Other Naturie products:I’m so surprised they only have 3 products! I actually was trying to find the emulsion in Japan but no stores had it. I’m not sure if it was too new, but I’m really going to have to get my hands on the other two products. I know the moisturizing gel is another cult favorite as well and I’m kind of kicking myself for not picking it up when I was in Japan. Argh!
Ingredients:Water, DPG, BG, glycerin, coix extract, glycyrrhizic acid 2K, (styrene / acreates) copolymer, ethanol, citric acid, sodium citrate, methylparaben, propylparaben
How to use:1) Use as a toner: Use a quarter coin-sized amount three times after you have cleansed your skin.2) Spot mask: Soak a sheet of cotton pad with the skin conditioner and leave on your skin for 3 minutes to further increase the amount of keratin water.3) Slather all over your body after bathing or after sunbathing.
Product packaging:Most of the Japanese cosmetic packaging is super underwhelming to be honest, especially when you are so used to K-beauty. If I had not researched a crap ton while I was on my trip in Tokyo, I would not have even batted an eye at this product.
This product was released back in 2002 and has been a cult favorite for a long time. It even won first place in Cosme ranking back in 2018 and has been a constant top player for years and years. If you guys don’t know what Cosme is, it is a website where consumers look up product information as well as submit their own honest reviews and there is 2 ranking award for each category that happens every year.
Think of it as Makeupalley but has an even stronger presence in Japan. They even have a Cosme store in malls that carries tons of brands and has a section solely for the award-winning products! It’s pretty amazing and is highly trusted by Japanese consumers.

If you want to navigate on Cosme, you can either use Google chrome and have the whole page translated or use their Cosme US site. I find the US site to be way more stripped down to the basics, whereas the Japanese website has way more information and more consumer comments.
The packaging is just a simple tall plastic bottle with a twist-off top, which reveals a stopper. I use about 3-4 drops per layer and I usually layer it 3 times before moving onto my serums and essences.

Texture + effects:The texture is very watery and honestly, I thought it wasn’t going to do much. To my surprise, every product I use after layering the skin conditioner absorbs into my skin so much better. The ingredient list doesn’t have anything crazy and consists mainly of water, glycerin, and Job’s tears. I haven’t tried anything with Job’s tears (aka. barley), so many that is a new ingredient I’ll have to look into purchasing more of in the future. Usually when I wake up in the morning, the insides of my cheeks next to my nose already feels slightly rough, but not with this product! It is truly magic.
Fragrance?:No fragrance
Pro:-ridiculously cheap for such a big bottle-simple ingredients-super effective-highly moisturizing
Con:Nothing!
Repurchase?:Most definitely yes!!
