Product Description

SENKA (“specialist”) Skin Lotion Made from Moisturizing Cream (also officially named Hoshitsusenka “moisture specialist” Lotion) is a  Japanese lotion with the moisturizing effect of a cream formulated for those with dry skin.

It is “manufactured… using the same process as moisturizing cream via Shiseido’s original emulsification technology” to provide a “cream-like high moisturizing effect” with the texture of a lotion. It is formulated with Royal Jelly GL (Royal Jelly Extract and Glycerin) and W Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Acetyl Hyaluronate and Sodium Hyaluronate) to moisturize skin. The lotion doesn’t feel sticky to the touch and it gives resilience to skin. 2 type available:

Refreshing (S) — “Retains moisture with a revitalizing feeling”
Dewy (R) — “Retains moisture with a moisture-rich feeling”.
