How to use
The Modern Minimalist Regimen
For use in AM: Apply 2-3 pumps of Cleansing Serum, massaging into moistened face working into a lather to dissolve dirt and makeup. Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry. Next, apply 2-3 pumps of Sake Nourishing Essence to face and neck with your hands, a cotton pad, or gauze for mild exfoliation. Finish by smoothing 2-4 pumps of Weightless Oil-Free Moisturizer face and neck with upward strokes.
For use in PM: Follow AM routine but apply Retinol Reform to dry skin after Sake Toning Essence and before Weightless Oil-Free Moisturizer. Start with 1-2 times per week and gradually increase as skin tolerates.

The products are working well with my skin. They are soft and gentle. I have sensitive skin, but the retinol is extremely gentle but I used it 3 nights in a row.
I am experiencing a little redness because I over did it, but I love the products.

The cleansing serum smells good, works very well and doesn't dry out the skin. The toning essence doesn't strip the skin. The oil-free moisturizer is wonderful. It does not leave a greasy feeling and provides moisture throughout the day. I have been using the products for a couple of weeks and my family has commented that my face is glowing.

It’s a perfect skincare set with all the important bits. Pair it with a nice sunscreen and you’re done but you can fit in fun face masks and serums as you see fit!
Very refreshing, you don’t need to use a lot to get a lot. Keeps your skin healthy and clear, love to see it.
I love the new packaging for the cleanser I hope the other parts of this set get the same treatment!

I love the cleansing serum and toner so much. My skin feels so nice after using them. The moisturizer is good too, sometimes i feel like i need more, because my skin is so dry, but overall i do love this routine and will continue using it

I really like the soft lather of the cleanser but I don’t love the smell. The toner seems like it’s doing what it’s supposed to but I have normal-dry skin and it’s depleting my skin of moisture. In addition to the moisturizer, I have to add another product to put more moisture to my face because it’s sooo dry. I’m disappointed the set didn’t work 100% for me but I plan to try more products from other companies in addition to this set to see if I can get the moisture my skin needs.
