Description

Kikumasamune Sake Skin Care Lotion Clear Moist 500ml is a lightweight sake-based toner for oily, combination, and normal skin seeking the amino acid and brightening benefits of fermented sake in a watery, fast-absorbing format without the richer texture of the High Moist variant. It adds Retinol Palmitate, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), and Tocopherol Acetate (Vitamin E) — creating an antioxidant-brightening toner on a fermented sake foundation.

  • Junmai Ginjo Sake (Fermented Rice Liquid) — naturally rich in amino acids, Kojic Acid, and B vitamins for hydration and skin brightening
  • Retinol Palmitate (Vitamin A Derivative) — gentle stable form of Vitamin A that supports cell renewal and skin texture refinement
  • Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) — antioxidant brightening support; prevents UV-triggered melanin formation
  • Tocopherol Acetate (Vitamin E) — antioxidant that stabilises the Vitamin C and supports skin condition
  • Light watery texture — absorbs instantly with no stickiness; the lightest sake toner in the Kikumasamune range
  • 500ml — large format; appropriate for the generous daily application that lightweight toners allow

How it works: The Vitamin A+C+E combination provides complementary antioxidant coverage: Vitamin C directly inhibits melanin production and reduces existing melanin; Vitamin E stabilises Vitamin C and provides independent barrier support; Vitamin A (Retinol Palmitate) supports cell turnover to shed pigmented surface cells faster. On a sake amino acid base that hydrates and smooths simultaneously, this creates a brightening toner that addresses multiple dullness causes in one step.

Clear Moist vs High Moist vs Hari-Tsuya: Clear Moist (this product) is for oily or combination skin wanting lightweight brightening and antioxidant support on a sake base. High Moist is for dry skin needing rich hydration with Ceramide and Arbutin brightening. Hari-Tsuya Moist is for aging skin needing firming and barrier support via Niacinamide and Ceramides. Choose based on skin type and primary concern — all three share the same Junmai Ginjo sake foundation.

Known in Japan as 菊正宗 日本酒の化粧水 透明保湿 500ml.

Key Ingredients

  • Rice Ferment (Sake / コメ発酵液) — Junmai Ginjo sake base delivering free amino acids, vitamins, and minerals for deep surface hydration
  • Retinol Palmitate (Vitamin A Derivative) — gentle form of vitamin A that supports skin cell renewal and helps refine skin texture over time
  • Ascorbyl/Tocopheryl Phosphate K (Vitamin C Derivative) — stabilised vitamin C form that helps brighten skin tone and defend against oxidative stress
  • Tocopheryl Phosphate Na (Vitamin E Derivative) — antioxidant that helps neutralise free radical damage and supports a healthy skin barrier
  • Arbutin — brightening agent that helps reduce the appearance of dark spots and uneven pigmentation with regular use

HOW TO USE

  1. After cleansing, dispense 1–2 pumps into palms and press into face and neck.
  2. Apply generously to body after showering — the lightweight texture absorbs quickly without leaving skin feeling coated.
  3. Soak a cotton pad for a 5-minute face pack on particularly dull or uneven areas.
  4. Pro tip: Works especially well in summer or humid climates where richer toners feel too heavy — use generously as a body mist substitute.

FAQ

What is the difference between Clear Moist and High Moist?

The High Moist has a viscous, slightly thicker texture and focuses on deep moisture for dry skin — it contains ceramides for barrier repair. The Clear Moist is a lighter, watery toner designed for oily or combination skin; it replaces the ceramides with three vitamin derivatives (A, C, E) for antioxidant brightness. Both use the same sake amino acid base.

Does this contain any alcohol?

No. Despite the lighter texture, this formula is alcohol-free. It is weakly acidic and free from colorants and mineral oil — a common point of confusion given how watery it feels compared to the High Moist.

Allergen note — does this contain any nuts?

Yes. This formula contains peanut oil (ピーナッツ油) as an emollient. Those with peanut allergies should check with a dermatologist before use.

Is this the Japan-domestic version?

Yes. Sourced directly from Matsumotokiyoshi in Tokyo — the Japan-domestic formula sold in Japanese drugstores. TokyoShelf does not carry export or reformulated versions.
