Japanese cosmetics in Ukraine

A minimalist routine. Japanese skincare rests on a few regular steps: gentle cleansing, lotion, emulsion or cream, and sun protection during the day. The lotion (化粧水) is not a cleansing toner but the first hydrating step after cleansing. Kiku-Masamune's Sake lotions and creams from the sake brewer, Vivido all-in-one gels that combine several steps in one, and more are collected in face care.

Sun protection with a PA rating. Alongside SPF, which shows protection against UVB rays, Japanese makers state PA: the level of UVA protection, from PA+ to PA++++. Typical Japanese formats are light water-based essences, gels and milks. Our range includes Biore UV Aqua Rich, ISEHAN Sunkiller and the Menturm and Verdio lines by Omi Brotherhood, and the full choice is in sun care.

Gentle cleansing. In the evening, makeup and sunscreen are first dissolved with a cleansing oil, then the face is washed with a mild foam. This double cleansing (ダブル洗顔) is a familiar step in Japanese care and leaves the skin ready for lotion.

The 医薬部外品 mark. It appears on products with an active ingredient at a concentration approved by the Japanese regulator, often next to the word 薬用. It is a distinct Japanese category between ordinary cosmetics and medicines, but in purpose these are everyday care products, not medicines.

Start with your goal and skin type. For sensitive skin, look for 敏感肌用 (for sensitive skin) and 無香料 (fragrance-free) on the pack. Try a new product on a small patch of skin first and wait a day, and add new products to your routine one at a time.

For makeup, look at ISEHAN, the company known for the Kiss Me brand: Heroine Make mascaras and Ferme foundations and powders, some of them with SPF. You will find them in makeup. For hair there are Dime Amino Professional shampoos, conditioners and masks with amino acids in hair care, and for mums and little ones the ISEHAN Mommy series and Omi Brotherhood products in mom and baby.

Compare Japanese dietary supplements by the contents of the daily serving: the label lists it on the 1日目安量 line. Most of our range comes from ITOH, DHC and Asahi, with Orihiro, FANCL and YUWA as well. Japanese collagen, aojiru, vitamin complexes and other supplements are collected in health. Supplements complement the diet and are not medicines, so consult a doctor before use.

Japanese law allows the expiry date to be omitted when a product keeps its properties for more than 3 years unopened, so the box may carry no date. We check the shelf life of every batch on arrival and can confirm the batch details of a specific product on request.
