Aug 28, 2018

You're probably already using many of the best Japanese skin care brands without even realizing it. The same goes for the best Japanese cosmetic brands. Beauty vloggers and makeup artists have long been familiar with Japan's biggest skin care secrets, but the time has come to call them out for who they are and what they do. How many of these brands YOU already use?

1. Kao Biore

The Kao Biore craze started with Biore pore strips, but this brand is a skin care juggernaut. You can find beauty products for nearly everything.

In addition to Biore, which you can find in almost every country, Kao Biore is responsible for Curel, a well-known and well-loved skin care line with products for your face, hands, neck, body, and even the delicate skin under your eyes. Nivea is another recognizable name from the brand, but you should also try Atrix. This variety makes Kao Biore easily one of the best Japanese skin care brands.

2. Shiseido

Shiseido is one of the best Japanese cosmetic brands on the block. The brand has all types of skin care products. If something goes on your skin, Shiseido has it. Regarding makeup, you'll find every product you could ever want, from primers, concealers, and foundations to blush, highlighter, eyeliner, and lipstick. They also have a full range of products for beautiful eyebrows.

To care for your skin, stock up on serums, toners, and makeup removers, along with lotions and creams for every area of your body. You can't beat Shiseido's face masks, either. They're a good way to attain the gorgeous porcelain glow that's going around Instagram lately.

3. Oshima Tsubaki

Oshima Tsubaki is known for one fantastic product: the Oshima Tsubaki Hair Camellia Oil. While it’s mostly used for hair, this antioxidant-rich oil has a number of benefits for the skin, keeping both moisturized and supple. Popular in Japan, it absorbs quickly to make the hair, skin, and scalp feel nice and healthy.

4. Kose

Kose is easily one of the best skin care brands in Japan, primarily because it's a one-stop shop. You can find something for just about any skin problem. Wash your face in foaming collagen or attack acne and other blemishes with a cleansing face wash through the Softymo line. Rose of Heaven offers hair care and moisturizers. You can also attack the blackheads on your nose or add a black face wash to your routine.
