In order to dissolve various water insoluble components in this emulsion , Sekkisei used alcohol ,what a sad thing. Numerous plant extracts are the selling point of this product .Job`s tear is actually barley ,which helps in prevention of melanin formation .Witch hazel is widely used in cosmetic products nowadays for sebum balancing purpose .Majority of the plant extracts in this emulsion are for hydration and soothing function .The isoparaffin in this product is concentrate enough to cause blackhead and clogged pore .The others are all humectants and emulsifiers with appropriate concentration.

don`t think my hand bcum fairer after applying this,juz some light contrast prob =)

This emulsion comes with a very watery texture, this texture makes the cotton can absorb more of the emulsion .Besides ,the lovely floral smell successfully makes the user to feel a sense of relax while applying this emulsion .The smell is same with the sekkisei lotion ,means the alcohol smell is strong as well.

The emulsion will stay on your skin surface after applying since it cannot be absorbed completely .In addition ,I did not see a significant whitening effect . However ,I did find that the hydration effect is good enough for you to stay in air cond room for 6 -8 hours.

After toning your skin with a cotton soaked with lotion, spreading 2 pumps of the emulsion on the cotton then apply in a dabbing motion.For longer moisturizing effect,it is better to apply one more pump on the drying area or you can use with another moisturizer.

Pros:nice smell,hydrate and moisturize enough

Cons: limited whitening effect,sticky and the alcohol(for sensitive skin, sorry this is not for you)
