FASThe Black Night Charge MaskI personally love special-care products and own quite a few, but this is one I always want to keep stocked. For ease of use, price, and results, this gets 5 stars across the board. Since this is a special-care product, I use it the night before I have plans. You often see packs and masks for special care, but with this, all you need is toner + this product to complete your skincare routine! Rather than layering on several different products or massaging them in, applying just this one gives my skin better firmness and radiance. Right after applying it, I can feel the nourishment reaching my skin, and it leaves my skin looking incredibly glowy. When I wake up the next day and look in the mirror, it's like the dullness is gone and my skin has leveled up a notch. The texture is like honey, slightly thick and viscous. So it stays on the skin without running. It's also 7,700 yen for a pack of seven, which comes to around 1,000 yen each, so if you think of it as a slightly pricier mask, it's definitely affordable enough to repurchase 💖 I think it would also make a perfect gift. I haven't used it during the dry season yet, but I'm looking forward to using it when the weather gets dry 🫶🏻 I'll repurchase it when I run out. Highly recommend.

DecorteAQ Boosting Treatment Hair SerumI have fine, soft hair. I highly recommend this🩷 My hair tends to get frizzy on rainy days, but when I use this, people around me say, “Your hair looks so smooth and put-together today❤︎” You use this product between shampoo and conditioner. It works like a booster for your conditioner. Since it’s expensive, I use it once or twice a week and the day before I have plans, and on the days I use it, my hair definitely feels completely different when I blow-dry it after my bath. It doesn’t feel heavy or overly moisturized—it makes my hair feel light, airy, and silky smooth. Since my hair is fine, products that are too heavy tend to make it look greasy. This product doesn’t do that, but still makes my hair look prettier than usual, so I love it🫶🏻 One downside is that when I used it while my hair was long, I felt it wasn’t very cost-effective. With hair that reached below my chest, even when I tried to use it sparingly and only applied it from above my chest to below my chest, where it was prone to damage, I still used about 10 pumps. I think it would run out really quickly if someone with long hair used a sufficient amount. Now my hair is around lob length, so I think 5–6 pumps is enough. At this rate, it should last quite a while🩷 I have absolutely no complaints about how well it works and definitely recommend it! But I gave it 4 stars because of the cost-effectiveness. I’ll repurchase it when I run out. I recommend it.

Environ Skin CareCleansing GelIf you’re going to buy just one thing from Environ Skin Care, I recommend this. It isn’t harsh, so it’s an item that will (probably) work for anyone, and as you keep using it, it really changes your skin texture, so I can’t live without it 😭✨ I have oily skin with a lot of sebum and enlarged pores, but as I’ve continued using it, I feel like the unevenness of my skin has improved. The texture is a gel, which you apply to wet skin and wash in circular motions. It also lathers if you add a little water. It’s about 8 parts gel to 2 parts foam. I like gel face washes that aren’t too cleansing, so this is perfect for me! Also, even though it’s called Cleansing Gel, I basically use it as a face wash. Apparently it can remove cosmetics that wash off with soap and sunscreen, but I think it’s safer to use a makeup remover for makeup so you don’t get buildup in your pores. If your pores get clogged from sebum, I think the cleansing step is important, so definitely consider this one. I really recommend it 🫶🏻

AstaliftD-UV Shield Tone-Up SPF 50+Astalift by Fujifilm. The shade is Rose. This has really strong sun protection. It's a must-have for summer. Even if you don't apply it every day, using this as a base on days when the UV rays are strong, when you'll be driving, or when you plan to go out keeps worries about the sun to a minimum. It barely has any tone-up effect, so I mix it with a CC cream or color corrector from another brand. If you're using it on its own, don't expect it to tone up your skin. lol But I definitely want people to use this on days when they're more concerned about sunburn than toning up their skin. If you're choosing just one base product for summer, this is the one. The downside of previous Astalift products was that they tended to break down easily, but I feel like that's been significantly improved with this one. Its adherence to the skin and how well foundation adheres to it are both satisfactory. However, the biggest selling point of this product is its UV protection, so I don't think it's particularly good at the tone-up effect I mentioned earlier or preventing dryness, which is important in fall and winter. I think you could buy one for summer and use something else in fall and winter. But I'll definitely buy it again next summer.

CliniqueEven Better Active Booster SerumA brightening booster serum. Since it's medicated, I think it's easy to use even for people like me who are prone to acne. I have oily skin, and overly rich textures give me comedones, so I prefer something this lightweight. And a lot of lightweight products tend to have weaker ingredients, but this one actually does its job as a serum, so it's one of my favorites. As I kept using it, I could tell that my skin looked clearer in the morning. It's a little too expensive for me to buy every month, so 4 stars. But if I were rich, I'd want to keep several backups on hand.
