have you tried the kose astalution yet? Is it any good? How about the eye mask? I’m thinking to add both products with my kose sekkisei. Can I know which step the Astalution should be? After tonner? Before any skincare product?

Fy, yes, i’m using it at night. I’m still waiting to see the results, but it’s quite rich. If you skin is not too dry, you may considerate changing to another lighter moisturizer after using the serum if you want.
The eye mask not available the last time I asked. Is it here already?

I just bought the Astalution Eye mask an hour ago. Would give it ago this weekend. So you apply the serum after toner? There is a small pack of the serum included in the eye mask package, I might try the serum as well, as I have very dry skin it might be my prefect solution! Are you in KL? I’m Malaysian living in Tokyo. As I’m very new to Jpn still have language problem that’s why I’m asking you how to use the serum as I couldn’t find any english speaker nor instruction.

fy, no wonder, i don’t think the eye mask is here yet.
Before using the serum, I will use the Moisture Skin Repair first as shown above. The skin has to be moist before the serum, for better penetration. BTW, the instruction is very simple as well, just press a few times and apply on the face. I dumped the box some day ago, if not I would let you know.

I had finish two bottles of kose AST, first use is great,I felt my skin is tighten. So when I finished the first bottle, I rushed to buy a new bottle because the price is really cheap to me at RM155 with new ingredient and tech science breakthrough. I finished the second bottle last month and decided not to buy again. It didn’t help with my fine lines. I also used Kose power rice before, it’s neither hydra my skin instantly nor long term used. Oh..fyi, I have dry and sensitive skin at my 30’s. I used most of the Kose product, but I didn’t find it moisture my skin enough. My skin was getting dryer during dry weather oversea even I apply moisturizer many times a day. Overall I think it’s good brand to try for young ppl. I was switching to another brand now since it don’t suit me.

I just bought Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Protective Recovery Complex last week. I am happy to say that this is my dry skin liberator. It “plump up” my skin and hydrate throughout the day. This is the best hydrating serum I tried so far. On the first day apply, my pore (ageing pore) became tighter and my fine lines was less visible.
The main ingredient sodium hyaluronate did the good job (also contain Vitamin A & E). Many other products I tried do contains sodium hyaluronate (clinically proven effective hydrating agent), but I believe EL A.N.R contain the higher concentration. I am happy this product didn’t irritate my sensitive skin and it asorb into skin very quick. It got like tea tree oil smell, that’s ok to me. I also bought the whitening version to lighten my frackles, but hydrating is not as good as original version. Right now, I use whitening version day and night and add up the original version at night or when necessary.
At beauty counter, EL ANR cost RM 190 for 30ml. EL ANR(Whitening) cost RM 310 for 50ml. I bought in airport duty free, EL ANR is RM415 for 100ml and EL ANR(W) is RM488 for 75ml x 2.
Conclusion is, I love this product and this is worth to try for anyone who seek good hydrating serum.

Momokoko, thanks for the input. I tried Estee Lauder Night Repair before, but it was too rich. But that was quite some time ago, when I was younger. Maybe I will try it out again. Thanks for sharing your review.
