The Sekkisei emulsion's lightweight oil-water matrix also provides the lipid component that prevents surface moisture from evaporating, maintaining the lotion's hydration benefit through the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSekkisei Emulsion vs Sekkisei Essence Lotion — do both need to be used?\u003c\/strong\u003e For maximum brightening and hydration benefit, yes — the toner hydrates and begins botanical brightening action; the emulsion seals both moisture and botanical actives for sustained benefit. For warmer months or oily skin, the lotion alone is sufficient for daily maintenance. The emulsion is most valuable in dry conditions and for skin that needs consistent sealing to maintain the lotion's benefit through the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKnown in Japan as 雪肌精 ブライトニング エマルジョン 140ml.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kose","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47518664425725,"sku":null,"price":46.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/7556\/8893\/files\/sekkisei-brightening-emulsion-140ml.png?v=1778346311","url":"https:\/\/tokyoshelf.com\/products\/sekkisei-brightening-emulsion-140ml","provider":"Tokyo Shelf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
