Minon Amino Moist Moist Charge Lotion I 150ml

Minon Amino Moist Moist Charge Lotion I 150ml is a lightweight amino acid toner for dry and sensitive skin — the lighter-texture variant in the Minon Amino Moist Moist Charge Lotion range, formulated by Daiichi Sankyo, the pharmaceutical company behind Transino. It delivers 9 moisturising amino acids that are structurally identical to the NMF (Natural Moisturising Factor) proteins that keep the stratum corneum hydrated, in a formula that absorbs in seconds without any stickiness.

• 9 Moisturising Amino Acids (Valine, Threonine, Serine and 6 others) — NMF-identical amino acids that replenish the moisture-binding proteins in the stratum corneum
• Glycerin — draws and holds moisture within the skin throughout the day
• Soft-Skin Clear Complex (Lysine HCl + Carnosine) — promotes skin clarity and softness alongside the moisture actives
• Lightweight I texture — the faster-absorbing of the two Moist Charge Lotion variants; suited to oily, combination, and normal skin
• Alcohol-free, fragrance-free, paraben-free, mineral oil-free
• 150ml — 2025 renewed formula; pairs with the Moist Charge Milk emulsion

How it works: The NMF is the primary moisture-binding system in the stratum corneum — a mixture of amino acids, lactic acid, and urea that holds water within the skin cells. Amino acid toners like Minon Amino Moist supplement the NMF directly by applying the same amino acid types externally, increasing the total moisture-binding capacity of the stratum corneum. This is more targeted than general humectants like HA, which bind moisture to the surface without replenishing the NMF.

Minon Lotion I vs Lotion II: Lotion I (this product) is lighter in texture and absorbs faster — suited for oily-to-normal skin, warmer months, or layering as a first step under a richer moisturiser. Lotion II is richer and more viscous — suited for dry skin or winter use where a more substantial toner is needed. Both contain the same 9 amino acid system; the difference is texture weight and emollient content only.

Known in Japan as ミノン アミノモイスト モイストチャージ ローション I しっとりタイプ 150mL.
