Kose Sekkisei Emulsion

Hi my beautiful ladies! I know it's too late to wish you all Merry Christmas but I'm still gonna say it :p
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
I apologize for slacking in updates but I've been very busy with work. I'm still trying to adjust myself to my working life and master the philosophy of time management. I'll try to write reviews during weekends and scheduled them to keep up the consistency.

Now here is a product that I've tried quite some time ago.


Quick Review

Benefit	Drawback
·    Suitable for normal to oily skin	·   Ineffective in boosting moisture level of skin ·   Contains alcohol which irritates skin ·   Feels sticky and itchy when skin sweats

I actually bought the emulsion together with the Sekkisei Lotion (which is actually toner but I don't know why they call it lotion). But I'll do the lotion as a separate review. 

Kose Sekkisei Emulsion

The emulsion is gel-based/water-based. So it is suitable for combination-oily skin. However, I do feel that it is harder for my skin to absorb the product. The emulsion stays like a layer of protective shield on my skin. I can feel it if I rub water on my face, the emulsion can be wash off easily. (Of course, no one is that stupid to apply the product then wash it off. I'm just trying to give you a better picture of what I'm trying to say) 

I can also smell alcohol from the product and the scent is strong . I'm not sure how many percent of alcohol does the product contains but it ain't little. Alcohol actually dehydrates skin so it is surprised to find out that moisturizing product contains alcohol. My skin was a little irritated by the alcohol as I have very sensitive skin. So it feels itchy when I first applied it and there were some rashes too. 

Gel-based moisturizer is perfect in cold/chilly weather but it's hell when you are under the hot sun. When you sweat, the gel-based moisturizer also melts. It will make your skin feel itchy, sticky and uncomfortable. There are definitely pros and cons for gel-based moisturizer.

This is a product that I would never purchase again because I feel that it is not as effective as it claimed. 

Stay tuned for the next review! 

Double dose this week, just to make it up to you :)

See you in a few days.....
