Kose Sekkisei Brightening Essence Lotion

A brightening and hydrating essence lotion infused with licorice-derived active ingredients to prevent dark spots, rough skin, and dullness. This renewed formula, celebrating 40 years of SEKKISEI’s natural science research, helps achieve snow-like, fresh, and translucent skin.

This advanced formula focuses on two major causes of dullness—melanin buildup and rough skin texture—to restore clarity and even tone. The licorice-derived W-glycyrrhetinic acid stearyl ester, developed over 16 years, is a Japan-first innovation that brightens skin while preventing irritation.
Thanks to proprietary micro-emulsion technology, the active ingredient is encapsulated in ultra-fine capsules that deeply penetrate the stratum corneum, delivering moisture without stickiness. Infused with domestic Job’s tears extract, this lotion enhances radiance, hydration, and smoothness.

Key Benefits:
✓ Brightens and evens skin tone: Suppresses melanin production to prevent dark spots and freckles.
