Description
Spa Treatment Premium Lotion
Spa Treatment Premium Lotion is a concentrated, multi-active facial lotion from Japan's salon-grade Spa Treatment brand — formulated around beta-glucan derived from Sparassis crispa (cauliflower mushroom), one of the most studied polysaccharides for skin barrier support. The formula is built on a philosophy of nutritional density: alongside beta-glucan, it delivers more than 60 trace minerals, 12 vitamins, a full spectrum of amino acids, Reforcil (a ceramide-synthesis stimulating complex), and Homeo Age (North Atlantic algae extract). The result is a lotion with exceptional texture and layering behaviour — it absorbs fully, leaving the skin visibly plumped without stickiness or heaviness, and forms the ideal preparatory base for serums and creams. A staple of professional facial treatments across Japan's mid-tier spa and esthetic salon market.
Works exceptionally well before the Spa Treatment Premium Cream in a two-step routine. Reviewed among our top premium picks in Best Japanese Premium Toners and Lotions 2026. See the full Spa Treatment collection.
Key Benefits
- ✓ Beta-Glucan from Sparassis Crispa — long-chain mushroom-derived polysaccharide with documented humectant and barrier-support properties; forms a breathable moisture-retaining film on the skin surface while activating the skin's own hyaluronic acid production signals
- ✓ 60+ trace minerals — a broad-spectrum ionic mineral complex (from natural mineral-rich water sources) supports enzymatic skin processes, microbiome balance, and cellular energy production
- ✓ 12 vitamins — including vitamins B complex, C, E, and provitamin A; delivered in balance to support antioxidant defence and collagen-related metabolic pathways
- ✓ Full amino acid spectrum — including all essential and non-essential amino acids that function as Natural Moisturising Factor (NMF) components and building blocks for skin proteins
- ✓ Reforcil (ceramide-synthesis stimulator) — a patented ingredient complex that supports the skin's own production of barrier lipids, reinforcing the stratum corneum from within
- ✓ Homeo Age (Ascophyllum Nodosum extract) — North Atlantic brown algae extract rich in fucoidan and polyphenols; included for its protective and skin-tone-supporting properties in premium esthetic formulations
- ✓ Lightweight, fast-absorbing lotion texture — layers cleanly under serums and creams, works in all seasons

Who Is This For?
- ✓ Mature skin (40+) with declining NMF and barrier lipid production who want a toner-phase product with substantive active density rather than a simple hydration layer
- ✓ Skin that has undergone professional treatments (facials, peels, laser) and benefits from the full mineral, vitamin, and amino acid replenishment spectrum this lotion delivers
- ✓ Those seeking salon-grade skincare at home — Spa Treatment is a salon-channel brand in Japan; this lotion is formulated to the density standard of professional esthetic protocols
- ✓ Dry to very dry skin at any age that absorbs hydration quickly and needs a layering-first approach before heavier products
- ✓ Minimalists who layer — applied in multiple thin layers (the 7-skin method or similar), this lotion alone can function as a complete hydrating treatment step
How to Use
- Cleanse and apply to freshly cleansed skin as the first step after cleansing.
- Dispense an appropriate amount onto the palm or onto a cotton pad.
- Press gently into the skin across the face and neck. For a deeper hydration effect, apply 2–3 thin layers, allowing each to absorb before adding the next.
- Follow with your serum and/or cream. In the morning, finish with SPF.
Amount: Approx. 1–2 pumps or a coin-sized pour per layer
Frequency: Morning and evening
Tip: This lotion is well-suited to the multi-layer application approach common in Japanese skincare. Three layers applied with gentle pressing delivers noticeably more firmness and elasticity than a single layer — a technique used in Spa Treatment's own professional facial protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is beta-glucan from Sparassis Crispa and why does it matter in skincare?
Sparassis crispa, also called cauliflower mushroom, produces an exceptionally branched long-chain beta-glucan molecule. Unlike the shorter-chain beta-glucan from oats or yeast (commonly used in budget moisturisers), the branched structure of Sparassis crispa beta-glucan creates a more cohesive moisture-retaining film on the skin and has been studied for its signalling effects on skin's own HA production pathways. It is considered one of the premium-tier beta-glucan sources in Japanese salon skincare.
What is Reforcil and how does it differ from topical ceramides?
Reforcil is a proprietary complex designed to stimulate the skin's own synthesis of barrier lipids — rather than delivering ceramides externally (as most ceramide products do), it works to upregulate the skin's internal ceramide production machinery. The two approaches are complementary: topical ceramides replenish what is depleted today; Reforcil supports the skin's capacity to replenish itself going forward. Many premium Japanese formulations include both.
Is this lotion the same as the toners I see in Japanese pharmacies?
Spa Treatment Premium Lotion is positioned above the pharmacy toner category. It is formulated to salon-grade active density and is sold through esthetic salons and specialty retailers in Japan, not mass-market pharmacies. The texture is similar to a high-end essence-lotion hybrid — lighter than a cream but with significantly higher active concentration than a standard pharmacy toner.
Can I layer this lotion multiple times (7-skin method)?
Yes — and it is specifically well-suited to this application method. The lightweight, fast-absorbing base allows multiple layers without balling, pilling, or stickiness. Three to five thin pressed layers deliver a noticeably different result from a single layer — a technique consistent with Spa Treatment's professional facial protocols. Start with one layer and build up based on your skin's response.
Is this the authentic Japanese salon-channel version?
Yes, we source this product from authorised distributors of Spa Treatment's salon-channel line in Japan, shipped directly from our Kobe warehouse. Spa Treatment products sold in Japan's salon and esthetic market may differ from any export or mass-market adaptations available in other countries.
Will there be customs duties on my order?
Customs duties depend on your destination country and the declared order value. Many countries apply a de minimis threshold below which small parcels are not charged. We recommend checking your local customs regulations before ordering. Tsujimoto Market is not liable for customs fees, which are the buyer's responsibility.
