Kiku-Masamune Sake Brewing Sake Skin Care Lotion Bright Moist 23 ingredients
I heard some reviews that this product might be better than the Naturie Hatomugi Skin Conditioner, and had better brightening effects, however personally I think I have fairly sensitive skin and the ferment ingredient in this product was too strong and caused me to get closed comedones almost immediately which resulted in a cystic acne breakout for me. I did notice better brightening effects in Show more
Excellent product created for mature, dry, sensitive skin. Reduces redness over time and slowly increases brightness. Ceramides help in barrier repair.
If prone to acne, the peanut oil in this may contribute to break outs.
