Skin That’s White as Snow.

Sekkisei translates to Snow Skin Essence, because white skin by Sekkisei is inspired by the beauty, luminosity, and pure white landscape of freshly-fallen snow.

This is the kind of white skin that Sekkisei has to offer, and it does this by minimizing the appearance of freckles, age spots, and sun damage, preventing future melanin formation, rehydrating, and brightening the skin through its complete solution to skin care - from makeup remover, to cleanser, toner, facial mask, and moisturizer that contain the highly-revered oriental herbs that are blended using the Japanese's centuries-old wisdom and the latest scientific research and techniques for whitening and skincare.

For 30 years, KOSE Sekkisei has maintained a small product line, enabling it to focus on one simple aim, and that is to make the skin as white, even, and bright as possible, inventing and reinventing itself to respond to women’s changing skincare needs.

KOSĖ Sekkisei and Japanese Skin Care.

White, beautiful skin was considered a highly-prized accent to beauty in many races during the ancient times, especially in Japan. Even as early as childhood, Japanese women would spend a great deal of their time tending their young skin with a wide range of beauty products, from the most basic Nuka, or rice hulls, as a facial and body scrub, to the most precious pearl from the Orient seas which they powdered and swallowed to whiten the skin.

This quest for white, flawless skin which started out as an aspiration to sway away from the social class differences soon emerged as a symbol of youthfulness, charm, innocence, and femininity. Aiming for the ideal porcelain-pale and creamy complexion has become so stitched in Japan's culture for ages. The Japanese's secrets for beauty and whitening in the same way progressed to respond to their different skincare needs, making Japan today an unparalleled name in the field of whitening and skincare. These characteristics have been so woven into Kose Sekkisei, a product by the Japanese cosmetic giant, Kose, making it a best-selling whitening and brightening skin care line of all times.

The Secrets Behind KOSĖ Sekkisei’s Superior Skin Whitening.

Sekkisei’s complete skincare line assures a white, flawless, healthy, and younger-looking skin using a wide combination of pure fruit, herb, and flower extracts that have proven their whitening and skin-caring abilities in many parts of the world, especially in Japan.

A common ingredient that you will find in Kose Sekkisei products are the whitening extracts of Coix Seed and Chinese Angelica. In addition to their skin whitening benefits, Coix Seed Extract, being a natural anti-inflammatory substance, helps to protect the skin from acne-causing bacteria and sun damage, while Chinese Angelica Extract, a potent antioxidant, which is rich in amino acids, Vitamins A, B12, and E, among other nutrients, nourish and rehydrate the skin to reduce wrinkles and repair skin damage.

How to Use KOSĖ Sekkisei in Skin Care.

1. Pre-Cleansing: KOSE Sekkisei Cleansing Cream

KOSE Sekkisei Cleansing Cream, a cream-based makeup remover, thoroughly removes makeup, including heavily-applied foundations, dissolves the buildup of stubborn oil and dirt in the pores, and lightly refreshes the skin. It contains Coix Seed Extract that whitens and enhances the skin’s clarity; Perilla Seed Extract, also known as Purple Mint, Chinese Basil, or Shiso in Japan, that helps to get rid of the skin’s impurities; and, Tea Seed and Apricot Kernel Oils that moisturize the skin without drying.

2. Facial Cleansing: Sekkisei White Liquid/Powder Wash.

To cleanse the face, refresh, and further remove surface dirt and other impurities, there’s Sekkisei White Liquid Wash for dry to sensitive skin, and Sekkisei White Powder Wash, for combination to oily skin.

Sekkisei White Liquid Wash contains Akebi extract and Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extracts to rehydrate skin that lacks a surge of moisture, and Rubus Suavissimus Leaf Extract that eliminates harmful free radicals in the skin cells. Just a drop of its milky formula creates a rich, foamy lather that washes away dirt, surface cells, and other skin impurities.

Sekkisei White Powder Wash has the extracts of Peony Roots that enhance Coix Seed Extract’s natural ability to counter bacteria in the skin and works together with angelica extract to remove freckles and activate blood circulation in the skin, while Perilla, or Shiso extract, detoxifies and protects skin from pollutants and the sun’s UV rays as it keeps sensitive skin healthy and trouble-free.

3. Facial Toning: KOSE Sekkisei Lotion and KOSE Sekkisei Lotion Mask.

While skin toners are normally apt to remove deep-seated dirt and residues from facial cleansers and facial soaps and prepare the skin for facial mask, as a facial toner, Kose Sekkisei Lotion combines the power of Melothria and Licorice Extracts to deep cleanse, remove and prevent skin hyperpigmentations that are induced by ultraviolet radiation and the overproduction of melanin, respectively, in addition to Coix Seed and Angelica Extracts that whiten, nourish to prevent premature aging, and repair the skin from sun damage.

For extremely dry skin, use this with Kose Sekkisei Lotion Mask, a paper mask that you just have to soak up with the Kose Sekkisei Lotion and put on like any sheet facial mask. Studies showed that this enhances the moisture level of the skin by up to 10 times than those without lotion mask.

4. Facial Mask: KOSE Sekkisei Essence Facial Mask and KOSE Sekkisei Herbal Esthetic Mask.

To help recover the skin's vitality and radiance, especially for sallow skin tones, there's Sekkisei Essence Facial Mask, ideal for dry, sensitive, and sun-damaged skin, and Sekkisei Herbal Esthetic Cream Mask, ideal for oily, hyperpigmented, and aging skin. They instantly liven up, brighten, and enhance your complexion after 1-2 minutes to a white, creamy, and glowing radiance.

Kose Sekkisei Essence Facial Mask contains Coix seed, Angelica, and Melothria extracts which altogether provide intense whitening effect for the skin as they deep-cleanse, revitalize, and inhibit the onset of skin aging, while Apricot Kernel Oil moisturizes the skin without the greasy after-feel, and Pot Marigold, or Calendula extract – the mild, herb of choice for sensitive skin, soothes and heals dry, damaged skin.

Sekkisei Herbal Esthetic Cream Mask, in addition to Coix Seed, Angelica, and Melothria Extracts which all whiten the skin, also contains a rich blend of anti-inflammatory ingredients that consist of the extracts of Citrus Junos or popularly known as the Japanese Grapefruit – an ingredient that has been frequently used in ancient bathing rituals in Japan for its excellent cleansing and energizing properties that are derived from its natural-based skin-rejuvenating acid substances like Citric, Tartric, and Ascorbic Acid; Poria, which is a healing mushroom that has a rich source of antioxidants; Calamus Root, which helps to fight pimples and other skin infections; and Mallow, which highly moisturizes and softens the skin. It also contains Moutan Bark Extract that works to detoxify the skin, and Nettle Leaf Extract that helps to treat pimples and acne.

5. Seal in the Skin's Moisture: KOSE Sekkisei Emulsion and KOSE Sekkisei Cream

To finish off your Sekkisei skincare routine, use Kose Sekkisei Emulsion, if you have naturally dry skin or to keep your skin hydrated, especially during the dry weather or winter months, and Kose Sekkisei Cream, which is a light, water-based moisturizer, if you have naturally oily or sensitive skin to seal in the whitening and efficient hydrating effects of Sekkisei.
