Kose: Medicated Sekkisei Lotion & Emulsion

Kose medicated Sekkisei Lotion & Emulsion

HOLY SHIT lol I am so sorry I have not posted in SO LONG! I hate school so much! lol, I'll have to give a monthly update at some point but I hope this will hold you over till then :P A lot of things have happened... lol

I stopped using the Nature Republic truffle stuff because I think it just stopped working on my skin and I remember reading a review on this product somewhere and wanting to try it but was like eh.. this stuff is too expensive for me. But I decided to bite the bullet and invest (Purchased on Sasa)

These products are one of the best selling Japanese skincare products available on Sasa O_O

So far I've been using this stuff for about 2 months now.

Giant bottles!

Ok not giant but these will last a LONG time. The toner is 360mL and the emulsion is 140mL and for the price of both products, its super worth it. I wanted to try the SK-II products at first but its so expensive for just the toner I didn't want to try it just yet so I ended up with these and boy am I super happy with them!

Tops

Glad that the toner doesn't have a gaping hole in the top that some products have, I found out I could've bought the toner with a pump -__-' but its too late for that now LOL. At least the emulsion has a pump :P

The toner is sort of milky in terms of looks but its just like any toner (watery consistency) and it has a distinct scent, it doesn't smell bad its just not floral or fruity.. medicinal? LOL I CAN'T DESCRIBE SCENTS! lol

The emulsion is not thick at all and a little goes a LONG way, it spreads across the skin really easily and is quickly absorbed.

**********

Overall results, I feel like my skin texture is much smoother and softer and that my red patches on my face are slowly disappearing when I use this.

 I will totally purchase this again (unless it stops working on my skin) I'm glad that there are some amazing products out there that aren't totally gonna rob you lol.

Sasa Haul

Splurged just a little o.O

I haven't really spent money on an expensive product in a long long time especially for my skin, which I should take into consideration since I want to have nice skin for as long as I can manage it :P I think most people do lol.

I also wanted to take a break from Korean products since I've been using them for a while now. The Nature Republic truffle one eventually stopped working on my skin as well as the Juju cosmetics and I noticed more redness than usual.

 Kose Medicated Sekkisei Cosmetic Lotion

I considered buying the SK-II facial treatment essence but its just so damn expensive for a bottle $300+ for 11oz? (325ml) no thanks so I started looking for a product that's just as highly rated on Sasa but affordable and I found this.

This has tons of good reviews and I paid like $50 for 360ml of product O_O I also got the emulsion and the total was basically $100 so I think its a good deal for a lot of product.

Will do a review on this soon :)

 Bio-essence products!

I'm running low on the ampoule that I've been using and I've known about Bio-essence for a while now and I hear their products are pretty good so I ordered these serums when there was a deal on Sasa. I don't actually think they sell the whitening serum anymore, they have a small bottle version but not the bigger size that I ordered.

I got this for free lol

I thought I might as well give it a try since I haven't used a foam cleanser in a while and Methode Swiss has a good reputation. Maybe this will be a life changing product :P

Nature Republic: Truffle [EX] Wrinkle Emulsion and Toner

Wrinkle Toner & Emulsion enriched with truffle mushroom 

extracts for wrinkle improvement

Its been a while!

In a previous post I mentioned that I purchased this at the Nature Republic store in Hawaii. Its not that I have wrinkles but I was starting to notice (or think) that my pores were getting a bit droopier. Then again it could have been the hot weather during that time. I also previously reviewed the sleeping mask for this line here.

Long Glass Bottles

One thing I really like about this Nature Republic brand is that the packaging feels and looks really expensive but the cost of the overall product is really really reasonable. One thing I worry about is accidentally smashing these on the floor lol.

The down side

One thing I really don't like about this product is the design of the bottle... Its kind of hard to dispense the product inside, you really have to give it a good shake upside down to make sure all the emulsion comes out. The toner is fine you don't need to shake it to dispense but since the emulsion is thick you have to shake it pretty good lol, I wish there was a pump instead.

I've used the toner and emulsion for a few months now (only for my night skincare routine) and I've noticed how much more toner I've used in comparison to the emulsion so I would say buy two toners and one emulsion if you think you will use up all the product.

Its pretty thick and creamy

(and old lady hands LOL)

The toner is a thicker toner its not super watery and its not as sweet smelling like the emulsion. It doesn't absorb right away but you can feel it absorb into your skin.

The emulsion has a mushroomy scent (duh! it has truffle essence in it) I'm not the best at describing scents... but to me it smells sweet and earthy if that makes sense. To me it feels a little bit oily and thick (a little goes a long way) and I honestly don't need a moisturizer after I use it. If you have oily skin and you're thinking of using it during the day you'll probably have super oily skin lol because it feels quite heavy, I'll lounge around the house during the night and can feel my skin feeling oily.

So! Does it get rid of wrinkles? or minimize the appearance of them?

Honestly the overall feel of my skin has softened and tightened a bit since I've started using this product. As for wrinkles, I don't really have any to begin with except for some laugh lines but I'll probably need something stronger than this to get rid of. My skin is pretty sensitive too and this hasn't broken me out in case you are wondering. So if you are looking for something that will minimize the look of your wrinkles, I don't think this is for you.
