Kose Carte HD was born from a simple observation in Japanese clinics: sensitive skin often struggles with hydration, not because it's weak, but because modern life is harsh. Developed by Kose's research labs in Tokyo, this lotion uses a patented HD (High Definition) Moisture System. The formula centers on 5 types of hyaluronic acid, each with a different molecular weight, to target multiple layers of the skin. Every batch is produced in a GMP-certified facility in Japan, adhering to strict pharmaceutical-grade standards. It's not just a lotion; it's a precision hydration protocol that has become a top-ranked choice in Japan for sensitive skin care, trusted for its no-nonsense, effective approach.

Kose Carte HD Moisture Lotion - Deep Hydration for Sensitive Skin 200ml is formulated with a carefully selected blend of ingredients designed to provide intense hydration while being gentle on sensitive skin. Key components include hyaluronic acid, which acts as a powerful humectant to attract and retain moisture in the skin, enhancing hydration and plumping effects. Glycerin is included for its moisturizing properties, helping to maintain skin barrier function and prevent water loss. The lotion also features butylene glycol, a solvent and humectant that aids in ingredient penetration and hydration. To soothe and protect sensitive skin, it contains dipotassium glycyrrhizate, derived from licorice root, which has anti-inflammatory and calming benefits. Additionally, sodium hyaluronate, a salt form of hyaluronic acid, provides surface hydration and improves skin texture. These ingredients work synergistically to deliver deep, long-lasting moisture, reduce irritation, and promote a smoother, more resilient complexion for users with sensitive skin types.
