Have you heard about KOSÉ? If you’ve been anywhere near
skincare/beauty blogs and Facebook, I’m pretty sure you have. ;)
For those who might be scratching your heads, here’s a short
intro: KOSÉ was established in Japan in 1946, when cosmetics were considered
luxuries with goods still in short supply. At a time when even products with
inferior quality will sell, Mr. Kozaburo Kobayashi, the company’s founder,
instilled the standard that continues to this day of insisting on high-quality
products for their customers. This number of customers grew as a result. The
history of KOSÉ has been one of diligent research into product quality, and
placing emphasis on good counseling and customer service.
Shh… I’ll let you in on a little secret – the first proper
skincare brand that I used (cleanser, lotion/toner, emulsion, and white mask)
was this very same Kosé Sekkisei series, and it really helped to improve my
skin condition drastically. The only difference is that now they’ve launched
this super nifty and convenient Kosé Sekkisei
Lotion Mask, which is one of the best skin whitening products around! :D
Coix Seed Extract
- has effects such as increased metabolism, whitening, moisturization, and
prevention of skin roughness.
I’ve stopped using the full Kosé Sekkisei series for my
daily skincare routine, but I am still a loyal fan of their White Mask. It was
a real pleasure (not to mention a good trip down memory lane) to try out this
Sekkisei Lotion Mask. Basically it’s their Sekkisei Lotion (toner) in mask
form.
I received the packet mask to test out, and it’s just like
any regular sheet mask application. For those with the big bottle of KOSE
SEKKISEI Lotion, simply purchase a packet of shrink masks (they look like
pills), drop them into a cap of the lotion, wait until it fully absorbs the
lotion, unfold and apply! Remove the mask, unfold it, place on face for 10mins
(no longer than that), and remove and gently pat the lotion into skin to reveal
a clear, bright, rejuvenated complexion!

The Kosé Sekkisei Lotion provides “…deep translucency with the power of oriental plant extracts, even for
dull skin. It is a lotion that creates fine-textured, hydrated ’snow-white’
skin.” Having used this daily for several days, I can say that it really
does make my skin seem fairer, brighter and firmer. It does have a bit of an alcohol
scent when first used, so those with sensitive noses may not be used to it.
After a couple of times using the mask, the scent doesn’t bother me so much
now, and the results are worth the 10-minute wait, lol.

There are 3 main ingredients used in the formulation of this
Kosé Sekkisei Lotion:
Angelica Extract
- has disinfectant, whitening, and moisturizing effects.
Melothria - The
root of the Melothria plant is called White Lotus. The extract taken from this
root is said to suppress melanin production and has whitening effects on the
skin.
The Sekkisei Lotion helps to balance out the skin’s moisture
levels, preventing dullness, roughness, and pimples caused by dryness, as well
as redness caused by sunburn from sunlight, or by the sun’s reflection in snowy
areas. It blends instantly into the skin, just like melting snow, creating
fine-textured, plump skin. With a refreshing, light sensation, the lotion
leaves the surface of the skin feeling silky smooth, yet hydrated. Your skin
regains its natural pure translucency down to your pores.
