Description
Spa Treatment Rejuvenating Cream — Rich Anti-Aging Cream for Mature Skin, 30 g
Overview
The rich cream that finishes the Spa Treatment anti-aging routine, applied last over the lotion and essence. A thick texture with meadowfoam seed oil helps seal in the preceding steps and smooths the surface of mature, dry skin.
Spa Treatment is a professional skincare line from the Japanese manufacturer Wave Corporation, sold mainly through salons and aesthetic clinics in Japan. The eX range is its salon-grade tier. The HAS active is human-derived, so this cannot lawfully be sold in the EU — read the Cautions and FAQ before ordering. See also our Japanese moisturisers.

Full Ingredients
The cream is the rich final step of the series. Alongside the shared series base it adds meadowfoam seed oil, an occlusive plant oil that forms a light film to slow moisture loss.
HAS complex — a conditioned-medium ingredient the manufacturer describes as “repeatedly selected, filtered and cultivated stem cells” carrying a mix of growth factors. See the human-origin note below and the dedicated FAQ; this is the reason the product cannot lawfully be sold in the EU.
Common actives across the series, as named by the manufacturer:
- Homeo Age — a nutrient complex the maker describes as minerals, vitamins, carbohydrates and amino acids.
- Reforcil — a plant-derived complex (from Gynostemma pentaphyllum and rockrose) that the maker associates with barrier support.
- Beta-glucan — a humectant polysaccharide used for surface hydration.
- Grape-vine, artichoke-leaf and soy-seed extracts — plant antioxidants included in the “three anti-aging components” the maker names.
This is an actives list, not a complete INCI. Read the full list printed on the Japanese carton; if you have a specific allergy, message us before ordering and we will read the label for you.
Ingredient list as declared by the manufacturer. Formulations are occasionally revised, so always read the list printed on the package you receive.
Cautions
- Contains an ingredient derived from cultured human cells. Ingredients of human origin are not permitted in cosmetics sold in the European Union (Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, Annex II). This is a Japanese domestic cosmetic and is offered on that basis; if you are ordering into the EU, please read the FAQ below before you buy.
- Not vegan — the HAS active is human-derived.
- A rich, occlusive cream — those prone to congestion may prefer it in the evening only.
- Patch test on the inner forearm before first use, especially if your skin is reactive.
- Discontinue use and consult a doctor if redness, itching, swelling or persistent stinging occurs.
- Avoid contact with the eyes. If the product enters the eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water.
- Do not apply to broken, sunburned or actively inflamed skin.
- Keep out of reach of children. Store away from direct sunlight and high temperatures.

FAQ
Can I use the cream on its own, without the lotion and essence?
Yes. It is designed as the final step of the three-piece series, but a rich cream works on its own as a night or winter moisturiser over whatever routine you already have. You simply will not be layering the matching lotion and essence underneath it.
The description mentions “150 growth factors” — does this rebuild my skin?
That figure is the manufacturer's description of the conditioned-medium ingredient, not a measured result on your skin. 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.
This contains a human-derived ingredient — what does that mean for me?
It 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. 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.
Is this product halal or suitable for vegans?
It is not vegan and is not acceptable under most halal interpretations, because the HAS active is human-derived (grown from cultured human cells). There is no halal certification. 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.
The packaging is in Japanese — how do I know what I am using?
The carton and bottle carry Japanese-language labelling, because this is stock made for the Japanese domestic market. The ingredient list and directions on this page are translated from that labelling. If anything on the box is unclear after delivery, send us a photo and we will translate it for you.
