Addiction is art-school Japanese beauty. Skincare isn't the main story, but their hybrid primer-moisturizers and lip treatments are underrated — Japanese cosmetic elegance without SK-II pricing.

The Addiction Story
Addiction launched in 2009 under Kose, founded by makeup artist Ayako Kanda who built it around an artistic, gallery-like aesthetic. Skincare is the quiet sibling to their makeup, but the few products they make are genuinely refined.
