before i departed to japan, i decided not to buy too many hadalabo and more sana products. so i was searching a lot and couldn't find enough review, so i went blind. i bought the haritsuya and wrinkle one since i wanted to try their anti aging line. the haritsuya line has added coenzyme q10 aside from the main ingredient which is soybean milk. i bought the cream to replace my night cream since it was going to end anyway.
the description from tokiwayakuhin website: cream containing fermented soybean milk and encapsulated coenzyme q10. with its rich pack effect, it packs in moisture as well as hides small wrinkles caused by dryness.
the packaging: it comes in tiny plastic box. it has description on it but everything is in japanese. and the text is white! how annoying it is since the plastic is transparent. the cream itself comes in a tub. simple pink plastic tub with black screw cap. no spatula included. perhaps that's why it's so affordable. no fancy glass packaging. it's just an ordinary plastic tub with sticker label on it. it's only 50 g and looks tiny, but it takes a lot of time to make dent into it. oh, and the color indicates the line. the original one is white and a bit orange spots, while the haritsuya line is pink.

the scent: definitely scentless, or perhaps soy scent? it does have similar scent to the face wash, although i also pick some synthetic plastic scent in it. i just hope it has subtle floral scent because this is the last step in my night routine, so i'm hoping it has subtle relaxing scent that last a little while before i fall asleep. oh well.. i guess that's why so many sensitive skin have better luck with japanese products. they are really scentless!

the product: it is a pristine snow white cream. pretty thick. i think it is thicker than my previous TFS cream. i think it is similar to my sulwhasoo sleeping pack. it's thick enough so it's a little bit harder to spread. if i use too little, it won't cover the entire area that i dot it before. but if i put too much, it will just sit around for quite a long time. and since this cream is pretty thick, it takes a little bit to sink in.

the result: after i put it on my face, i can feel my face becomes a little bit sticky afterward. this cream manages to moisturize my face without breaking it out. usually my face will get break outs if the product is too heavy, but not with this cream. in the morning, my t zone will be greasy, but rest of my face is okay. i've been using this cream for about 2 months, and i didn't notice any difference with my previous TFS cream. no added lines or wrinkle either. this cream also contains fermented soybean, but i didn't experience any purging either.

honestly, i'm a bit torn about this cream. i do like how it works well. it moisturizes my skin well without breaking it out, but sometimes i think this cream is boring. scentless.. and seems too ordinary. and although it has the same weight as my TFS, somehow this one seems never ending. i used this cream every night, and skip it when i used my sleeping pack, but it doesn't seem to end anytime soon. i think it will be too much for combination to oily skin, but i think dry skin will love it. i just wish it has a little bit scent, something relaxing.. after all, this is the last thing that i put on my face before going to bed. other than that, it's an okay cream for me. i won't decide whether to repurchase or not until i've tried all my cream that i brought back from japan.
