here where i live, probiotic seems to be hype ingredients that everyone likes nowadays, especially since one online shops have been quite vigorous in marketing one korean brand that use probiotic as its main ingredients. but maybe not so many people knew that before probiotic became such as a hype, some japanese brands have used probiotic as its ingredients, one of them was pdc cutura, but somehow it doesn't get enough love, probably because it's not easily found online. couple months ago i was about to go to japan again, and since it's been awhile, i decided to find out what's new in beauty community. and i found out that there's other brand that also use probiotic, BCL momopuri. apparently, due to its cute packaging, it gets more love than cutura. when i finally got to japan, i saw momopuri almost everywhere. so, i decided to buy the mask, lotion and the cream. i've used the mask and already reviewed it, so now it's the lotion's turn. anyway, if you're new in skincare community, in japan, lotion means toner (compared to korean terms), and milk means emulsion.
this is the description from their website: contains lactic acid bacteria and peach ceramide. plenty of moisturizing, puripuri skincare series. contains lactic acid bacteria and peach ceramide to apply. moisturizing lotion from the skincare series "momopuri". to a healthy skin everyday.
formulated with lactic acid bacteria EC-12 strain which focuses on skin resident bacteria. it's as if you're applying lactic acid bacteria to apply to give your skin elasticity.
cinnamon ceramide - a skincare product that's moisturized with peach ceramide, a moisturizing beauty serum ingredient that is particular about domestic production.
pore tightening - bergamot fruit extract/ peach leaf extract, vitamin c derivative/ hyaluronic acid/ vitamin a/e combination (all moisturizing ingredients).
slight peach scent.

| the original packaging with sticker and sealing on the outer body |
the packaging: the overall design is similar from one product to another. the toner comes in peachy pink plastic bottle with a dripping peach-like picture at front, which is similar to other products. there's a tiny text "lotion" to indicate the type of product. it has round peachy pink flip top that's cute addition to the packaging. it comes with plastic sealing on the outer bottle but nothing else on the inside. typical japanese packaging, but it's quite secure. somehow i've been used to japanese minimalistic packaging and fond of it compare to the super secure and a bit excessive korean packaging. it also has refill pouch, but since i just try this, i didn't buy the refill pouch.

| the bottle |
the scent: it does have peachy scent, just like the sheet mask. it's quite noticeable, but i like it. it gives a nice refreshing scent to my almost all scentless routine. but if you have sensitive skin and prefer fragrance free products, then you should skip this.
 |
| the back of the bottle |
the product: this is a watery toner. it's transparent though the peachy bottle makes you think that the toner is peachy as well. it spreads easily and absorbed quickly too. it does leave a bit tacky feeling, but nothing much.

| flip top |
the result: compared to my previous muji toner, this one is more moisturizing. it is hydrating obviously, but it's a bit moisturizing as well. i can use this twice a day without any problem. it doesn't clog my pores and layers well under my other skincare routine. i can layer this toner as well if i feel my skin is drier than usual without any problem.

| the toner on my hand |
i have to say compared to muji light toner, this one is more moisturizing and i like it better. but compared to my previous kikumasamune moist toner, it feels almost similar. i can feel the moisturizing effect, but i can't say anything about the pore tightening and lactic acid effect in this toner. i don't have good days all the time unlike what i'm used to, sometimes i get acne here and there and i have no idea whether the pollution or my skincare or my makeup did that. but i can say that this one help moisturizing my skin. if you have combination to normal skin, you might like this. but for drier skin, you might need layer several layers for your need. price wise, it's very affordable like most japanese drugstore products. availability wise, i don't know. obviously i couldn't find it here, even some pre-order online shops don't carry this brand. but if you're in japan, you could definitely find it there easily. after trying both the mask and the toner, i have high hope for the cream. crossing my finger that i might like it as well.
