I bought this from someone I was with when I went to Kanazawa. She recommended another gold leaf skincare product to me, saying she loved it, but when I looked at the ingredients, it didn't seem like it would suit me... Still, she strongly encouraged me, saying, "It's good!" So, I decided to buy the "Starter Set," which contains six small amounts of this product, which I thought would be better for me. The set includes cleanser, facial soap, toner, serum, moisturizing cream, and gold leaf blotting paper. The serum, Nano Essence N, contains fine gold leaf in a gel-like consistency. It's unscented. I tried using it on my nasolabial folds and under-eye bags. Because it's a gel, it's a bit sticky, and it feels more like it sits on my skin and covers it more evenly than a lotion. I didn't want to irritate my skin too much, so I applied it without rubbing, and the gold leaf remained in fine particles on my skin. I used it before bed at night, so it wasn't noticeable by the morning. I didn't have any issues, and since it was only 5ml, I used it all. Of course, it probably won't improve nasolabial folds or dark circles, but I think it's good that it can be used even on sensitive skin. Used in June 2022. Ingredients: Water, BG, glycerin, trehalose, glycosyl trehalose, hydrolyzed hydrogenated starch, hydrolyzed collagen, sodium hyaluronate, kudzu root extract, aloe vera leaf extract, chlorella extract, hydrolyzed yeast extract, natto gum, water-soluble collagen, platinum, polysorbate 80, water-soluble proteoglycan, gold, carbomer, arginine, phenoxyethanol
I received a KINKA skincare set from an acquaintance as a souvenir from Kanazawa. It looks compact, but it lasts about a month. The best thing about this product is the container! It doesn't have a nozzle for sucking up, and the base lifts up with each pump. It's stress-free to use until the very end, and the lack of a nozzle makes the floating gold leaf look even more beautiful. I use about 2.5 pumps at a time. You can fine-tune the amount by adjusting the pressure of the pump. It has a heavy texture that feels like it's supposed to moisturize your skin, but it absorbs surprisingly quickly. The gold leaf is said to be effective for moisturizing and firming. It certainly does seem to contribute to firming, but honestly, it's neither good nor bad. Please note that it is not suitable for people with metal allergies.
I used a sample. It's a gorgeous serum with gold leaf that blends well with the skin. Good points: It blends into the skin without being sticky. I used it together with the lotion, and both blended well with the skin without being sticky, which I found easy to use. The lotion wasn't very moisturizing, so using them all together would probably improve the results. Concerns: I tried using the lotion, serum, and cream together as a sample, but it felt a little lacking in moisturizing power. It feels good to use, so I think it's easy to use if you don't have dry skin, and I think it would be good for summer.
