I bought this after receiving a skin diagnosis in-store and it was recommended. In my case, my skin lacks moisture, causing the stratum corneum to become dry, preventing the beauty ingredients from penetrating. This cleansing lotion softens and loosens it up. When I rubbed a cotton pad over my skin, it felt like my skin had become softer. I really liked the refreshing feel. I wear a face mask after my bath at night, so I only use it in the morning after washing my face. With that frequency of use, it seems like it will last about three months.
I keep using it because it improves the roughness of my skin and brightens my skin tone. I also feel like my next lotion soaks in better. I'd be happy if it was a little more affordable, so I'd give it 5 stars.
This gentle exfoliating lotion gently removes dead skin cells without irritating the skin. It also allows any lotion to penetrate deeper into the skin.

I tried it in the store and liked it, so I bought it. It makes my skin smooth and soft. It leaves my skin feeling moisturized and supple after just one use. I recommend it for those with dry skin. However, the price is a bit high compared to other IPSA lotions, which is a bit of a downside.
