REVIEW: Kanebo Skin Harmonizer (for oily skin?)

A welcome addition to my skincare routine: Kanebo Skin Harmonizer

Disclaimer that this was seeded to me for consideration. I was not compensated in any form.

What it is: A dual-phase lotion that targets sebum and improves the skin’s barrier.

• A lotion that fights complex skin problems that include dry skin problems such as dryness and oily skin problems such as shine and stickiness.
• The amount of sebum that causes stickiness and shine is not limited to just the amount.When the ratio of certain unsaturated fatty acids in sebum components becomes high, the skin’s barrier function decreases, causing dryness and rough skin.
• Traps such “sebum that turns into bad”.Get moisturized, bright, well-balanced skin with a fighting lotion

How to use: Hold the bottle firmly and shake it up and down until the two layers are thoroughly mixed.

With hands or with cotton pad like a toner. SHAKE WELL BEFORE USE.

Review

Ive used this consistently in the AM and PM, after my cleanser and before my actives. I noticed this is the perfect prepping product so my skin is strengthened and calmed down before my ginsengs and retinols. It has a mild astringent smell, and feels like water. Light and quite refreshing.

Two weeks of use and I noticed my skin is less oily and not as easily irritated as before. Less oily?! But compared to other anti-sebum products, this feels nourishing and not drying. Not drying?!

Overall, I’ll be glad to finish a bottle. I hope I get to try the entire Kanebo Skin Harmonizer range too
