[Double Effect: Whitening x Skin Irritation Prevention*] This medicated whitening cream, with its licorice-derived active ingredient, thoroughly prevents blemishes and cares for rough skin. Its rich moisture spreads throughout the skin, leading to plump and firm skin. *The active ingredient, stearyl glycyrrhetinate SW, is the first in Japan to receive approval for its "whitening" and "skin irritation/roughness" effects.
[40 Years of Natural Science Research: The Culmination of Ingredient Research and Product Development Technology] Sekkisei has continuously researched ingredients derived from traditional Japanese and Chinese herbal medicine. It took 16 years to obtain approval and commercialize the licorice-derived active ingredient, "W-Glycyrrhetinic Acid Stearyl."
[Contains Kose's Unique Whitening and Skin-Soothing Active Ingredients] Focusing on two stagnations within the skin that hinder transparency—"melanin stagnation" and "skin roughness stagnation"—the licorice-derived active ingredient prevents these two stagnations, suppressing melanin production while preventing skin roughness and preventing blemishes and freckles. It leads to skin that is as fresh and translucent as snow.
[Uses Biomimetic Emulsion Capsules] To stably incorporate the active ingredient, an oil-based solid that is difficult to dissolve in water like butter, into a refreshing lotion, Kose uses its unique technology: biomimetic emulsion capsules created by high-pressure microphospholipid emulsification. Due to the small size of the capsules, it achieves the refreshing feel and deep penetration into the stratum corneum characteristic of medicated Sekkisei. [The moisture-retaining pack ingredients hold onto moisture, locking it in and sealing it in.] While protecting the skin from external irritants with a moisturizing film, it leads to plump, soft, bouncy, firm, and radiant skin that you'll want to touch forever. It reduces the appearance of fine lines caused by dryness. (Efficacy evaluation test completed) While feeling the refreshing dewiness characteristic of Sekkisei, the richer, more concentrated, melting texture provides a comfortable feeling that you'll want to use every day. It delivers high moisturizing power and long-lasting hydration that will satisfy you all year round.
