So I’m a little torn between the 2 but I would say for sure that if you have oily skin or if it’s hot and humid when your deciding to stay AWAY from pink bottle one and go with the white. For best results, soak a cotton pad or tissue paper and apply to face and other dry areas for approximately 5 minutes. I looked for similar products (but without the horse placenta extract, obviously) and was able to find an almost-dupe that looks as though it should perform just as well as the Kikumasamune one: Cezanne – Ceramide Skin Conditioner High Moist (ingredient analysis here). Just like the lotion, it does have a quirky little whiff of sake, but after a few moments, it's gone. Asides from Sake, this product is fortified with Arbutin which is amazing for treating hyperpigmentation and fading dark spots.In addition, Kiku-Masamune Sake Brewing has branched out to make sake-based skin care products, utilizing sake’s high concentration of amino acids as a powerful moisturizing ingredient.

Well, legend has it, that SK-II was developed by Japanese scientists investigating why it was that elderly workers on the production line at a sake brewery had smooth, youthful looking hands.

I’ve come to realize that my love for watery, quick-absorbing skincare products is purely theoretical. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry. This product would go after cleansing and pH-dependent actives (like AHAs, BHAs, and vitamin C), but before essences, serums, and creams.

Again for a 500ml size, if you use it every day, a single bottle can last up to three months or more. The first time I heard about this product, I was super intrigued by how Sake can be used for skincare. I want hydration, and in that sense, I think our bodies, in particular the legs, arms and feet get a little neglected.Knowing that sake is a great ingredient to slow down the aging process makes me want to incorporate it into my skincare routine. In der Verpackung in der die Flache geliefert wurde war es unmöglich, dass der Stiel nicht bereits vor der Verpackung abgebrochen wurde. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. It is characterized by a mellow flavor with a lingering umami taste typical of junmai sake and the fresh aroma of Yoshinosugi cedar, as well as a crisp, refreshing throat sensation.

This skincare lotion from Japanese sake maker Kikumasamune if is formulated with real sake which has powerful hydrating, soothing and smoothing effects on the skin. Unfortunately this product made my dehydrated skin worse, possibly due to it containing alcohol denat which drys my skin.As I mentioned earlier, I use this product as a toner either by dispensing through the pump or decanting into a spray bottle. The one in the white bottle is more lightweight feeling and it feels like it just sinks directly into my skin. From the age when there is no cosmetics sake, sake diluted with water was used to prepare the condition of the skin. L'odeur est neutre mais au moment de la sortie du flacon pompe, une petite senteur caractéristique des produits fermentés se laisse percevoir mais certains odorats ne le détecteront même pas. world_kurachan went above and beyond when I asked if it was possible to get a few cosmetic items not listed on their page.
