Kiku-Masamune Sake Brewing Skin Care Lotion High Moist

No. The smell is strong when you first open the bottle (it genuinely smells like sake), but it evaporates within 30-60 seconds after application. By the time you move to the next step in your routine, it's gone. The scent comes from the sake ferment filtrate ingredient itself, not added fragrance.

It has a slightly tacky finish for the first minute or two, especially in humid weather, but it absorbs fully and the stickiness disappears. If you're in a rush, you can pat it in faster or follow with a toner that contains drying alcohol to speed absorption. Most people don't mind the brief tackiness because the hydration and brightening effects are worth it.

Yes, and that's one of the main selling points. The 500ml bottle is designed for face and body use. People use it post-shower on their whole body (arms, legs, chest, back) for brightening and hydration. It's one of the most cost-effective ways to treat body hyperpigmentation and dryness. Some even spray it in their hair for extra moisture.
