Product summary

Judging from the ingredient list, "Kose - Kokutousei Brown Sugar Premium Perfect Lotion" works well for improving skin hydration As we expect from a proper moisturizer, the formula includes a combo of effective humectants and emollients.

Paraffinum liquidum, carthamus tinctorius seed oil, cholesterol, oryza sativa germ oil and cetyl ethylhexanoate in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.
