-smooth and looking undeniably radiant after just one use.
2-in-1 Scrub and Mask Action: This versatile treatment functions as both a nourishing mask and a gentle peeling scrub, containing rice bran powder and cellulose to physically stimulate cell renewal while the sake lees extract works chemically to soften the skin. It effectively removes the old keratinized layer that causes dullness, allowing subsequent skincare products to be absorbed more efficiently.
Premium Sake Kasu Extract: Featuring high-quality sake lees from Kawazu Brewing in Kumamoto, the formula is naturally rich in kojic acid, which helps block the enzyme responsible for hyperpigmentation and dark spots. These fermented rice components provide deep moisturization, helping to plump up chapped or dry skin for a healthier appearance.
Brightening and Tone Correction: Infused with arbutin and amino acids, this peeling mask targets uneven skin color and blemish-prone areas to reveal a more luminous complexion. The specialized "melanin-cleansing" properties focus on eliminating dullness, resulting in a smooth, translucent finish that mimics the "brewer's hand" effect.
Soothing Botanical Hydration: A carefully selected "Wafood" cocktail of cucumber fruit extract, yuzu seed extract, and rice bran ferment filtrate provides a surge of moisture to keep skin supple during the peeling process. These ingredients help to calm redness and prevent the "tight" feeling often associated with exfoliants.
Gentle, Alcohol-Free Formula: Designed for sensitive and lackluster skin types, this mask is formulated without alcohol and features a pleasant, fruity sake fragrance for a spa-like experience at home. The nutrient-rich composition, including niacin and peptides, supports overall skin barrier health while being gentle enough for use 2–3 times a week.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sake kasu is the byproduct left after sake (Japanese rice wine) fermentation. PDC chose this ingredient for its natural ability to gently exfoliate and brighten skin. Sake kasu contains amino acids, vitamins, and koji enzymes that help remove dead skin cells while maintaining skin hydration, making it ideal for a gentle chemical exfoliant.
This mask is formulated as a gentle peeling treatment suitable for most skin types, including those prone to sensitivity. However, since it contains active exfoliating ingredients, we recommend doing a patch test first. If you have severe sensitivity, rosacea, or active skin conditions, consult a dermatologist before use. Avoid the eye and lip areas.
For best results, use 1-2 times per week. Start with once weekly to assess how your skin responds, then adjust frequency based on your skin's tolerance. Overuse of exfoliating products can damage your skin barrier, so avoid using more than twice weekly unless directed by a skincare professional.
