The emulsion also doesn’t leave a sticky feeling, and absorbs quite fast.
The instantly cooling sensation this cream gives is very soothing. When this happens, I literally run to my bedroom to apply my Sekkisei emulsion. But I sometimes get sheet masks that leave a slightly burning sensation around my lips. As a big fan of various sheet masks, I love experimenting with always new ones.
This emulsion is literally a super hero when it comes to calming irritated skin. I usually use this emulsion as a first lightweight moisturizer, before a more heavy night cream. The emulsion also additionally contains Vitamin C, although the exact concentration of it is not specified. According to the Kosé website, the Sekkisai line key ingredients are the Angelica Root extract, the Coix Seed extract and the Melothria Root extract that all have brightening and ‘whitening’ properties as well as Inula Britanica Flower extract and Paeonia Albiflora Root extract. For those familiar with french skincare, this emulsion reminds me of the universally beloved Embryolisse Lait Crème Concentré, that somehow always makes it into top ten lists of best French cosmetics (I will do a post about my favorite french skincare soon, so stay tuned!). Just as its French counterpart, the Sekkisei enriched emulsion is soft and white, with a delicious creamy smell. The emulsion supposedly contains ingredients from 100 types of plants, and has primary moisturising and brightening properties. The version I chose, is the ‘enriched’ emulsion, thus it is more creamy than the lotion.Īccording to the Kosé official website, the Sekkisei line is inspired by untouched luminous snow, and is based on ancient asian remedies. Without notions of Japanese I found it actually quite challenging to choose the version I wanted. Finally I went for the so-called medicated Sekkisei version. The catch is that the bottle looks almost exactly the same for each one of its different versions.

Sekkisai also offers day creams, serums, lotions and so on – and they all look the same, if not for the little note on the store shelf! The Sekkisei emulsion also exists in different formulas depending on your skin needs. It is quite likely that every Japanese woman has used the Sekkisei emulsion at least once in her life. This little blue bottle found its home in almost every drugstore and supermarket in Japan. In Japan, this product is literally everywhere. Launched in 1985, this Sekkisei has thousands of beauty followers all over the world. I saw it in every article that was listing the best Japanese skincare products, so of course I had to give it a try. Has a rich, lush texture that gently saturates the skin so that the next morning the skin feels supple, elastic, youthful and bouncy to the touch.One of the products I definitely wanted to bring from my trip to Japan, was the mythical Sekkisei by Kosé.
