So I bought in the hype on this cultish beauty product from Japan. It's used by all the beautiful celebrities in Asia as well as US (my fave being Cate Blanchett - talk about flawless face!). I've been following this brand for a while and trying out the duty-free samples as often as I can. When I saw that there was a good deal on Virgin Atlantic sky mall, I took the plunge and bought a full bottle.
Directions: you can either use a cotton pad but I learned from the saleslady to use my palms so that my hands can benefit as well. Put some essence onto your palm (or cotton pad) and pad softly onto face. I usually start with my forehead since that's where I need the most help.
I started using this product since early November and although there's been no dramatic changes, I do find that my face is less oily (I have combination skin) and pores on my cheek area are getting a bit smaller. The wrinkles on my forehead hasn't gone away but maybe it takes time. I'm 3 months into the product and have only used a 1/4 of the bottle so one bottle can last a while (as it should since it's so expensive). The smell is a bit funky, it reminds of fermentation; which makes sense since the essence is made from rice fermentation process. The smell can last a while on the skin so make sure your emulsion, moisturizer and/or suntan lotion will mask the smell.
Overall I'm happy with the product for now. I'll wait until I get to the end of the bottle to report whether I like it enough to buy another expensive bottle.
