Frequently Asked Questions
Is this authentic?
Yes. Every item is bought from an official seller in Japan, or direct from the brand for pre-orders,
never from resellers or grey market stock. Counterfeits and grey market listings are a real problem in
Asian beauty online, and buying only through official channels is how we rule it out.
What are your shipping rates?
On orders under US$75, shipping is a flat US$20 to the United States and US$10 to all other countries.
Orders of US$75 or more ship free, applied automatically at checkout. Your exact shipping cost is shown before you pay.
How long does delivery take?
These estimates are for International Airmail (Tracked) and include 3 to 5 business days of processing in Japan.
- United States: 12 to 15 business days
- Canada, United Kingdom, France, Germany: 9 to 12 business days
- Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, Finland, India, Indonesia, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland: 10 to 13 business days
- China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam: 8 to 10 business days
- Rest of the world: 11 to 18 business days
Actual delivery can be affected by customs clearance, seasonal congestion, or carrier delays in the destination country, all of which are outside our control.
Do you offer express shipping?
Yes. As of 22 July 2026, we offer International Express Mail through Japan Post. The cost is based on order weight and is calculated automatically at checkout.
Will I pay customs or import fees?
US orders: No. As of July 1, 2026, all US orders ship DDP (duties delivered prepaid), meaning we prepay all import duties on our end. Nothing is due at your door.
Orders outside the US: Possibly. Duties and import taxes are set by your local customs authority and are not collected at checkout, so any charges on delivery are your responsibility.
We're working on rolling out prepaid duties for more countries soon.
It has a thick texture, but it blends easily into the skin and is gentle. Its moisturizing power is also impressive, so I'm very satisfied. I've been experiencing dryness since autumn, and have tried many different products, but Orbis U is suitable for sensitive skin and is affordable and easy to use. I use Orbis U Dot cream, so I asked the beauty advisor at the store if I should try U Dot as a toner. She recommended U Dot for dryness relief, and I received a sample. U Dot has a stronger anti-aging formula, while U is purely moisturizing. The thick texture makes it easy to apply to the skin with your fingers, and it absorbs smoothly and feels comfortable. I was able to use it on my sensitive skin before my period without any irritation, so I plan to continue using it as long as my skin remains stable, even as the temperature drops and the air becomes drier.
The smooth texture is pleasant to apply. It's not too smooth, but not too heavy either, and I like it just right. However, my forehead, which is particularly sensitive, felt a slight tingling sensation after application (but it's much better). I haven't found a lotion that works well on my forehead yet, so I guess that's unavoidable. I'll only use it on areas that are sensitive.
It's easy to use every day. It's not too thick, which is great.
Here's my honest review after using it: ↓──────────── [Product Used] Orbis U Essence Lotion [Product Features] Focuses on skin's natural moisturizing power. The moisturizing ingredient MC Activator* regulates the water pathways in the stratum corneum, enhancing penetration. Formulated with hyaluronic acid and glycerin for long-lasting moisture. *Original Orbis ingredients [Texture] This thick, sudsy lotion blends easily into the skin, leaving it feeling fresh and refreshed with a simple hand-press. [Recommended for] Those who are concerned about dryness but dislike stickiness. Those whose skin is prone to seasonal changes. Those looking to start a simple anti-aging regimen*. *Age-appropriate care [Pros] First of all, the container is so cute, it makes skincare fun! The thick, sudsy texture absorbs quickly with a hand-press. Repeating the process 2-3 times further enhances moisturizing power. I love the refreshing, sudsy finish and its silent role as a silent helper that doesn't interfere with subsequent skincare steps. [What's Not So Great] It's very simple, so if you're looking for more aggressive skincare, it might not be enough. ──────────── I won this in Orbis' (@skincare_lounge_by_orbis) giveaway! Thank you for this wonderful encounter! #PR #Orbis #ORBIS #Lotion #HelloKitty #Lotion #EssenceLotion #Moisturizing
I bought this in-store because it was recommended for inner dry skin. I've been using it for a while, and it definitely seems to have improved the tightness I experience during the day! However, it takes a long time to absorb! I have to press it in really hard. I wouldn't recommend it for people with kids who don't have time after bath time... Also, it's difficult to get the right amount out! It's thick, so it's hard to get the right amount out, and if I shake it, too much comes out... I tried using a Muji pump head, and it was a perfect fit! I was able to use it as is without cutting the tube. The cap is stylish, so it looks a bit disappointing, but one pump dispenses the right amount, which saves time! I'm not sure I'll be buying it again, given the feel, but it's good for my skin, so I might come back.
