Step Up Your Beauty Rituals with Japanese Indie Brand Today's Cosme

Japanese Indie Skincare Recommendation｜Popberry Today's Cosme - Hu Energy Face Mask Ap NR (Skin Texture/Pore Care)

Here is your pinpoint solution to stretched pores and saggy skin! This concoction of niacinamide and the A-list anti-aging ingredient retinol provides a dual elasticity boost. Retinol converts into retinoic acid (vitamin A acid) once absorbed by the skin, strengthening the skin structure and minimising pores from deep within. The gentle, hydrating formulation makes this mask a beginner-friendly choice for anti-aging beginners. Skin is left bouncy, delicate, and glowing with glass-like smoothness.

Targeting a different skin type from our previous introductions, the Ap CI mask is formulated with calming agents for oily and sensitive skin. The well-known skin soothers Centella asiatica (Cica) and tea tree relieve redness and catalyse skin repair, with anti-inflammatory benefits that restore strength and health. This mask is brilliant first-aid when your skin is troubled, unstable, or recovering from breakouts. The light, quick-absorbing texture is perfect on oily and combination skin.

Japanese Indie Skincare Recommendation｜Popberry Today's Cosme - Hu Energy Face Mask Ap VC (Radiance/Transparency Care)

A deeply hydrating and brightening mask infused with vitamin C and glutathione – two brightening powerhouses that leave skin radiant and even-toned. The rich moisturising essence thoroughly penetrates skin with no sticky or greasy finish. Antioxidant benefits also make this ideal for a quick bad skin patch-up, or for office workers and night owls.

It looks as if the exquisite skin of Japanese girls is immune from breakouts and blemishes. This is, of course, not the case – what matters is how they hide these blemishes while speeding up recovery. Pimple patches seems to be a solid solution. However, if you've used them before, you'll understand the worries of the patches being unpleasantly conspicuous.

Today's Cosme promises that visibility won't be a concern with its Zero Spot Patch. The ultra-thin and translucent material blends perfectly into skin, so that you can go out while wearing them – with your face bare, or even with makeup on top! The breathable, water-resistant, and securely adhesive material keeps your acne protected from bacteria and pollution to prevent worsening.

All you have to do is apply the patch to the affected idea after face wash. Dry the area thoroughly before use, and remember not to use toner, lotion, or other skincare on the area, as this may reduce the adhesion of the patch.

The safely adhesive patch forms an isolated environment around pimples to absorb fluids while protecting it from bacteria and other external sources of contamination. The coverage also prevents infection and scratching to ensure a smooth drying and healing process. Natural hydrating and nourishing ingredients such as vitamin E, vitamin C and silver ensure the patch does not dry skin out even with prolonged wear.

Japanese Indie Skincare Recommendation｜Today's Cosme - CICA Zero Spot Patch

This cica version features the addition of soothing botanicals, remarkably centella asiatica (cica). Cica and other soothers can relieve irritated skin and calm inflammation and redness, so this variation is for you if you have sensitive, irritable skin.

Japanese Indie Skincare Recommendation｜Today's Cosme - Zero Spot VITA CICA Patch (Big)

A larger, vitamin C-infused version of the Zero Spot Patch to aid in fading the pigmentation of acne scars. These patches accelerate skin recovery to prevent breakout scars, leaving skin as pristine as ever. Designed for nighttime care, apply before bed to dry pimples overnight. These patches also come in a larger size for wide areas prone to redness and breakouts, including the T-zone (forehead and nose), cheeks, and the U-zone (chin and jawline).

This cute little gadget isn't a pair of headphones, but a solid perfume! Solid perfume, compared to traditional perfume, has higher affinity to the natural scent of skin, so it's pleasantly subtle and less pungent. Traditional perfume also contains volatile chemicals, making it prone to evaporating, which solid perfume does not have. This is why the latter boasts a more lasting aroma, keeping you gently fragrant for the whole day without being overpowering.

Free from alcohol, the Pop Pods give off no chemical odours and is gentle even on sensitive skin, with a compact design perfect for quick touch-ups anytime, anywhere. You can use it on warm areas like behind your ears or on your wrists and collarbones, and allow the fragrance to gradually effuse with your body temperature.
