Skin That Bounces Back

Users say it gives their skin a 'bouncy' feeling they haven't felt in years, like it's regained its natural support.

The End of Tight, Dry Skin

Say goodbye to that uncomfortable tightness after washing your face. Your skin stays comfortably hydrated all day.

Smoother Fine Lines Without Heaviness

It works on wrinkles but feels 'light as air' and doesn't sit on the skin or cause breakouts.

A Firmer Jawline Contour

Helps redefine the look of your facial轮廓, countering the softening that comes with stress and time.

Born from Kose's 70+ years of Japanese skincare science, this cream was created for skin that feels tired from modern life—late nights, stress, and environmental factors. The formula centers on the patented IC.U V Complex, a blend of 5 firming ingredients selected for their precise, proven action. Every batch is made in a Japanese GMP-certified facility, the same standard used for pharmaceuticals, ensuring purity and consistency. It has undergone 13 clinical trials to verify its firming and hydrating performance. This dedication has made it a top-ranked firming cream in its category in Japan, trusted by users who value results over hype.

The Kose Dr. PHIL Cosmetics IC.U V Performance Cream - Firming & Hydrating is formulated with a blend of key ingredients designed to address aging concerns and enhance skin hydration. It contains hydrolyzed collagen and elastin, which are included to improve skin elasticity and firmness by reinforcing the skin's structural proteins, thereby reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Sodium hyaluronate, a potent humectant, is incorporated to attract and retain moisture in the skin, offering deep hydration and a plumping effect that combats dryness and dullness. Additionally, the cream features niacinamide (vitamin B3), which serves to strengthen the skin barrier, reduce inflammation, and improve overall skin tone and texture. Antioxidants such as vitamin E are present to protect the skin from environmental stressors like UV radiation and pollution, helping to prevent premature aging. These ingredients work synergistically to provide users with a firmer, more hydrated, and resilient complexion, promoting a youthful and radiant appearance.
