| Verdict | The 500ml sake toner that broke the internet — amino acid-rich fermented rice for plump, glowing skin at an absurd price. | Minon's quasi-drug acne care lotion — dipotassium glycyrrhizate (the licorice-derived anti-inflammatory active classified as a Japanese quasi-drug for acne) plus allantoin + amino acid complex. For sensitive acneic skin that can't tolerate harsh BHA/AHA actives. Japan's accessible alternative to dermatologist-prescription acne treatments. |
