It's been a while since I've used Japanese cosmetics...it's great! I've been using only Korean cosmetics lately, but I've come to realize once again that Japanese brands and manufacturers are great. It's a watery lotion, but it's moisturizing and you can feel it penetrating. It's been a while since I've felt like my skin is penetrating with a lotion. I won a giveaway at Suzykirei last year and have been using it for about a month and a half. I plan to buy it again!
I used the sample and it felt good so I'm thinking of actually purchasing it.
I like how it absorbs smoothly without leaving a sticky feeling. I've been using it for two months and still have a little left. The whitening effect hasn't dramatically whitened my skin. However, even though it smells of alcohol, I like it because it doesn't irritate my sensitive skin.
I usually choose the most moisturizing lotion, so after applying it, it feels like the liquid sits on my skin for a while, but this lotion seems to penetrate immediately after application, and it feels like it's absorbed rapidly. So I end up applying it about three times. I've only been using it for about a week, so I can't really say much, but it doesn't sting and it seems to prevent dryness. I think it's a great lotion that absorbs quickly into the skin in the summer or when it's hot. I might buy it again.
I bought this for the first time since I used it in my teens. It's for skin whitening care. The lotion is milky and smooth. I like the scent of Sekkisei. It seems to penetrate better if you wrap it in a cotton pack. It's only been a few weeks, so I haven't noticed any whitening yet, but I'll keep using it.
