*Skin Type: combination leaning dry currently cause of winter here*

*Environment: typically hot and humid, now cold and humid (yay Florida)*

1) **Kose: Clear Turn Essence mask CoQ10**

Product Type: sheet mask

Purported Effect: Collagen boosting

Texture: watery serum on sheet

Scent: light maybe faint cucumber mixed with lotion kinda

Experience: really loving these for the cost to benefit ratio. Going to be extremely hard to beat. I think I’m going to order all the rest of the varieties as well to see which is my favorite.

*Rating: 7/10*

2) **Cezanne: skin conditioner high moist**

Product Type: Skin conditioner

Purported Effect: skin prep and moisturizing

Texture: watery and slippery but doesn’t mist right if you try to put it into a spray bottle.

Scent: kind of like a watered down basic shampoo

Experience: The ingredients seem great. However it doesn’t seem to set as well into my skin, and definitely leaves a pretty bad shine even with just one layer. So I’ll keep using it for the long-term benefits, however I would prefer it smelling a little better, being mistable and be more absorbed.

*Rating: 7/10*

3) **KikuMasamune: High Moist lotion toner**

Product Type: toner

Purported Effect: hydrating and skin prepping

Texture: watery but slippery

Scent: yummy sake scent!

Experience: I need to just buy stock in this company or product at this point. Pretty sure if it was cost-effective to bathe in this, I would lol. Works perfectly in a spray bottle. I use it on my face, hair, body. It has a dewy finish.

*Rating: 10/10 ⭐HG⭐*

4) **Hada Labo: Guykyjun Premium**

Product Type: Toner

Purported Effect: hydrating

Texture: jelly like but absorbs quickly

Scent: very faintly floral maybe?

Experience: super hydrating, and plumps my skin extremely noticeably. I’m now using it twice a day and it will be one of my long-term staples.

*Rating: 10/10 ⭐HG⭐*

5) **Naturie Hatamugi: skin conditioner**

Product Type: skin conditioner

Purported Effect: skin calm and prep

Texture: watery

Scent: faint herby

Experience: I’m not certain this is doing much besides feeling pleasant. I think I will need more time with it. That said it definitely feels much better when layered. And does well as a missed when decanted into spray bottles and use between other steps of thicker formulas to help them absorb. But not sure I’d ever use it on its own.

*Rating: 6/10*

6) **Kose: Clear Turn Essence Mask: Vit C**

Product Type: sheet mask

Purported Effect: brightening

Texture: thin watery serum on sheet

Scent: very faint lemon water mixed with lotion maybe

Experience: love them. Relaxing. Affordable. Great daily ritual

*Rating: 7/10*

7) **KikuMasamune: skin care cream**

Product Type: moisturizer

Purported Effect: hydration and plumping

Texture: very thick cream

Scent: lovely sake like the toner

Experience: this is a really impressive occlusive without being core clogging. I love the scent, and the texture. And the price. A little goes a long way.

*Rating: 9/10*

8) **Nivea: Unscented SPF lip balm**

Product Type: chap stick

Purported Effect: moisturizing and sun protecting

Texture: balm

Scent: faint but sweet like

Experience: very simple but universal so will be a staple for me because it’s one of the few lip products that lack vitamin E which I have a sensitivity to with high usage.

*Rating: 8/10*

9) **KikuMasamune: Gel Cleanser**

Product Type: facial cleanser

Purported Effect: cleanse without stripping

Texture: thick gel and lotion hybrid

Scent: yummy sake

Experience: while I tend to opt for cleansing balms, and cleansing oils, this is definitely the best gel cleanser I’ve ever used.

*Rating: 8/10*

10) **Ishizawa Lab: Keana Nadeshiko rice mask**

Product Type: sheet masks

Purported Effect: whitens, smooths and moisturizes

Texture: serum on sheet mask

Scent: kinda like rice water mixed with aloe maybe

Experience: really hydrating and soothing but rather herd to find and rarely on sale. So factoring that into my rating.

*Rating: 7/10*
