| Verdict | The liposome pioneer. Launched in 1992, this serum uses phospholipid-encapsulated actives to drive hydration and repair ingredients deeper into skin. The texture is almost impossibly light, and the results on reactive skin are what keep the cult alive. One of the few Japanese luxury serums actually worth the hype. | The companion to the Base Care Serum and the second step of Kao's Sofina iP double-serum system — designed to be used after the carbonated Base Care to lock in benefits and add peptide + tranexamic acid + niacinamide treatment work. Where Base Care is the wake-up; Interlink is the treatment. Together they're the J-beauty premium serum protocol that's worth paying attention to. |
