A Truly 'My Skin But Better' Finish

Users say it 'looks like my own skin' and 'doesn't look like makeup.' It evens out redness and darkness seamlessly, giving you a naturally flawless, radiant complexion without a heavy, mask-like feel.

Blurs Pores and Fine Lines Instantly

The micro-fine powder acts like a soft-focus filter. Reviewers note it 'makes my pores disappear' and 'hides my fine lines,' creating a smooth, perfected canvas in seconds.

Controls Shine Without Drying You Out

It soaks up excess oil throughout a busy day. Customers love that it 'keeps me matte' but 'never feels tight or chalky,' maintaining comfortable, balanced skin.

Protects Your Skin's Brightness Daily

The built-in SPF 14 PA+ shields against daily UV rays that cause dark spots and dullness. It's an easy, non-greasy layer of defense to help maintain your clear, even tone.

Saves Time and Simplifies Your Routine

It combines four steps into one. Users report it 'cuts my morning routine in half' as it primes, covers, sets, and cares for skin, perfect for a fast, effective start to the day.

Feels Lightweight and Breathable All Day

The formula is designed to be imperceptible. Many say they 'forget I'm wearing it' because it doesn't clog pores or feel heavy, even after hours of wear.

Gentle Enough for Sensitive Skin

Being fragrance-free and hypoallergenic, it's formulated to be kind. Reviewers with reactive skin confirm it 'doesn't cause irritation' and 'covers redness without making it worse.'

Builds Long-Term Skin Clarity

With consistent use, the skincare ingredients work to improve your skin's condition. Users see their bare skin becoming 'more even-toned' and 'brighter over time,' needing less coverage.

Born in 1985 from Kose's research into traditional Japanese herbal medicine, Sekkisei was created to solve a modern problem: dull, uneven skin caused by daily stress and environmental damage. The Snow CC Powder formula was developed by Kose's own labs in Japan, selecting ingredients like Coix Seed Extract and Angelica Acutiloba Root Extract based on their documented brightening properties in Kanpo (Japanese herbal medicine). Every batch is manufactured in a GMP-certified facility in Japan, adhering to strict pharmaceutical-grade standards. It's undergone multiple clinical trials for efficacy and safety. This commitment has made it a top-ranked CC powder in Japan for over a decade, trusted for its reliable, skin-perfecting results.

Kose Sekkisei Snow CC Powder SPF 14 PA+ - Flawless Radiant Finish is formulated with a blend of ingredients designed to provide multifunctional benefits for a luminous complexion. Key components include titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, which act as physical sunscreens to offer broad-spectrum UV protection (SPF 14 PA+), shielding skin from sun damage and premature aging. The powder contains silica and mica to impart a smooth, lightweight texture that blurs imperfections and minimizes the appearance of pores, delivering a flawless, radiant finish. Botanical extracts, such as coix seed extract and angelica root extract, are included for their skin-brightening and moisturizing properties, helping to even out skin tone and enhance hydration. Additionally, dimethicone provides a silky feel and improves adherence to the skin, ensuring long-lasting wear without cakiness. This combination of sun protection, texture-enhancing minerals, and nourishing botanicals works synergistically to create a product that offers coverage, luminosity, and skincare benefits in a single step.
