How to use
Use after washing your face in the morning and evening. Take a generous amount (about the size of a 500 yen coin) on a cotton pad or your hands and massage it thoroughly into your skin. It can also be used for iontophoresis. [Special Care] Soak the mask sheet in lotion and leave it on for about 20 minutes. If it starts to dry during the process, moisten it with purified water or other liquids. *Stop using if you experience any skin abnormalities or if it does not suit your skin. Continued use may worsen the condition.

It penetrates the skin really well!! I've been struggling with adult acne for years, but it's gotten less frequent and my acne scars have disappeared! I want to keep using it, but it's a good lotion, so it's a little pricey, so I'm hesitant... This alone is very moisturizing, so I don't have to spend money on other moisturizing products, so maybe it's worth it☆
It blends in smoothly and keeps my skin moisturized. I feel like my skin has become a little brighter. It also seems to be effective for acne treatment.
It's not a very good product, but I really like it. I had used ITO's APPS before this and it was pretty disappointing, so I wasn't expecting much, but it absorbs well and my acne has decreased. It's moisturizing, so it's great. It needs to be stored in the refrigerator, though, and used within two months, so that's a bit of a hassle. Just when I ran out, I was concerned about dryness in the winter, so I tried Clé de Peau and really appreciated how good it was. I prefer this to Clé de Peau. It softens my skin and doesn't leave it feeling sticky. In the winter, I apply this, blend it in, and then apply Obagi C10. When I'm concerned about dryness, I add one pump of Clé de Peau on top. Normally, I use a cheap toner on top and then apply emulsion. I'm also interested in Fullerene, which is in the same line.
It must be refrigerated because it contains no preservatives. Furthermore, if the temperature is too low, it will separate into white particles. It's difficult to handle... But! But! It's obvious that products that you put on your skin should be free of unnecessary ingredients. It's no exaggeration to say that this made me realize that. If you feel that your skin is too dry or irritated, it may be due to the preservatives. It's a bit of a pain to manage to prevent bacteria from getting in, but I definitely recommend it (*´∀｀)
