1. Dark Spot Corrector by Melano CC
Melano CC is my numero uno favorite product, and I can’t recommend this enough. I used to have a lot of dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and acne scars. I have tried many products to lessen them, but this is the best suit for my skin, and I guess it’s cheap. It’s under 10 dollars.
This Dark Spot Corrector uses ascorbic acid, and a form of Vitamin C, to inhibit the production of melanin and gradually brighten dull areas. Unlike most Vitamin C serums, this one is packaged in an air-tight tube to prevent air exposure, which can reduce the effectiveness of Vitamin C.
2. Deep Cleansing Oil by DHC
Cleansing your face with oil is essential, especially when you have dry skin. DHC has, for a long time now been one of Japan’s most reliable and respected skincare brands, and their best seller is the deep cleansing oil. Thanks in large part to products like this, you can now remove even the thickest makeup.
This Super-cleansing cleansing oil is available in the 1,000 yen range! This vegetable cleansing oil also cleans pores.
3. Cezzane Natural cheek
You will love this color cheek blush from Cezzane. It’s cheap and easy to apply. With a wide variety of colors, you can find colors that look good and colors that match your skin. Its compact size makes it convenient to carry.
4. Face Masks by Lululun
Lululun masks are top-rated in Japan. I have tried lots of different masks before, but I had never bought any other since a friend recommended it to me. They are available in a fantastic array of colors, but the pink one is what I have been using.
Lipidure is the signature ingredient of Lululun masks. It gives the skin long-lasting hydration, which is boosted by the presence of hyaluronic acid.
5. Anessa Perfect UV Sunscreen by Shiseido
Preventing UV damage and sunspots is a massive priority in Japanese skincare. It is one of Japan’s most effective sunscreen options on the market now. It might be a bit expensive than other drugstore sunscreens, but it’s worth the investment when you are serious about your skincare. With its soft and milky texture, it’s easy to apply underneath your daily makeup.
6. Hot Cleansing Gel by Skinvill
I started using this Hot Cleansing Gel in 2018, and I’m still using it now. It works to exfoliate comedogenic sebum, dead skin cells, and makeup residues, making the pores conspicuous. With high cleansing performance, this gel cleanly removes dirt and impurities.
7. Canmake Cream Cheeks
Always look fresh with Canmake cream cheeks. They are available in vibrant colors and shades. It blends well with the skin, and it’s highly compatible with all kinds of foundations.
8. Canmake eyeshadows
Create captivatingly adorable eyelids with Canmake eyeshadows. It has this dewy look, and the secret is the souffle, which boosts shimmer and staying power. They glide gently into the skin.
9. Makeup Remover Wipes by Bifesta
One of the skincare rules is to cleanse your make up before going to bed. In the beauty world, It is a sin not to cleanse your makeup before going to bed. It is one of the most essential rules easily. But sometimes we want to go to bed straight. Don’t worry, the Bifesta Makeup remover will help you abide by this rule. By just one sheet, you can remove all your make up. It also serves as a skincare lotion because it contains moisturizing Vitamin C and lactic acid (dead cell softener). It’s completely fragrance-, colorant- and oil-free.
10. ETVOS Acne VC Lotion
I have struggled for many years about acne problems. I have tried so many products, but nothing worked. If I’m going to total all my expenses for my acne, I could buy a car. It’s not even a joke. Only when I bought Etvos Acne Vc Lotion that I saw improvements in my skin. I stopped having severe breakouts.
This product is made for highly sensitive skin and prone to acne. As an active ingredient, VC ethyl (3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid: active ingredient), a highly penetrating vitamin C derivative, is added, characterized by quick action as vitamin C in the skin. It is a vitamin C derivative that has both fast and long-acting properties. Also, the active ingredient licorice extract prevents acne and leads to healthy skin.
11. Cure Natural Aqua Gel
This is the best selling exfoliator that changed my skincare routine. This product is a lightweight, minimal-effort gel that acts as an exfoliator. It consists of a smooth, watery, gel consistency that functions as an exfoliating scrub, without the harsh tugging and scratching of the skin. The Cure Aqua gel is 91% activated hydrogen water; this product is incredibly gentle, non-stripping, and even more perfect for sensitive skin.
12. Fortune Tint Rouge Lipsticks
I have been using rough tint lipsticks for 3 years now and I’m not changing to other brands anytime soon. This is my ultimate best to go to lipstick. It’s easy to apply, it moisturizes my lips and adds fragrance of fresh and sweet fruit.
13. Cezzane matte lipsticks
If you are more into budget-friendly lipsticks, I recommend cezzane lip products. You will love their lipsticks if you love pink and red shades, they have tons of them.
Cezzane lipsticks contain moisturizing ingredients (squalene, royal jelly extract) to protect moisture and prevent dryness and roughness on the lips.
14. Canmake Creamy touch Liner
You will adore the tantalizing smooth texture of Canmake eyeliners. They are amazingly smooth products that glide to your eyelids kindly. It provides perfect color with just one application, so there’s no need to go over the line again. The rich color is glossy enough to make your eyes stand out!

Hi Ali. Yes, I’ve got to admit, the first thing I thought of was technology. I certainly didn’t realise that Japanese people invest more in beauty products than any other country. That’s a great product list that you’ve put together. In all honesty, I doubt that I’ll ever use any of them … but I will mention them to my wife 🙂
thank you Richie!
