i totally forgot when i bought this one. all i can remember was i was running out of my emulsion, and i had no plan to go to japan (back at that time), so i had to buy something else. so when i was in singapore, i knew for sure that there were muji stores, and i decided to go with their sensitive line, their most popular line. i've tried their toner and it was okay, so i was hoping my skin would like the emulsion too.
this is the description from their website: a skincare series using natural water from kamaishi, iwate prefecture. it gives a refreshing moisture to sensitive skin that is worried about drying. hypoallergenic that is gentle on delicate skin. no fragrance, no coloring, no mineral oil, weak acid, paraben free, alcohol free, allergy tested (not allergic to all people).

the packaging: muji products are always minimalist. for sensitive line, all bottles are made of transparent plastic bottle with metallic screw cap. on the back of the bottle there's a description and ingredients list. on the side of the bottle there's a volume indicator so you can see how much left in the bottle. i got the full size bottle which was ... ml. there's travel size as well, about 35 ml per bottle. the opening of the bottle is the same as the toner one. totally no fuss with the packaging, no extra sealing on the outer, no box whatsoever.

the scent: this one is totally scentless. you could smell something but probably it's from the ingredients.

the product: it is a milky white emulsion, a bit gel in texture. i think it has the same consistency as the hada labo alpha emulsion one. a bit more watery compared to my previous cutura emulsion. it melts into watery traces once spread onto the skin. it takes a minute or two to be absorbed.

the result: it will leave glowing traces on my face, so if you don't like glowing finish, you must use powder to make it less glowy. it hydrates my skin well and moisturizes it just enough. i think it gives similar result to my hada labo alpha. it gives perfect balance between hydration and moisture, while cutura was slightly more oily to my skin.

for me, i like that this one is quite simple, no fuss, straightforward. for me i would like to try something new, but if i ran out of anything else, i would totally repurchase this. price wise, it was cheaper in japan, but buying from singapore still okay for me. i don't know whether they have refill pouch for this milk or not since they had toner refill but i can't find it in singapore. but i can find it in japan. hopefully they will also sell refill in other country outside japan. i think this will suitable for people with sensitive skin, combination to oily skin. for dry skin, there are other types of milk, just like the toner. maybe the moisture or high moisture version will be more suitable for dry skin.
