    • This cleansing oil removes makeup very nicely without being too stripping or greasy
    • It really emulsifies nicely with water and rinses off very very well1:18
    • This product is free from preservatives, synthetic fragrance and colorant and is also a non-comedogenic product1:29
    • I would say this one definitely feels lighter on my skin and definitely a very solid everyday cleansing oil2:45
    • I would say this is a very affordable product for a department store product2:50

    Dr. K$56.68
    • It really leaves my skin noticeably smoother and helps prevent build-up without being too irritating3:16
    • I've been seeing great results. My face definitely feels smoother after this4:31
    • I feel like it really helps when you're putting foundation like a base makeup on because it does like the base makeup does get on and stays nicely with smoother skin4:35
  3. @tokyofoodiesarah reviewing ORBIS U Foaming Wash at 05:43 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This is a creamy foam wash that's super gentle on your skin5:21
    • This one I would say is definitely less dripping5:43
    • I don't even know how many I've used. I don't know, maybe this is my third or fourth one, even more. I've been loving this and it's definitely my go-to when I want like a nice gentle foamy wash6:21
  4. @tokyofoodiesarah reviewing Cosme Decorté Liposome Advanced Repair Serum at 07:18 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This one is probably the most beloved serum in Japan
    • I would say you wouldn't really see a dramatic change overnight, but when I use it consistently, the skin definitely feels a lot smoother, hydrated, and plumper. I would say less rough overall7:36
    • It is very very light and it gets absorbed into the skin very fast
    • Not that sticky, not greasy at all, not oily at all. I actually quite like this texture
    • Even my breakout prone skin handles this product very well7:18
  5. @tokyofoodiesarah reviewing IPSA The Time R Aqua at 11:34 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • It felt like it really really hydrates your skin very well10:19
    • It felt like the hydration was actually like penetrating my skin
    • My skin feels a lot plumper and more hydrated after using this11:34
    • Not irritating at all
    • I would say this product is good for all skin types. And it would be great if you're looking for a gentle hydrating toner11:39
  6. @tokyofoodiesarah reviewing POLA Medical Shot Wrinkle Serum at 12:57 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • The wrinkle shot focuses on treating existing wrinkles, not just preventing them11:59
    • I started using the POLA wrinkle shot on these lines and they definitely faded after using the whole tube12:57
  7. @tokyofoodiesarah reviewing ELIXIR Retinol Power Wrinkle Smoothing Cream at 13:34 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • Both Polar and Elixir, they claim to treat wrinkles rather than just preventing them13:11
    • I've seen a Japanese YouTuber actually like doing her own experiment where she applied the Polar product on one side and then the Elixir product on the other side for over a year and she made a comparison and she was saying that both products work just as well13:34
    • I would say they're both pretty gentle on your skin and I haven't experienced that much irritation

    Kanebo$41.50
    • This product is incredibly lightweight and does not leave a white cast14:38
    • It is super hydrating during the day and it layers perfectly under makeup even in hot humid Japanese summers15:12
    • It's probably the least greasy sunscreen I've ever used15:18
    • It's definitely one of the best sunscreens I've used. Light, not greasy and just works15:31
    • It does really feel like a serum more than a sunscreen15:49
  9. @tokyofoodiesarah reviewing ORBIS Wrinkle Bright UV Protector at 16:30 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This one is definitely more affordable compared to the Kanebo, the previous one, but still very high quality16:12
