What it is
Focusing on the fact that the inevitable temperature changes can cause rough, dry skin, this product maintains smooth, moisturized skin at all times. Whether it's hot or cold, it helps to balance moisture and leave skin feeling smooth. The refreshing serum penetrates deep into the stratum corneum, preparing the skin for better absorption of lotion.
Ingredients
How to use
After washing your face in the morning and evening, before applying lotion, pump the dispenser twice into the palm of your hand and gently massage it into your entire face. When using on particularly delicate areas, gently press the palm of your hand into your skin to blend in, avoiding rubbing too hard. Then apply lotion. <How to set the dispenser>When using the dispenser on an empty container, hold the bottom and turn it to remove it. Insert the dispenser into a new refill container and close it tightly. *When opening and closing the dispenser, always turn the bottom part. If you accidentally turn the top part, the dispenser will become unusable.

I haven't had any skin problems lately, but maybe due to the pollen allergy, my regular skincare routine has been stinging more, so I bought this. I use it in conjunction with the d Program lotion, and it's great! It doesn't sting, and I've had fewer breakouts. I don't use it all year round, but I buy it every year around this time of year. I'm also planning to buy more lotion to help me get through pollen season.
I've been using this since it was released. It's great for the temperature changes this time of year. I have dry skin, so I can't live without it. It's moisturizing and penetrates deep into the skin, making it an essential item.
I have oily skin, but this winter I've been experiencing dryness and roughness... I guess you can't beat aging... (lol) I quickly tried to fix it with Minon masks and creams, but I was wondering what to do in terms of prevention... and so I bought this. It's small, and even pumping twice is a bit of a worrying amount, but when I let it soak into my dry skin before applying lotion, it leaves a moist feeling after I've finished applying lotion and moisturizing, and I feel like I'm being protected. The cold north wind on my way to work hurts my cheeks, but it gives me confidence that "It's okay! I'm taking precautions!" (*^^*) I'm going to be using this a lot this winter!
There are times when I don't use it, but I think I've repurchased it about three times. My skin is prone to irritation from lotions, so applying it first after washing my face and having it act as a cushion is very helpful. Some lotions I can use without this one don't irritate my skin, but without it they do irritate my skin. I trust it so much that I can use it even when I'm sensitive. The recommended amount seems a little small for me, so I use five pumps at a time. Because of this, it runs out pretty quickly. It's not strangely thick or sticky, so it's easy to use anytime, morning or night.
When I was using it, I wondered what was so good about it, but when it ran out I realized how good it was... I feel like it's not as moisturizing as when I was using it.
