New force to fight spots
April 10, 2005 | 12:00am
Asian women prefer having very fair, translucent skin instead of getting that sexy tan. Skin-whitening is the process of obtaining such complexion. It is not about facial peels or bleaching pills. Whitening is really about removing freckles, acne scars and brightening up overall skin tone.
Kosé is a Japanese brand that has mastered the art and science of skin-whitening. Its ultimate goal is to make skin radiate from within, making it white as snow. Based on the concept of rebuilding the skin, the Sekkisei whitening series evens skin tone and reverses freckles and pigmentation caused by the sun. An added bonus is that it prevents the skin from future damage.
Other whitening products contain harsh ingredients causing the skin to burn. The Sekkisei whitening series makes use of Oriental plant extracts that gently whitens and strengthens the skin’s immunity.
Start off this regimen with the Seikisho Facial Soap which removes sebum, dirt, makeup residue and dead skin cells, revealing a clearer and brighter complexion. Unlike other toners, the Medicated Sekkisei Cosmetic lotion does not contain alcohol so it moisturizes the skin for a translucent finish. The proper technique should be used in applying. Get a cotton pad and tap it on the face. The ideal number is 10 times plus your age. With tapping, it firms the skin and helps the blood circulate.
The Medicated Sekkisei Emulsion should be used next. It is like a serum that softens the skin and lightens pigmentation. To protect from the sun, the Medicated Sekkisei Day Whitening Essence with SPF25 controls melanin production and inhibits the formation of blotches and freckles caused by excessive sun exposure.
At night, a good makeup remover is the Seikisho Cleansing Oil, which effectively dissolves all traces of makeup as well as impurities deep inside pores. The Seikisho Mask White is a black mask with nano powder that helps remove dirt and impurities to enhance skin’s translucency.
There are two choices for a night cream. The Medicated Sekkisei Cream is a water-based cream that improves skin clarity and accelerates whitening. For those who want a thicker consistency, the Medicated Sekkisei Cream Excellent is a skin whitening cream that hydrates and firms mature and dry skin. However, following these steps religiously are not enough for a flawless complexion. The skin needs a preventative measure to stop visible spots from proliferating
This is why Kose recently launched the Sekkisei Essence Excellent, a whitening essence to treat spots while they are still invisible. Reiko Ishizawa, brand manager for Kosé, says, "We have found the existence of potential spots hiding inside the melanocyte. This essence was developed to contain the hidden spots before appearing on the surface."
Freckles, age spots, pigmentation and uneven skin tone are signs of skin damage. Deep inside the skin lie invisible spots or excess melanin. As we age, both visible and invisible spots proliferate working its way up to the skin surface. The Sekkisei Essence Excellent blocks excess melanin production and controls potential spots to effectively whiten the skin.
For the first time in the Sekkisei series, the Essence Excellent is formulated with Mugwort leaf extract. This has been used in ancient times as herbal medicine to stop bleeding and suppress inflammation. The extract contained in this product acts as a whitening agent to inhibit melanin production, as well as possessing anti-inflammatory and anti-allergenic benefits for the skin.
The whitening effect is maximized because it is water-based and water-soluble. Other ingredients in the Sekkisei Essence Excellent are the hyaluronic acid, which contains water within the skin and amino acid that moisturizes the skin. The rock rose extract helps the whitening ingredients to penetrate the skin further. The slippery sensation vitalizes each skin cell while the flexible veil penetrates as if water flows deeply into the skin.
"We realized the inevitableness of moisture to keep the skin healthier for maximum penetration of whitening effect. This essence enhances metabolism by penetrating into the skin. The sticky texture with condensed whitening ingredients has a non-sticky after-feel," explains Ishizawa.
After washing the face with, dispense two pumpfuls and massage all over the face. For best results, add another pump and gently pat with fingertips on problem areas like visible spots. Use day and night and the skin will be whiter, more translucent and moisturized. The best thing about the Sekkisei Essence Excellent is that it prevents not only UV related spots and freckles but also rough skin, dullness and dehydration for white and translucent skin.

The Sekkisei Essence Excellent comes in 50ml and costs P4,250. Sekkisei is available at Rustan’s Essenses.
