I used up the last Bloom box I had. The texture is watery, with no thickening or scent. It's more of a runny type, or rather, a sloshing type. It doesn't absorb particularly well, so I used it by pressing it firmly into my skin with my hands. I used it in the middle of winter, and it didn't dry out my skin, which was nice. The feel was neither good nor bad, but I might notice a difference with long-term use. It's mild, or rather non-irritating, so it seems like it would be good for people who prefer additive-free products or those with sensitive skin.
I liked the face wash and cream, so I also bought the lotion. It moisturized my entire body and left my skin feeling plump and supple, which was great, but comparing the price and effectiveness, I'm not sure if I'll buy it again.
Although it's a fermented product, it doesn't have any particularly unpleasant smell and is easy to use. It has a watery texture and isn't thick. It moisturizes without irritating even after sun exposure. I didn't notice any anti-aging benefits, such as improved firmness, whitening, or reduced pore visibility.
It sprays like water and when you apply it in layers, you can feel the moisturizing power. It doesn't have any particular appeal and doesn't clash with other products. However, it takes quite a lot to achieve the moisturizing effect I was looking for, so I felt that the cost performance wasn't that great.
I won a giveaway from Suzykirei and have now used up the 25ml bottle, so I'm writing this review. While it's not a quasi-drug and doesn't contain a high concentration of active ingredients, its most distinctive feature is its rich, fermented lotion, crafted using advanced fermentation technology from Japanese superfoods: rice, tea, and seaweed! The ingredients include Akita Komachi rice from Akita Prefecture, high-quality green tea from Uji, and seaweed from Okinawa Prefecture. It's rich in natural amino acids and lactic acid, providing moisturizing benefits. Tatcha is a San Francisco-based cosmetics brand, and their lineup of Japanese ingredients is intriguing. Their strong image of beauty makes a good impression on me! So, what about the all-important experience? It was incredibly pleasant. First of all, the texture. It's a truly light lotion, not thick or viscous. I really liked the smooth, unadulterated texture. While this essence claims to give you firmer, more supple skin, I didn't experience any immediate results like a plump, firming sensation. However, it did moisturize thoroughly, without leaving a sticky, sticky feeling, and it did leave the surface of my skin feeling healthy. This is the ideal lotion for me, so I'm very pleased! It doesn't create a momentary effect, like an artificially plump, moisturizing illusion. Rather, it simply moisturizes the stratum corneum, blends in, and doesn't sting. It's a satisfying, easy-to-use moisturizer, and I'm very impressed with how it feels. The price is a bit high, and personally, I use Hada Labo's Shirojun Premium, which I love for its high concentration of effective whitening ingredients and is both affordable and effective, so I probably won't buy it again. However, it's a great match with fermented ingredients, and its smooth, timeless texture and amino acid power from fermented ingredients make this a very interesting lotion.
