What it is
"KaESS" is a blend of natural ingredients such as sake lees extract and molasses, rich in amino acids, which are skin's natural moisturizing components. Focusing on the skin's ability to moisturize itself, it maintains its natural freshness. Though a cream, it blends in smoothly and comfortably. The unique emulsification process allows it to melt into the skin without stickiness. The natural moisturizing ingredients lock in and maintain essential moisture. [Key Point 1] Luxurious plant-derived moisturizing veil. A luxurious blend of natural moisturizing ingredients, including glucosyl ceramide and sodium hyaluronate, creates a smooth, moisturizing veil that envelops the skin. It prevents dryness caused by external stimuli and keeps skin plump, soft, and hydrated. Furthermore, the amino acids contained in sake lees and molasses act as the skin's "moisturizing agent," bringing out its natural power. [Key Point 2] Exquisite usability. The non-sticky, exquisite usability melts into the skin like a glove. The secret lies in the unique emulsification. Utilizing the unique "demulsification" feature, the cream returns to its water and oil content as it blends with the skin, resulting in an exquisite feel that leaves skin plump and richly moisturized. [Specialty Point 3] A relaxing fragrance. Frankincense and camphor wood are expected to have a refreshing effect on the mind. A unique blend also includes pelargonium and mandarin orange. The "tranquility fragrance" uses carefully selected natural essential oils, creating a soft, dignified fragrance. At the end of your skincare routine, it delivers a high-quality sense of relaxation to your mind.

I don't like sticky creams, so I always end my skincare routine with lotion. But then I discovered a product that changed my view of creams! Even though it's a cream, it's refreshingly non-sticky. And yet, it moisturizes my skin and keeps it from drying out until morning. It even felt like my pores were closing, and the secret seems to lie in the ingredients! The official website lists it below. Packed with ingredients! ==... ====================================Also, the scent is calming, like being in nature, so using it before bed is very soothing!
I have great faith in hand creams, so I was also curious about their skincare products and bought one. It absorbs easily and feels great, but the scent is a little strong, and when I apply it all over my face in the summer, it clogs my pores and gives me boils the next day. I thought it might be good for spot use in the winter, but it didn't have the dramatic effect of the hand cream, so I won't be repurchasing it.
I'm very happy with this cream, which has a light texture and is lightweight yet deeply moisturizing! This time of year, my skin tends to get out of whack due to the dry air from the air conditioner and the strong sunlight, but after applying this cream, my skin feels toned and moisturized and supple. I feel like the nutrients are soaking into my skin as I apply it, which makes me feel good. It works well with my skin, so I'll definitely be buying it again!
Even though it's a cream, it's not messy and I'm glad! I haven't been able to find a product that I would buy again until now, but I would like to buy this again!
