as i've mentioned earlier in my other post that i almost didn't find anything new nor exciting during my last japan trip. however, on my very last day, i met a nice SA at cosme store and i spotted a nice travel set. obviously i love trying a new travel set. it's a good way to try several items all at once. and i can get some stuff for when i'm traveling, so i'm killing two stones in one. anyway, i've tried the toner and now i'm trying the moisturizer.
this is the translated description from their wesbite (thus it might sound ridiculous): for those who are interested in cher couleur cosmetics and are using them for the first time, we have prepared a trial set. the set includes the naturepeau series, which gently cares for your skin. a cream that feels like emulsion with reduced oil content. it can be used as a day cream in the morning and as a protective cream at night. the blended bio ingredients and shea butter give your skin firmness and shine, creating a refreshing and distinctive moisturizing effect.
what's in the set:
- basic cream (cleansing): removes dirt from oil (makeup and sebum)
- whip soap (facial cleansing foam): removes dirt such as sweat and dust
- reply lotion (lotion): prepares your skin to be full of moisture
- duo cream (cream): protects your skin from losing moisture
the packaging: since this comes in a set, it comes in a plastic bag with zipper. there's a description at the back of everything inside but it's in japanese. the moisturizer itself comes in a mini pearly white plastic tub with screw cap. it's only 5g but it's okay. it'll be enough for around a week or so. anyway, the tub is really small, so it'll be easier to dig the moisturizer out with a spatula instead of your finger. especially if you have a big finger.

the scent: again, this one is supposedly fragranced, but i can't pinpoint what kind of scent it is and it's very subtle, so you don't need to worry about it.

the product: it's a white thick cream. it might have a gel texture in it, but not much. since it's quite thick, i only need a tiny amount for my whole face and neck. it isn't the type of moisturizer that melts into the skin, but it's still spreadable and it takes a while to be absorbed.

the result: this one is clearly moisturizing because it's thick. thicker than my previous night cream. however, it doesn't feel heavy at all. it layers well with my other skincare products and it doesn't pill at all.

i think this will suit dry skin more than oily skin. normal skin might get away with it as long as you adjust the amount and the layer of products that you use underneath the cream. as for me, this one works well to counter the dryness that might be happening because of the retinol and acid that i use every other night. however, since this one is not easy to get, i'd probably not repurchase this one.
