What it is
Injecting 1,500 trillion*1 vitamin C particles, a powerful golden vitamin shot*3 is born to target pores and dullness*2. Takami's popular vitamin C serum, which has sold over 600,000 bottles*4, has evolved into a new formula that delivers even more noticeable results. Takami's pursuit was not simply to increase the "concentration" of a single ingredient, but to create a "formulation balance" that is as faithful as possible to the structure of the skin. It approaches the factors causing adult pores and dullness*2 from all angles, leading to firm, radiant skin full of vitality. [Points of evolution of Takami Essence 5CE Premium] ◆ 1. Penetration amount is 5 times that of conventional products*5 "Ultra Nanoparticle Delivery System" Using proprietary technology, 1,500 trillion*1 vitamin C particles, nano-sized to 1/15,000 the size of a pore, are incorporated. The fine particles of the ingredient quickly reach deep into the pores*5 of concern. It delivers the necessary ingredients directly and quickly to where they are needed. ◆ 2. Takami's unique "Golden Vitamin Shot*3" By incorporating "gold*6", the freshness and stability of pure vitamin C*6, which is extremely delicate and easily broken down, are maintained (fast-acting). Furthermore, four carefully selected vitamin C derivatives*7 (fast-acting x long-lasting) are formulated in a special "golden ratio". Because it is delivered to every corner of the stratum corneum with a time difference, moisture and results last for a long time. ◆ 3. Balancing functionality with "comfort" that makes you want to use it every day The "stickiness," "tightness," and "irritation" characteristic of vitamin C are reduced to the absolute minimum. It has a fresh, transparent texture that blends into the skin as if it is absorbed smoothly.
