I wasn't expecting this to add so much moisture into my routine! After trying a number of Japanese lotions, I was underwhelmed. Even the much-loved Hadalabo weren't doing much for me. I do love ferments and rice in my skincare though and figured I could always use it as a morning cleansing toner. (I don't use wash off cleansers in the a.m.)

I do use it for a quick morning cleanse, but also as a moisturizing toner. It's far more moisturizing than thicker lotions and toners I've used. It's also calming when I wake up with allergies or when I've slept with my face in my pillow. My pores are less noticeable too! The bottle is 500ml so I use it generously! I haven't used it long enough to see if it will brighten any dark areas but the calming effect improves the overall brightness of my skin. Same with whether it will soften age lines beyond what any hydrator will do.

Consistency is just like water so it absorbs immediately. It's great for a 7 Skin treatment.
Scent is slightly-sweet with a noticeable rice ferment/sake aroma.

Definitely recommend!
