Japanese Skincare

There are several reputable brands of Japanese skincare out there. My favorites are Shiseido, and Muji. Shiseido is has an excellent deep clean cleanser for men that I use twice a week. It's almost like having an at-home skin treatment because after I wash off the cleanser, my skin already peels lightly. Price varies, but just above $20, and it lasts me a year. Shiseido has a beautiful flagship store in Ginza, where I shopped at, but they don't do duty free so you're better off buying a skin care set at the airport before you leave Japan.

If you are looking for something light, I suggest Muji's products. I have a foaming cleanser that is light, and does a good job of cleaning my skin. It costs about $10-15, and lasts for about 6 months with twice a day use.

I have also seen a charcoal cleanser from various brands such as Gundam, but I will have to test another time. I also have heard good things about SK II, and DHC. Most of these products can be purchased online at Amazon or a local Asian grocery store. Also many Macys department stores carry Shiseido for men and women. Are there any Japanese skin care products, especially for men, I am unaware of? I love to try new things.
