Kikumasamune Japanese Sake Moisturizing Brightening Skin Care Lotion 500ml

Product Information

This product is perfect for when you want multiple light layers of hydration as it plays nicely with everything you put on top of it. Even if I run out of my holy grail products, having this massive bottle in my routine will be more than enough. It’s impossible to dispense, smells like liquid hangover, and breaks me out, but there’s just so much of it! The consistency of the emulsion is like a moisturiser, only much, much lighter and milky in texture.

Like I mentioned earlier, this is a watery toner that comes in a massive 500ml pump bottle for easy application.Some people cannot stand this scent because it can be strange applying something that once made you sick when ingested (ha), but for those of us who have not had such an experience, the scent seems to vary between bubble gum to bananas (or in my case, a little of both). The lightness of the emulsion makes it perfect for summer, as it feels so light, unrestrictive and isn't greasy at all. Well, legend has it, that SK-II was developed by Japanese scientists investigating why it was that elderly workers on the production line at a sake brewery had smooth, youthful looking hands. This isn't a miracle treatment or anything, but I've always noticed that my skin seems more balanced overall when I'm using it consistently.

Their products did so well that they expanded their selection of Japanese sake cosmetics to include emulsion, creams, face wash, face cleanser, and more. Arbutin is another powerful lightening agent, as is Glycyrrhizic acid (a derivative of licorice root). I've also found that if I soak this on a cotton pad, and place on an area of particularly dry skin, such as my knees or elbows, my skin just laps it up. I looked for similar products (but without the horse placenta extract, obviously) and was able to find an almost-dupe that looks as though it should perform just as well as the Kikumasamune one: Cezanne – Ceramide Skin Conditioner High Moist (ingredient analysis here). As I mentioned earlier, I use this product as a toner either by dispensing through the pump or decanting into a spray bottle.

It’s not a staple meat, but you can find raw horse meat sushi in some restaurants and other horse meat products as delicacies. This one has a very watery texture, smells fairly strongly of sake, but after application this disappears.

Kikumasamune's Sake skin care products aren't exactly new to the western world, but it does seem that in amongst the latest tren. At scale, these small differences in product size and weight lead to significant carbon emission reductions. Having tapped in the lotion all over my body, I'll then apply the lotion on top, whilst my skin is still damp, and let it settle in before towel-drying. I feel like my skin has improved a lot since using this stuff, but I can't exactly put my fingure on how.Whether it is budget friendly or high end, she plans to share with others her beauty adventures and beauty experiences on this blog.
