Brand note
MUJI's skincare is about quiet, functional steps that prep your skin rather than hit it with heavy actives. The Pre-Lotion is a standout — a lightweight, wipe-off toner that gently exfoliates with lactic acid while keeping skin hydrated, ideal for oily to combo types. Their approach is gentle and minimalist, but the Sensitive Skin Moisturising Milk can feel too oily for those with oily skin, so it's best for dry types.
