Another best place to buy KOSE products is the Duty Free shop. I got these at Narita Airport, about 31%-38% cheaper in Malaysia.
1. Massage Mask (¥3,500)
2. Clear Lotion (¥1,700)
3. White Powder Wash (¥2,100)
You couldn't find this brand anywhere except in 7-11, Japan. According to some bloggers, this is the sister brand of KOSE but in smaller size, that's why they are only sell in 7-11. The unit price is also cheaper. I bought 5 bottles of the UV lotion SPF50 PA+++. One only costs me about RM23 (¥735). When you first apply it does feel a bit greasy but just for a short while. Have a nice smell too.
From the drugstore at the supermarket.
1. KOSE facial soap (trial size, limited edition) ¥420
2. Cezanne powder SPF12 PA++ ¥630
3. SANA Sakura essence ¥1,050 (reduce fine lines especially eyes and mouth areas, recommended by 牛爾 in 女人我最大 TV show)

KOSE COSMEPORT whitening essence ¥1,480 and cream ¥1,180. Don't know if these are good or not...just wanted to try since I'm looking for essence and moisturizing cream.
Horse oil is another product that you could only found in Hokkaido. Hokkaido Pure Horse Oil is known for its natural moisturizing quality. Derived from 100% pure horse fat, suitable even for the sensitive skin and people of all ages. I would advise to do a sensitivity skin test first before applying any new skincare though. It claimed to be a 'folk medicine' for skin problems, burns and insect bites for centuries. The fatty acid composition of horse oil is similar to that of human sebum, a skin barrier system protecting our skin from bacteria, harmful substances and outside stimuli. The cream could apply not only on your face but also any part of your body.
1. Lavender scented ¥1,050 - from the gifts shop in Ropeway station for Mt Usu and Showa Shinsan sightseeing.
2. Black colour ¥2,100 - bought it at Hakodate Heisenken's gifts shop
3. The 2 bottles at the right hand side are from Showa Shinsan Bear Park (top: ¥2,100 bottom: ¥3,150 ).
I prefer the black and orange bottles as both are in cream form, non greasy unlike the other 2 bottles, which is in pure oil form.
