What it is
Since its founding, IPSA has focused on the power of skin and conducted daily research. Our goal was to create skin that appears energized, moisturized, and translucent. ME is a highly functional lotion that brings out the natural beauty of each individual's skin. The unique CP-ME and CP-S-ME ingredients deeply circulate moisture from within (*1), leading to firmer, more translucent, and softer skin. IPSA's core moisturizer, enveloping each skin in a comfortable texture tailored to the skin, fills each individual with beauty, as if satisfying the soul. [Recommended Skin Types] ME n 5 is recommended for skin that is generally oily but also feels dry and rough. Non-comedogenic and allergy tested. *This does not guarantee that all skin types will not develop acne or allergies.

Ingredients
How to use
Use on skin after washing your face in the morning and evening. Hold the nozzle of the dispenser close to a cotton pad, pump three times, and gently apply the product to your entire face. Finally, wrap your palms around your entire face to blend it in. (How to set up the dispenser) Place the bottle on a flat surface, gently hold the bottom of the container, and remove the bottle cap. Slowly insert the dispenser into the bottle to prevent the contents from spilling, and close it tightly before use. From the second bottle onwards, unscrew the dispenser from the used bottle and remove it. As above, slowly insert the dispenser into the bottle, close it, and use.

I tried out some online to see which one would suit me best, and it was ranked 5, so I bought it. I think I've used ME once, a long time ago, about 7 years ago... It doubles as both a lotion and a milky lotion, so it's perfect for those busy mornings! I don't have dry skin, so even if I use this and then apply makeup primer or makeup, I don't feel any dryness. It's amazing how the bottle dents and becomes squishy as I use it. I'm looking forward to using it up to see if it will stand up properly at the end.
I've been using this product since before the renewal, and when it was almost gone, I bought n again! The feel is the same, and I don't notice any significant changes in effectiveness or texture. The container is eco-friendly and flexible, making it a little difficult to use, and the previous transparent container made it easy to see how much was left, but now it's hard to tell.
I was given samples of various numbers and chose n5. Because I have oily skin, I don't like sticky skin, but I was also worried about a product that was too refreshing for the coming season, so n5 was the one that felt the most comfortable. I only use it in the morning, but it leaves my skin feeling great. It feels so good to use, so I plan to buy it again. There are many types, and each has a slightly different feel, so I recommend trying them out before purchasing. In fact, I ended up with a different number than the one I originally intended to buy.
I have relatively free time in the morning, but when I get home at night, I want to go to bed as soon as possible. I bought this product because I wanted to shorten the time it takes to get to sleep. After reading the product details, it seemed like one bottle would be enough, but a friend gave me the lotion as a birthday present, so I'm now using the whole line. It's only been a week since I started using it, but it seems like it takes a while for my skin to feel moisturized... That's all I can think of, but I'm going to try using up the whole bottle.
