Top 25 Best Japanese Moisturizers and Face Lotions to Buy Online 2019 – Tried and True!
Last time, we talked about toners. Now, we move on to the next step in the Japanese skincare routine: moisturizers and face lotions※1. Face lotions are important--they are, if you remember, the lid that seals your toner in. And, just like in America, in Japan, we have our high-end and drugstore brands, our revolutionary products and dupes. We thought it was high time someone separated the wheat from the chaff. That's why we ordered the 25 most popular moisturizers and face lotions from Japan’s e-commerce giants (such as Amazon, Rakuten, and @cosme) and tested them all. We also invited a skincare specialist and had her compare the following:
1. Hydration
2. Application
This is how we tested and found the most exceptional Japanese moisturizers and face lotions. We also talk about the difference between lotion and cream at the very end of the article--be sure not to miss it. ※1 乳液: moisturizer / face lotion

In order to answer that question, we ordered the 16 most popular tubes of BB cream from Japan’s e-commerce giants (such as Amazon, Rakuten, and @cosme) and tested them all. We also invited two experts and had them compare the following:
1. How Well It Spreads
2. Coverage
3. Finish
4. Longevity
This is how we tested and found the most exceptional BB creams.
Top 26 Best Japanese Whitening Serums, Essences, and Ampoules to Buy Online 2019 – Tried and True!
It's a buzzword in Japan: translucence※1. It's similar to Korea's glass skin--skin so pure that it's nearly transparent, resembling layers of frosted glass. In order to respond to that aesthetic, cosmetic companies--both drugstore and high-end--here have been coming out with scores of whitening※2 serums, essences, and ampoules※3. As always, it's difficult to tell what kind of skincare is effective and what isn't. That's why, this time around, we ordered the 26 most popular whitening serums from Japan’s e-commerce giants (such as Amazon, Rakuten, and @cosme) and tested them all. We also invited a skincare specialist and had her compare the following:
