Not all Japanese beauty products live up to the hype. In this video, I expose the overrated skincare and haircare items like Keana Rice Mask and &Honey Hair Oil, revealing why they may not be worth your money. Instead, I'll introduce high-performing J-beauty products that actually deliver results. Whether shopping in Japan or online, find out which products are worth the investment.

  1. @mimimichi reviewing ISHIZAWA LAB Keana Rice Mask at 01:00 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • It's not that great, it's not worth it0:38
    • Their biggest claim is that it gets rid of blackheads and most of the reviews I've seen they're like this doesn't work, it doesn't do what it actually says it does1:00
    • If anything, when I tried this the next day I woke up and my skin was a little smoother, but there's no difference than that in using a moisturizer the night before1:08
    • Trust me, only get one of them if you're going to like don't go out of your way to get any more, save your money1:18
