there's not much people talking about muji products aside from the sensitive series, so when i found out that muji has other line beside the sensitive series, i decided to try it. there's a clear care line (comes in blue bottles) and aging care line (comes in brown bottles). there's also another line comes in orange bottles. all the sensitive lines is scentless, but the aging care and clear care line has a bit fragrance added to it. so if you want scentless products, you should stick to the sensitive care lines. anyway, i bought this from singapore stores and they do have travel size for selected items, so i bought the emulsion from this line as i can't find the toner in travel size. so let's find out more about this one.
the description from their website (let me remind you that this is google translated so it might sound funny): a skincare series using natural water from Kamaishi, Iwate Prefecture. as a natural moisturizing ingredient, it contains 4 kinds of fruit extracts such as grapefruit extract and kiwi extract to prepare the skin where texture and pores are a concern. no synthetic fragrances, no coloring, no mineral oil, weak acidity, alcohol-free, paraben-free.
four kinds of plant extracts obtained from fresh fruits such as grapefruit extract that gives the skin firmness and moisture made from grapes produced in Yamagata prepares the texture and leads to fresh and transparent skin.
moisturizing functional ingredients: ripijua (polyquaternium-51) and Na hyaluronate.
the grape fruit extract contained in the clear care series is made from grapes grown in Yamagata prefecture. it is used in juices, and the raw materials are made from the skin and seeds of the pomace. the skins and seeds are frozen, vacuum dried, and then the extract is extracted. it has the function of tightening the skin.

the packaging: just like other muji products, it comes in minimalist design, similar to other products. the only differences are the color of the bottles and the description at the back of the bottle. everything else looks the same. for the clear care line, it comes in light blue bottle with description at the back in japanese. since i bought this in singapore, there's a small sticker label attached to the side with description in english. for travel size, it comes in 50 ml and has flip top. while the full size bottle has screw cap.

the scent: this one has added fragrance so it does have a scent, but as usual, i can't pinpoint what kind of scent it is. it just smells fresh and a bit fragrance.

| flip top |
the product: it is a white milk. the consistency is similar to the light version of sensitive care emulsion. it's a bit runny compared to the moisture version of sensitive care emulsion.

the result: it's been hot lately so this emulsion fits well. it's not too oily during the hot days but it still serves it purpose well. it does leave glowy finish, but not too much. it doesn't leave tacky feeling afterward too.

i have to say if the weather is hot like these days, i would reconsider purchasing this in full version. it's moisturizing enough for my skin without being overly sticky or oily. it layers well under sunscreen. it also smells nice. refreshing and a bit fragrant but nothing too much. unfortunately, i don't suffer any breakouts during using this emulsion, so i can't say anything about the "clear care" claim. but i do agree that this might be suitable for oily skin to combination skin type. if you have dry skin, you should skip this as it might not moisturizing enough for you. as for the price, as usual, muji skincare are always affordable, and there's a travel version for you to try first, so if you're interested, you should try it.
