How to use
Eco-friendly, cost-effective refills are available. After applying lotion or serum, take an appropriate amount (about the size of a pearl) and gently spread it over your entire face. Use as needed in the morning when dryness is a concern. (To prevent makeup from smudging, we recommend using a small amount before applying makeup.) <Caution> . Tightly close the cap after use. Do not store in direct sunlight or in high or low temperatures. Keep out of reach of infants and young children. *The yellow color inside is the color of ubiquinone (a moisturizing ingredient). Check carefully for any skin abnormalities before use. Do not use if you have cuts, swelling, or eczema. Discontinue use if the product does not suit your skin. If you experience any abnormalities such as redness, swelling, itching, irritation, discoloration (white spots, etc.), or darkening during use. If any of the above abnormalities occur after exposure to direct sunlight. Continuing to use cosmetics as they are may worsen the symptoms, so we recommend consulting a dermatologist. Please be careful if you have ever had an allergic reaction to the ingredients. Always try out cosmetics for the first time by conducting a patch test before using them.

It's been on the market since 2008. I'm sure there are other creams that are better suited to improving skin quality, but I feel like Chifure's cream keeps my skin from drying out in the winter better than other creams that cost several times more than this one!
Comfort - This is a divine product that spreads easily and feels light on the skin, yet is deeply moisturizing! I have acne-prone skin and generally glycerin-free products are best suited to it, but during dry periods my skin peels so much that I was thinking about buying a cream, but I was worried that high moisturizing power means glycerin is inevitable, so I came across this cream! I wish I'd known about it sooner. It spreads easily, so at first I thought, "Isn't this too little?", but a small amount is enough, so the cost performance is also amazing! It spreads smoothly, yet the feeling of it locking in moisture is addictive. In short, this is an item that anyone with oily or combination skin should try! - Good Points - Glycerin-free, Light on the skin, Not unpleasantly sticky, Good value for money, Excellent moisturizing power - Bad Points - It's not sold in many places (maybe just in my area) *This is my personal opinion
I've repurchased this twice. I was attracted to the fact that it's glycerin-free. I like that it's not sticky but moisturizes my skin. It's high quality and only costs around 1000 yen, so I hope it never runs out.
It's glycerin-free and not sticky. I bought a lot of it.
I was looking for glycerin-free skincare and found this. I like that when I use this as the last step in my skincare routine before applying makeup, it helps prevent my makeup from coming off. It spreads easily and isn't sticky, making it perfect for combination skin, and I appreciate the good value for money.
