Kikumasamune Japanese Sake Moisturizing Brightening Skin Care Lotion 500ml

Product Information

Today, the brand is well-known for its commitment to an ancient method of producing quality sake, which took top place in three cities for a nation-wide poll. And remember, since this is a Japanese product, the word “lotion” actually means “toner” in this context, so be sure to use it before any serums, ampoules, etc.

It’s not a staple meat, but you can find raw horse meat sushi in some restaurants and other horse meat products as delicacies. Water (aqua), glycerin, mineral oil (paraffinum liquidum), triethylhexanoin, rice ferment filtrate (sake), glutamic acid, arginine, leucine, glycine, ceramide eop, ceramide np, ceramide ap, placental protein, arbutin, dipotassium glycyrrhizate, cholesterol, phytosphingosine, sodium lauroyl lactylate, peg-9 dimethicone, peg-20 sorbitan isostearate, carbomer, xanthan gum, acrylates / c10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer, disodium edta, phytic acid, behenyl alcohol, potassium hydroxide, silver oxide, phenoxyethanol, fragrance (parfum).

I’ve come to realize that my love for watery, quick-absorbing skincare products is purely theoretical.

Placenta extract and arbutin as a moisturizing ingredient, and high moisturizing ingredient ceramide that decreases with age are compounded. If anyone is sensitive to fragrance you might not like this product but personally i can tolerate the smell. Water, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Rice Fermented Liquid, Glutamic Acid, Arginine, Leucine, Ceramide 3, Ceramide 6 II, Placenta Extract, Arbutin, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate, Soy Protein, Maltitol, Methyl Gluceth-10, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Hydroxyethyl Cellulose, Sodium Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Perfume Sake as an Antiaging Ingredient?

I wouldn’t say it is a game-changer toner, but it is an affordable toner that could help your skin in the long run. 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). And that's when I came across Kikumasamune on a Reddit forum where the lotion (essentially a watery toner) and the emulsion (a light moisturiser) were highly rated.I want to try the one in the pink bottle next just to see if on the off chance I might like it better but I have a feeling I will be coming back to this one as well.

When I first started k-beauty I got those two exact products and thought the same thing about mizon until I tried some snail sheet masks from skinfood and natures republic and they BURNED. Kiku-Masamune Sake Brewing was founded in 1659 by the Kano family, who built a sake brewery at their residence and began large scale operations. International products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ from local products, including fit, age ratings, and language of product, labeling or instructions.

Amino acids (glutamic acid, arginine, leucine and glycine) and ceramide, which are highly effective moisturisers, are further added. Also I'm pretty sure it stimulates hair growth a week or so after I started using it I noticed that small hair were growing below my hair line where my hair line used to be. But why would anyone even think of using an alcoholic beverage to form the basis of a skincare product then, I hear you ask? Sake filtrate contains kojic acid, a powerful skin-lightening agent that’s safer than hydroquinone; it’s also a good source of antioxidants.
