Review : Kose Sekkisei Supreme Moisturiser II



Product Description
A concentrated moisturizer that helps to maintain the skin elasticity and regulates moisture balance of the skin. Helps to suppress the formation of dark spots to reveal a healthy glow from within.
Harnessing extremely fine ingredients such as Melothria extract, Chinese Indigo extract and Chinese Soapberry extract to prevent oxidation of your skin while increasing its metabolism rate.

A Kose promoter was giving out the samples in Centerpoint and gave a sachet to me, several months ago. Since I have been battling dehydration on some areas on my skin, I decided to use this as a day moisturiser which I have been doing so, for the past one week.

Kose Sekkisei Supreme is a whitening series designed for
1) Dark complexion caused by sun exposure or stressful lifestyle
2) Dehydrated and dry skin
3) Rough and fragile skin
4) Dull skin tone caused by lack of sleep and exercise.
This series is rich in Japanese and Chinese herbs which are able to improve dehydrated and rough skin texture, as well as work into your overall well-being by calming your mind with its soothing scent.

White in colour and slightly creamy in texture, the product dries up fast on my hands so I have to quickly spread it on the face once its squeezed out from the sachet. The texure was abit too heavy for my skin, as the moisturiser II is a rich moisturiser as compared to moisturiser I.
It gives an oily sheen to the face with a sticky feel and you have to wait for a couple of minutes before it gets absorbed.

Since its quite a rich moisturiser recommended for dry and normal to dry skin, the initial slathering on the face gave rise to some tiny red bumps on the skin
Thereafter, I use a facial mist prior to the moisturiser application which fits my needs better.
While I like the comfort it gives to my dehydrated surface, its definitely too rich for my skin type, under our humid weather.

According to Beautykat, the usage is stated as follows :
- Use a cotton pad to saturate the moisturizer.
- Smooth the cotton pad gently starting from lower part of your face toward the ear. Can be used on eye areas.
- Apply the moisturizer again without cotton pad.
- After application, cover your face with hands and press the skin gently. The light and relaxing scent helps you to relax and improve blood circulation.

However, I use it like a normal moisturiser, without the cotton pads. It seemed like an odd step to me.
