This product was well reviewed on Amazon, which is a big part of what inspired me to buy it. The lotion contains some really great moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and collagen, so if you're after a lotion that helps drier skin this is a good option to choose. I felt that the price was pretty reasonable -- I got it for 1091 yen off Amazon, and the bottle is 200ml so I think it will last quite a while. It's got a watery consistency, so it absorbs into the skin quite quickly and easily which is nice.

Back home, "lotion" is a lot thicker than what it is in Japan. This product has a slightly thicker consistency than water, and even though this product is meant to moisturize I find myself having to use additional products to get my skin feeling as moisturized as I like it! It also has a bit of a weird smell that I can't put my finger on. It's kinda medicinal smelling? I don't know if maybe they just haven't used a ton of artificial scents and maybe that's how it's *meant* to smell, but I'm not really a fan of it. Although I will use the bottle because I hate wasting things, I wouldn't go out of my way to purchase it again.
