Featured items that color the coffret
The Skin Wake Fermented Moisture-Symphony Serum Mist
A moisturizing mist that can be used over makeup, designed with the skin's balance during the day in mind. It locks in the blessings of Acerola Fermented Moisture-Symphony Liquid®＊2 and balances moisture at the moments when dryness bothers you. It keeps skin that tends to fluctuate during the day healthy and supports the beautiful impression of freshly applied makeup.
It contains a natural amino acid–based moisturizing ingredient called "Moisture-Symphony Amino Balance Concentrate," which focuses on the skin's natural moisturizing factor (NMF). This comfortably balances water and oil, which tend to be disrupted during the day, and leads to a dewy, healthy-looking skin impression.
＊2 Acerola cherry fermented liquid, acerola fruit extract ＜moisturizing ingredients＞
The Skin Wake Fermented Moisture-Symphony Liquid Balm: Pomegranate (Zakuro)
A rouge exclusive to the coffret that brings moisture and color to the lips. With Skin Wake ingredients＊1 and the power of fermentation, it awakens the lips' natural beauty and beautifully colors the impression of the entire face.
With a single swipe, a dewy, translucent color envelops the lips, and the blessings of the Five-Part Wake Cocktail＊3, which includes Acerola Fermented Moisture-Symphony Liquid®＊2, leave lips moisturized. Its deep, gorgeous color brings out a dignified radiance.
＊1 Ingredients that provide moisture, ingredients that protect skin and lips, and more (Koh Gen Do standard) ＊2 Acerola cherry fermented liquid, acerola fruit extract ＜moisturizing ingredients＞ ＊3 Acerola cherry fermented liquid, acerola fruit extract, peony root extract, Job's tears seed extract, mugwort leaf extract ＜moisturizing and skin-conditioning ingredients＞, volcanic soil ＜ingredient that covers unevenness＞
The Skin Wake Fermented Liquid Foundation Filtering Cream
Known as the "best cosmetics award-winning Tsuya-Mitsu-Hada® foundation," this item protects skin throughout the day in all seasons with its high UV protection of SPF42 PA++++.
The rich, smooth cream spreads as if melting into the skin and naturally covers skin concerns. It aims to deepen the glow with each layer and lead to "Tsuya-Mitsu-Hada®," skin that looks as if filled with moisture and light from within.
The 40th anniversary limited case uses "Eternal Brown," which expresses beauty that deepens as time passes. It is a special color symbolizing the brand's journey and dignity.
The Skin Wake Fermented Liquid Primer Smooth Color Control
A popular primer that builds in translucency and radiance is also included in the set. It spreads dewy and smooth, and firmly protects skin with high UV protection of SPF42 and PA++++.
Color variations based on the "color wheel" correct dullness and uneven color, creating the translucency and glow of beautiful bare skin.
Anniversary vanity pouch
A limited vanity pouch created to commemorate Koh Gen Do's 40th anniversary. Its large capacity holds not only makeup and skincare products but also makeup brushes.
Based on a deep brown, it has a refined design set off by a gold charm bearing the brand logo. The lining is a warm brown, giving a finish with a mature elegance.
It also has a makeup brush pocket that holds two thick brushes and two thin brushes, as well as a handy inner pocket, making it easy to organize small items and keep the inside of the pouch tidy.
