What it is
A new desert lotion designed to tackle extremely dry environments.It focuses on the fact that moisture loss due to dryness and UV rays causes stratum corneum cells to shrink and lose firmness.Learning from the sleeping midge, which survives even when desiccated in extremely dry environments, the three-pronged moisture retention approach replenishes moisture in stratum corneum cells that shrink as the skin dries, maintaining moisture even in dry desert environments.This leaves skin feeling moisturized and firm, just like after a lotion mask.Contains est's proprietary ingredient Ectobiosis (moisturizing: ectoine, diglycol guanidine succinate, trehalose, glycerin)

When I went on a trip to Okinawa in January, I brought a sample of this product with me and tried it out. I spent all day outside, so even at this time of year, I got quite a bit of sunburn, but I didn't experience any stinging after the sunburn or any dryness the next day! I also really felt the firmness and elasticity that this lotion claims to give my skin, and I was really impressed by the difference in my skin before and after use! I don't feel particularly dry in the winter, so I wasn't particularly attracted to this product, but I'm glad I discovered how great it is on this trip! It has a subtle, soothing scent, a light texture, and absorbs quickly, so it's very pleasant to use. I've been using the facial cleanser gel for a long time, but I think I'll buy the lotion as well.
I'm a year-round moisture lover, but thanks to this, I almost forget about dryness. This lotion is so versatile that it works perfectly with my regular skincare line, so I could just throw it in there and have no problems. It's a great product that I promise to repurchase when I run out.
I bought this with high expectations because Kao products are often suitable for my skin! It penetrates deeply, but it's not sticky and leaves my skin feeling moisturized, which I love! I'm also excited that it prevents glycation! I think I'll be buying it again!
I started using this on January 9, 2026. I bought it from Suzykirei. The reason I bought it was because Hiro bought it. I saw the collaboration video with Emirin on Suzykirei Tokyo and bought it because I believed that it wouldn't dry out my skin even in the desert. I use this in the morning and a lotion from another brand at night. I sometimes slack off on my skincare routine, so even when I used it on those days, my skin still felt dry, but I think anyone who takes good care of their skin will feel the effects. The texture is thick. It seems like they also have refills, so I plan to buy it again when I run out.
This lotion is the answer for winter! I had my skin analyzed and the glycation levels went down, so I bought T too!
