FAQ
What does 4MSK do for my skin?
4MSK is a brightening active that works to visibly reduce the look of dark spots and freckles with regular use — it's a cosmetic brightening ingredient, not a medical treatment.
Moist vs. Very Moist — which is this?
This is the Very Moist (とてもしっとり) version, richer and better suited to normal-to-dry skin than the standard Moist option.
Can I use this daily?
Yes, it's designed as a twice-daily toner step after cleansing, morning and night.
