Kose Japan SEKKISEI 雪肌精 Brightening Essence Lotion (200ml/6.7 fl.oz.)

· To celebrate the brand’s 40th anniversary, this new‑upgrade formula—the first in the history of Medicated Sekkisei—targets skin troubled by dark spots, dullness※², and roughness, building on the “translucency” that Sekkisei has pursued since its launch.
 
· Contains KOSÉ’s exclusive licorice‑derived active ingredient “Dual Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate.” Developed over 16 years, it is the first ingredient in Japan certified for both “whitening” and “moisturizing & preventing roughness.” It effectively addresses two internal skin stagnations that hinder translucency—“melanin accumulation” and “inflammation”—preventing roughness while suppressing melanin production to help protect against dark spots and freckles. Combined with Sekkisei’s signature blend and multiple Japanese‑Chinese botanical extracts, it also helps prevent acne, sun‑induced heat, roughness, and post‑hair‑removal irritation. Creates snow‑like dewy transparency—pure, flawless, and radiant bare skin.
 
· Utilizes a sophisticated advanced formulation: on one hand, an exclusive high‑pressure micro‑phospholipid emulsification technology transforms the oil‑solid licorice active ingredient into high‑performance biomimetic emulsion capsules; on the other, it pairs with Japanese‑Chinese botanical ingredients with a natural‑origin index as high as 88%※⁵. This further enhances Sekkisei’s unique dewy‑fresh texture and comfortable feel of instantly penetrating the stratum corneum.
· Enhanced perceptible efficacy. While maintaining the existing “high penetration sensation※⁴,” it also improves “post‑application skin moistness,” “lasting hydration,” and “skin translucency.”
· A dewy‑fresh, comfortable feel that melts into skin like the first snow, with instant deep penetration※⁴. Skin stays moisturized without stickiness, promoting water circulation deep into the stratum corneum. Keeps skin healthy, creating long‑lasting dewy, luminous, transparent bare skin.
· Contains highly concentrated※³ Japanese‑grown coix seed extract, improving dullness※² and brightening skin tone to restore skin’s innate translucency.
· Features a clear, natural floral scent that purifies both skin and mind, lifting away dullness.
· Environmentally‑considered packaging. The outer box uses FSC‑certified paper and eliminates the previously used plastic wrap. Uses plant‑based resin bottles (biomass PET) to reduce CO₂ emissions. The design and shape are also optimized to minimize plastic usage.
· A newly upgraded, contemporary bottle design. While keeping Sekkisei’s symbolic lapis‑blue “Sekkisei Blue” and apothecary‑inspired bottle shape, it now features a beveled cap and adjusted curves for a modern touch.
