What it is
There is a specific kind of skin situation this toner was made for: tight after cleansing, prone to rough patches, uncomfortable in cold or windy weather, and easily upset by stress. Kansosan is a BCL brand built around one core conviction — that most skin problems start with dryness — and the Medicated Deep Moisturizing Toner is the most concentrated hydration product in the line. Its standout ingredient is Heparin-Like Substance (ヘパリン類似物質), a medicated moisturiser well-known in Japanese pharmacology for its ability to restore water retention in compromised skin. Alongside it, human-identical ceramide (N-Stearoyl Dihydrosphingosine) reinforces the lipid barrier from within, while a nanocapsule delivery system uses a Vitamin E derivative to encapsulate a Vitamin B6 derivative and carry it deeper into the skin. The texture has a gentle, slip-forward viscosity — not watery, not gel-heavy — that spreads easily and absorbs without a sticky finish. Fragrance-free, alcohol-free, silicone-free, and paraben-free, with allergy-patch testing completed. This is the toner for anyone who has tried "gentle" and still finds their skin reacting — and wants something that actually addresses the root cause rather than masking it.
Ingredients
(1) Heparin-Like Substance (Active): a medicated moisturising agent that improves water retention and helps repair skin roughness
(2) Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate (Active): soothes sensitivity and helps prevent skin inflammation and breakouts
(3) N-Stearoyl Dihydrosphingosine (Human-Identical Ceramide): reinforces the lipid barrier and reduces moisture loss from the skin's surface
(4) L-Arginine (Amino Acid): supports the skin's natural moisturising factor and adds a soft, plumped texture after absorption
(5) Vitamin E Derivative / Vitamin B6 Derivative Nanocapsule: a proprietary delivery system that carries active ingredients to deeper skin layers for longer-lasting hydration

How to use
After cleansing, dispense an appropriate amount — roughly a 500-yen coin sized measure — into the palm of the hand. Press into the face using both palms rather than sweeping with a cotton pad, working from the centre outward and holding briefly to encourage absorption. For areas that feel particularly dry or rough, go back with a second layer before moving on. Follow with a moisturiser or cream to seal the hydration in. Suitable for both morning and evening use.

I saw on a TV program that the ingredient dl-α-tocopheryl phosphate sodium has whitening and antioxidant properties that keep skin looking young! So I searched and found this product, which I bought to try. I haven't had much luck with lotions other than those containing ceramide, but this one has ceramide in it, so it moisturizes nicely. Everyone says it feels thick when you use it, but for me it's a bit runny. It's smooth and runny, so maybe it would work as a cotton pack. I don't feel any particular change, and it's smooth to use... is it neither good nor bad? It's hard to judge. I'll decide once I've used it up.
Recently, no matter what I put on my skin, it would dry out quickly and often become itchy, but when I used this lotion, the itching stopped! This product contains ceramide, an ingredient that protects the skin from dryness, so I was able to confirm once again that it was the ceramide component that my skin was lacking. I'm so happy to have found such a hit product after such a long time! I'd like to buy this product again, but I'm also interested in the all-in-one lotions and emulsions for dry skin, so I'd like to try them all.
This is a repeat purchase. I bought this for my daughter who had dry skin, but when I tried it myself, I loved it. It's moisturizing but not sticky. I apply a generous amount of this after my Attenir lotion.
It's moisturizing but not sticky, which is nice!
When the skin's moisture level increases, pores become less noticeable, so I tried this! It seems like it would be good in the winter?! In the summer, it might make my makeup smudge??
