{"title":"Japanese Essence","description":"\u003cp\u003eJapanese essences occupy a unique place in the J-Beauty routine — applied after toner and before serum, they deliver concentrated active ingredients in a lightweight, fast-absorbing format. Think of an essence as a bridge between hydration and treatment: it enhances your skin's ability to absorb everything that follows while providing its own targeted benefits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Tsujimoto Market, our essence collection features some of Japan's most celebrated skincare products. From cult favorites like SK-II Facial Treatment Essence with Pitera to Hada Labo premium hyaluronic acid essence and Shiseido Eudermine — each product represents decades of Japanese skincare research and innovation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJapanese essences typically contain fermented ingredients, hyaluronic acid, ceramides, or botanical extracts at higher concentrations than toners but in a lighter texture than serums. Fermented essences, in particular, are a Japanese specialty — the fermentation process creates smaller molecules that penetrate deeper into the skin and produces beneficial by-products like amino acids and peptides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery essence in our collection is 100% authentic and shipped directly from Kobe, Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the difference between a Japanese essence and a serum?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEssences are lighter in texture and focus on overall skin conditioning and hydration enhancement. Serums are thicker and contain higher concentrations of targeted active ingredients for specific concerns like wrinkles or dark spots. In a full Japanese routine, you apply essence first, then serum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDo I really need an essence in my routine?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn essence is not strictly necessary, but it can significantly improve your results. It helps your skin absorb subsequent products more effectively and provides an extra layer of hydration and active ingredients. If you want to simplify, you can skip it — but many people find it makes a noticeable difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat makes SK-II Facial Treatment Essence so popular?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSK-II FTE contains over 90% Pitera, a proprietary fermented ingredient derived from sake yeast. Pitera is rich in vitamins, amino acids, minerals, and organic acids that improve skin texture, clarity, and radiance. It has been a best-seller in Japan for over 40 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow do I apply Japanese essence?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePour a small amount into your palms and press gently into clean, toned skin. Pat — do not rub — until absorbed. Apply before serums and moisturizers.

This is a higher standard than standard cosmetics and means the active ingredients (4MSK and tranexamic acid) are verified to have a whitening effect, not just claimed to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between Melanofocus V and previous versions?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe V version introduced the V-Cut Complex (white lily extract + glucosamine), which enhances penetration of the core whitening actives. Previous iterations relied on 4MSK alone; the dual-active approach targeting both surface signals and deeper melanin synthesis is specific to the V formulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long will it take to see results?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost users observe the first visible improvement in skin luminosity after 4–6 weeks of consistent twice-daily use. For existing dark spots and melasma, 8–12 weeks is the typical evaluation window. Results are dependent on daily SPF protection — skipping sunscreen will reverse progress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this the Japanese domestic version?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. This is the Shiseido Haku product sold in Japan, not the international (global) Shiseido whitening serum. The Haku line uses quasi-drug actives (4MSK + tranexamic acid) that differ from the internationally marketed formulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use this if I have sensitive skin?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4MSK is generally well tolerated.

EGF binds to receptors on the surface of skin cells, triggering a cascade of cellular renewal processes — including accelerated cell division, collagen synthesis, and tissue repair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom around the age of 25, the skin's natural EGF production begins to decline. This gradual reduction is directly linked to the visible signs of aging: thinning skin, loss of firmness, wrinkle formation, and slower healing. Applying EGF topically in a well-formulated serum helps replenish this deficit and restart the skin's own renewal mechanisms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLa Mente EGF uses \u003cstrong\u003ehuman oligopeptide-1\u003c\/strong\u003e — a bioidentical form of EGF with the same amino acid sequence as the body's own growth factor — encapsulated in a hydrogenated lecithin and cholesterol base that supports skin-identical delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho Is This For?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal for mature skin showing signs of aging — loss of firmness, wrinkles, thinning, or uneven tone.

For an oral collagen routine please see our supplement range (Asahi Perfect Asta Collagen Powder, Shiseido The Collagen Drink, Meiji Amino Collagen and others). Topical collagen works on the surface of the skin; oral collagen is absorbed via the gut. They are not interchangeable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQ: What does \"Extract 100\" mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: It is La Mente's naming convention for its line of mono-essences — each \"Extract 100\" bottle is built around one hero active (Collagen \/ Hyaluron \/ Placenta \/ Umbilical) at high concentration. They are designed to be layered to build a custom esthetician-style routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQ: Is the collagen marine, porcine or bovine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The source is documented on the Japan-domestic packaging and may differ between production lots. Please ask us before ordering if you need to confirm the source for allergy, dietary or religious reasons; we will check the current lot we ship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQ: Can I layer this with retinol or AHA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Yes — topical collagen is generally compatible with most actives. Apply the La Mente essence after toner and before your retinol or moisturiser at night. Avoid using fresh acid peels in the same routine as a salon-tier essence; let the skin recover for 48 hours after professional treatments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQ: Will this make my own collagen production increase?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: No — topical collagen molecules are too large to penetrate the skin barrier and join the dermal collagen network. The benefit of topical collagen is surface hydration and conditioning, not regeneration.

C10 is recommended for sensitive skin or vitamin C beginners. C20 is the mid-range option with a good balance of efficacy and tolerability. C25 is the highest concentration and delivers the strongest brightening and anti-aging effect — it is most appropriate for skin that is already accustomed to active ingredients or for cases of more pronounced pigmentation. Obagi recommends moving through the range gradually rather than starting at C25.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy is the bottle so small (12ml)?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eL-Ascorbic Acid is notoriously unstable. Once a bottle is opened and exposed to air and light, the Vitamin C begins to oxidise and lose potency. The 12ml format is deliberately small to ensure that a full bottle is used within approximately 4–6 weeks — the window during which the formula remains at maximum efficacy. A larger bottle would result in the latter half of the product being significantly less effective. The small size is a feature, not a limitation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan Obagi C25 be used with retinol or AHA\/BHA exfoliants?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eObagi C25 is best used separately from retinoids and chemical exfoliants (AHA\/BHA) to avoid over-stimulation. A common approach is to use C25 in the morning (with SPF) and retinol or exfoliants at night. Avoid layering all actives in the same routine, particularly at the C25 concentration. If you are using prescription retinoids, consult your dermatologist about the sequencing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow long before I see results from Obagi C25?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSkin brightness and early-stage radiance improvements are typically noticeable within 2–4 weeks of consistent daily use. Significant reduction in hyperpigmentation and improvement in skin texture generally requires 8–12 weeks of daily morning application combined with consistent SPF use. Without sunscreen, new pigmentation will continue to form, counteracting the serum's benefits. Results are cumulative — consistency is the single most important factor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAuthentic product sourced and shipped directly from Japan.

A cosmetic applied to the surface is not a medical treatment, and we make no claim that it regenerates tissue, rebuilds collagen or reverses ageing. Treat it as a hydrating, antioxidant-supported leave-on step, and judge it on how your skin looks and feels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThis contains a human-derived ingredient — what does that mean for me?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt means the active is grown from cultured human cells rather than from a plant or an animal. Japan permits this class of ingredient in cosmetics and regulates it; the European Union does not permit it at all, because Annex II of the EU Cosmetics Regulation prohibits cells, tissues and products of human origin in cosmetic products. That prohibition is about the risk of transmitting disease through human-sourced material, and it applies regardless of how the ingredient performs. Practically: this is a Japanese domestic product, we ship it as such, and an EU customs authority may take a view on it.

This three-step conversion makes it gentler and slower-acting than retinol, making it a good starting point for retinoid beginners or those with sensitive skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use Transderma Vitamin A with Transderma C and Transderma R?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Transderma trilogy (A \/ C \/ R) is designed to be layered. A recommended approach: use Transderma C in the morning with SPF, and alternate Transderma A and Transderma R in the evening on different nights. This avoids potential pH conflicts and gives each active its optimal conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does the formula only have 4 ingredients?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTransderma's professional philosophy is minimum necessary ingredients at effective concentrations — no fillers, no fragrance, no preservative cocktails. Squalane serves as the vehicle, Dimethyl Isosorbide boosts penetration, Vitamin E stabilises the retinoid, and Retinyl Palmitate is the active. That's all that's needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this suitable for daytime use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Retinyl Palmitate and other retinoids should be used at night only. UV light can degrade the active and potentially cause photosensitivity. Always apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ the following morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long before I see results from Retinyl Palmitate?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to the multi-step conversion to retinoic acid, results typically take longer than with pure retinol — expect 8–12 weeks of consistent use before visible improvements in fine lines and skin texture.

Transderma does not publicly disclose the exact percentage, but the formula is designed for high bioavailability — the stabilisation technology delivers active vitamin C to the dermis more efficiently than many higher-percentage unstabilised serums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQ: Can I use this serum in the morning and evening?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Yes — it is suitable for both. Morning use under SPF is classic for antioxidant protection; evening use supports overnight collagen synthesis.

The formula contains no fragrance, no preservatives and no fillers, which reduces irritation risk compared to complex formulas. A patch test before full-face application is always recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQ: How long does shipping take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: After dispatch from Kobe, most regions receive the parcel within 7–14 business days.

Is that right?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, and we removed that line. It is the sort of sentence that sells serum and irritates faces. Pure ascorbic acid has a sensible working range on skin, and going above it does not increase the benefit — it increases stinging, redness and the chance you abandon the product altogether. Three to four drops covers a face. If you find yourself using appreciably more than that, the extra is doing nothing except emptying the bottle faster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is there no water in it, and why does that matter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause water is what destroys vitamin C. Ascorbic acid in an aqueous solution oxidises steadily — faster with light, air and warmth — and an oxidised vitamin C serum is both less effective and, in high concentrations, more irritating. Formulating without water removes the main route of degradation. The practical trade-off is texture: an anhydrous propylene glycol base feels tackier than a watery serum. Applying a moisturiser over the top solves that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIt stings a little. Should I stop?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA brief tingle in the first minute is common with pure ascorbic acid, especially early on, and it usually settles as your skin adjusts. What is not normal is stinging that persists after a few minutes, burning, or redness that lasts. If you get any of those, rinse the serum off, wait a few days, and either reintroduce it less often or move to a gentler vitamin C derivative. Skin that is already compromised — over-exfoliated, windburnt, mid-flare — should not be the skin you start on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould I use it in the morning or the evening?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEither works. We suggest starting in the evening because it lets you learn how your skin responds without also managing sunscreen and make-up over a tacky layer. Once you know you tolerate it, morning use alongside sunscreen is a reasonable routine — the two complement each other. What matters more than the time of day is that you are consistent and that sunscreen is part of the routine either way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this an authentic Japanese product?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

This gel uses disodium lauroyl lysine glutamate, built from the amino acids lysine and glutamic acid, instead of sulfates such as SLS. Amino acid surfactants clean less aggressively, which is why skin does not feel stripped afterwards. It is a formulation choice with a real difference in feel — not a claim about what the cleanser does to your skin beyond cleaning it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it make my pores smaller?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Pore size is largely set by genetics and skin type, and nothing you rinse off after two minutes will change it. What thorough gentle cleansing does do is stop pores looking more congested than they need to, because makeup and sebum are not left sitting in them. That is a real benefit, and it is a different thing from shrinking pores.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it vegan?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The formula contains water-soluble collagen, which is animal-derived, and the manufacturer does not state the source. The rest of the actives are botanical, which is probably why the product reads as plant-based at first glance, but the collagen rules it out for a vegan routine. There is no halal certification either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long will one bottle last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the recommended three pumps per use, a 150 ml bottle works out at roughly fifty applications — so about seven weeks of nightly use. That is an estimate from the dose and the volume, not a manufacturer guarantee; if you use more product or cleanse twice a day it will go faster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use it every morning as well as at night?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, if your skin is oily or combination — that is what the brand suggests, and a gentle cleanse in the morning can help makeup sit better. If your skin is dry or sensitive, water alone in the morning is often kinder, and this gel stays as the evening step. Watch how your skin feels and let that decide rather than the label.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Starry Eye","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41024831750319,"sku":"Starry Eye Carely Make Off","price":5500.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7561\/5151\/products\/4_22685f10-e521-45cc-95e2-883163d26b86.jpg?v=1638256833"},{"product_id":"senecio-2pcs","title":"Senecio - Innovative Serum Set, 2 pcs (Choice of Serums)","description":"\u003cp\u003eYou can choose 2 serums from 3, or select 2 identical serums (specify which serums you need in the order comments):\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1. \u003cstrong\u003eSenecio LA 25 - serum with high concentration of vitamin C (25%)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Serum action:\u003cbr\u003e - Protects skin from ultraviolet radiation,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e- Removes age spots,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e- Reduces peeling,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e- Evens complexion,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e- Suppresses melanin production,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e- Stimulates own collagen production,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e- Creates a glowing skin effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2.

The maker builds it around a liposomal carrier and humectants like hyaluronic acid, so the skin feels conditioned rather than tight when you layer the next step. Think of it as preparing the canvas rather than being the paint — it is meant to make the products after it work more comfortably, not to replace them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use it on its own?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can, but it is not designed to be a complete routine by itself. It has no sun protection and is not a rich moisturiser, so on most skin you would still want a lotion or cream afterwards. Its value is in the sequence: primer first, then your usual treatment and moisture steps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe description mentions “aquaporin” and “water channels” — is that proven?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is how the brand explains glyceryl glucoside, one of the ingredients: aquaporins are real water-transport proteins in skin cells, and the marketing draws on that idea. What is well established is that glyceryl glucoside is an effective humectant that helps hold water in the outer skin. We would treat the “water channel” language as the brand's framing rather than a measured effect on your face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this product halal or suitable for vegans?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe actives named are plant- and sugar-derived, so nothing in the disclosed list is animal-sourced; however the full INCI is not published here, so we cannot state it is fully vegan.

The idea is that an esthetician (or you, at home) can layer two or three SE-100 numbers — say №1 Hyaluron + №4 Placenta — to build a custom routine. It is the opposite of a \"10-in-1\" serum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQ: What kind of placenta is in this product?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: La Sincere uses mammalian placenta extract from controlled sources. The exact species is documented on the Japan-domestic packaging; we will confirm the lot we ship if requested. It is not plant-based \"placenta\" (some marketing terms in skincare are misleading). This is an animal-derived ingredient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQ: Can I use it during pregnancy or breastfeeding?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: We do not recommend it without consulting your doctor. Topical placenta-containing products are sometimes flagged in obstetric guidance because of hormone-adjacent concerns, even when systemic absorption from topical use is low. Please get personalised medical advice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQ: Is it halal- or vegan-friendly?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: No. The hero active is an animal-derived ingredient. The product does not carry a formal halal certificate and is not vegan. Customers with strict dietary or religious requirements should choose a different essence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQ: Is this the same product as the international \"Lipoderm\" line?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: La Sincere runs two lines — Lipoderm (professional in-salon) and La Sincia (home-care). SE-100 №4 Placenta is the home-care SE-100 version of the placenta active. Both are Japan-domestic salon-channel; this is the home version designed for layered routines outside the treatment chair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQ: How long will shipping take and will I pay customs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: We ship from Kobe, Japan within 2–6 business days.

Japan permits this class of ingredient in cosmetics and regulates it; the European Union does not permit it at all, because Annex II of the EU Cosmetics Regulation prohibits cells, tissues and products of human origin in cosmetic products. That prohibition is about the risk of transmitting disease through human-sourced material, and it applies regardless of how the ingredient performs. Practically: this is a Japanese domestic product, we ship it as such, and an EU customs authority may take a view on it. It is also, unavoidably, neither vegan nor acceptable under most halal interpretations. If any of that is a problem for you, we would rather you knew before ordering than after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat do exosomes actually do in a skincare product?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExosomes are small vesicles that cells release, and in the body they do carry material between cells — that part is real biology. What is not established is that exosomes applied to intact skin in a cosmetic cross the skin barrier and go on to signal your own cells. The barrier is very good at keeping particles of that size out, which is largely the point of having one. So we describe this as a well-formulated moisturising essence that also contains niacinamide and retinol, both of which have solid evidence behind them, rather than repeating the cell-communication story the old description told.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use this if I am pregnant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It contains retinol, and the precautionary advice throughout pregnancy and breastfeeding is to avoid topical retinoids. If you want a Japanese anti-ageing serum without retinol, the Obagi Derma Power X Stem Lift Serum in our range is peptide-based and retinol-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe essence and the emulsion listings look the same — which do I want?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey describe the same formula. The manufacturer classes exo Moist Essence as an emulsion-type product (nyuueki), which is why both words appear. If you are unsure which listing size fits your routine, message us before ordering and we will confirm what is in stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this product halal or suitable for vegans?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeither vegan nor suitable under most halal interpretations, because the exosome fraction is of human origin. The product carries no halal certification — Japanese domestic cosmetics are rarely certified — so if certification itself matters to you, this product does not have it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spa Treatment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42827008180399,"sku":"Spa Treatment Exo Moist Essence","price":6545.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7561\/5151\/files\/5_881c494a-5d1f-4720-80f9-cf2b3954ff97.jpg?v=1698222569"}],"url":"https:\/\/tsujimotomarket.com\/collections\/japanese-essence.oembed?page=3","provider":"Tsujimoto Market","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
