KOSE SEKKISEI, i heard this skin care brand from my mum since i was in primary school, yea... it was famous with its SEKKISEI lotion that time until now, rumours of SEKKISEI’s effects have spread through word-of-mouth. SEKKISEI, which originated from Japan has been touted as a pioneer in whitening skincare since its release in 1985. Since its release almost 30 years ago, women around the world have been purchasing over 5,000 bottles of SEKKISEI Lotion a day on average. The prestigious awards it has garnered in various beauty magazines around the world attest to its popularity. Raved by headlines such as “a beautiful lotion that symbolizes Japan,” SEKKISEI is now spreading its wings and soaring towards its goal of becoming the number one whitening brand both in Japan and around the world to help women attain bright and translucent skin with glowing radiance, just like fresh snow.
It’s never too late to start a great skin care routine, a basic skin care doesn’t need to be difficult, but when you use different brand of skin care products, you might expect they are not working well for the result. For the best result, it’s essential to use the same brand of skincare products in the right way so now i am introducing KOSÉ SEKKISEI simple and easy basic care which harness the power of Oriental Herb extracts and specially-designed for skin translucency, even-toned and moisturised skin.
This year, fall in love with 5 star products from KOSÉ SEKKISEI, which come together in its special edition trial kit, perfect for first-time users who want to feel and see the SEKKISEI difference for themselves! A trio of oriental plant extracts: Coix Seed, Melothria (White Lotus) and Angelica work diligently to keep your skin in perfect condition, protected from the harsh environment anytime anywhere.
It was a surprise while i received the big gift box from KOSÉ SEKKISEI, check out my video, it's such a great idea and definitely melts everyone's heart! Oh boy, you should learn this to give a surprise to your girl girl XD.
I took a week to try this special edition trial kit and here is my review......
SEKKISEI White Liquid Wash (140ml / RM131.40)
Cleanse skin without stripping away moisture with this delicate cleanser. Taurine-based cleansing agents leave skin clean and hydrated; while Rubus Suavissmus Extract enhance skin dullness and soothes UV damage. Skin is restored to its optimal condition, ready for the next skincare step.
How to use :
Dispense 1 - 2 pumps on wet palms and lather into foam. Work lather on face and rinse off with water.
Bowie's Verdict : It is easy to lather into foam, i feel comfortable while foamy texture "touch" my skin with a relaxing and refreshing scent. I feel this product is not bad because it doesn't dry my skin out after wash.
SEKKISEI Lotion (200ml / RM180.20 | 360ml / RM275.60)
Bestseller!!! Seriously this SEKKISEI Lotion is always rated in top 10 best skin care product of any beauty website/ media and magazine! It contains ingredients carefully-selected out of 100 types of oriental plants. There are 2 way to use it, either used as a toner as basic care or a mask as instant hydration, the fine-textured hydrating lotion balances out skin’s moisture levels, prevents dullness, soothes redness and more.
How to use :
For basic care : Use on thoroughly washed, clean face. Pour lotion generously onto a cotton pad and pat gently on face.
For instant hydration : Place a bihadagoyomi mask into the cap and pour SEKKISEI Lotion until the mask tablet puffs up. Place on face for 10 minutes and notice instantly hydrated skin
Bowie's Verdict : Very efficiency and excellent whitening effect !!! I was worried before use it, my skin is combination skin + a little sensitive, i cannot use whitening product all the while because most of whitening products will cause sensitive skin and acne problem, luckily SEKKISEI Lotion is fine for me. =) When start to use it, i feel a little bit dry on my skin, it's getting better few days after and now i love it! If you got acne scars, i would suggest you pour small amount of SEKKISEI Lotion on a cotton pad (just nice to cover your acne scar area) and place on it for few minutes, do it every day and the acne scar will fade. There are one thing i dislike is the smell, it smells like alcohol.
SEKKISEI Emulsion (140ml / RM191.80)
This quick-absorbing moisturiser works deep into skin, preventing freckles, dark spots and dryness. Ingredients like Inula Britanica Flower, Chinese Pearl Barley, Paeonia Albiflora Root, Melothria Heterophylla and Angelica reveal a more translucent complexion.
How to use :
Use after lotion, apply 1 to 2 pumps on a cotton pad and sweep over skin.
Bowie's Verdict : It is oily for me and my face is itchy. To figure out this problem, i decided to use this during night time only, it is not too oily and my face is no itchy. So, i think using emulsion in day time will a bit oily and not comfortable for combination skin people, this is because of our country is tropical country, weather is hot and humid. * not suggested for combination skin *
SEKKISEI Clear Whitening Mask (80g / RM94.30)
A signature whitening peel-off mask that removes blackheads, refines pores, brightens and improves skin clarity at the same time! Chinese Quince extract inhibits sebum production, while a blend of oriental plant extracts deliver supreme whitening benefits. Nano-sized black powder allows the mask to spread easily.
How to use :
Take approximately 2 cm of product onto your finger at a time, spreading it across your face while avoiding the area around the eyes, eyebrows, hairline, and lips. Once dry, peel it off inwards from the outer areas of your face.
Bowie's Verdict : This is first KOSE product i used since secondary school, no doubt it is powerful for remove blackheads and refines pores. Most of the time i used it to remove blackheads on my nose and sometimes i will apply whole face as a deep cleansing. =) Apply thicker or else you cannot peel off the mask easily.
