Benefits
A sustained vitamin C derivative to help prevent spots: The panels name L-ascorbic acid 2-glucoside as a sustained vitamin C active that the pack says suppresses melanin production and prevents spots and freckles. This is a quasi-drug claim and results differ between people.
Glycyrrhizinate and panthenol for breakouts and texture: The first point panel names dipotassium glycyrrhizinate to prevent acne and rough skin and panthenol to tidy the skin texture. A review says they use it for acne care and that it keeps working.
Fruit and plant extracts that add a fresh feel: The second point panel lists lemon, grapefruit, saxifrage, houttuynia and Alpinia extracts. Reviews describe a faint lemon scent and a lotion with a little body, and several call it refreshing for summer.
A UV-barrier bottle that protects the actives: The fourth point panel shows a bottle designed to protect the actives from oxidation by ultraviolet light, and refill pouches are available so you can keep the same bottle in use for longer.
Two lotion types and a sensitive-skin patch test: The third point panel notes the regular lotion suits spring and summer and a moist type suits dry skin, and says it was sensitive-skin patch tested. A review from sensitive skin says it does not sting.
A medicated lotion from a Japanese pharmaceutical maker: The labels show a quasi-drug lotion with its sales name and made-in-Japan mark, from a Japanese pharmaceutical company, and our ingredients section reproduces every item from the product description in order.
