Introducing Kawaii Tokyo: Skincare With The Essence of Tokyo Pop Culture

One of the first products I reviewed on my blog was the Le Edge. An almost, razor blade type device used to exfoliate the skin in a hygienic and environmentally safe way. I fell in love with the product and even hosted a giveaway on my site a few months back. If you haven’t seen one before, you have to visit their site and see what this thing is all about. So simple and wont require you to buy any additional products to make it work.

Since doing that review, I have been introduced to a new Brand, KawaiiTokyo, a beauty and skincare line that embodies the essence of Tokyo Pop Culture with their multi-beneficial products in their Brighten-Up Series. The japanese line is also the first (in Japan) to earn certification under the “Halal” standards of islamic law. All Kawaii Tokyo products are certified as Halal and free from both alcohol and animal-based ingredients.

The products are available right now in Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia….and hopefully the U.S as it works its way across the globe! I was lucky enough to secure a contact with one of their distributors to test out their products in return for my honest review. That review will be posted at a later date so if this post sounds juicy, be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss my future review. The line uses ingredients such as :

Aldenine: to protect the skin from free radical damage

EGF (epidermal growth factor): to stimulate skin resilience and eliminate spots

Marine Collagen: to diminish signs of aging

Arbutin: brightens the skin by inhibiting tyrosinase and prevents the formation of melanin.

Kawaii Tokyo’s Brighten-Up Skincare line is designed for the woman with an active lifestyle and includes cleansing, preventive, and treatment products each with ingredients targeting hyperpigmentation, wrinkles and daily environmental abuse.

Kawaii Tokyo Wash – A multi-effective morning or evening cleanser that gets rid of makeup, and helps to exfoliate the skin. It also includes vitamin C to add antioxidant protection for stressed out skin while leaving the skin moisturized. The wash comes in two versions, Spring Vacation, a formula using vitamins A,C and E giving added support to the skin and Nature Break, the botanical version using a blend of natural plant extracts to clean and purge the skin.

Kawaii Tokyo Brighten-Up Gel is a multi-functional moisturizing gel that works as a all-in-one step for busy women on the go. Brighten-Up Gel tones, moisturizes, brightens, and energizes the skin while providing relaxing and calming benefits for stressed or overworked skin. It can even be used as a base for makeup!

Kawaii Tokyo Brighten-Up Wrinkle Solution is formulated to treat photo-damaged skin around the delicate area of the eye. Made with Arbutin for is brightening properties, and EGF to increase skin resilience, Wrinkle Solution is available in two forms, Daily Defense and Overnight Repair. Im almost positive this is only available in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Turkey and Japan.

Kawaii Tokyo Brighten-Up UV Blocker chemical-free sunscreen comes in two versions SPF 28/PA++ or SPF 50/PA++. Being a chemical-free sunscreen means it uses physical UV blockers like zinc instead of chemicals like oxybenzone, a ultraviolet light absorber. Not only does the sunscreen block further UV damage to the skin, but it also treats the skin with its brightening and repairing ingredients such as Vitamin C, Vitamin A, while moisturizing with hyaluronic Acid and squalane. Licorice Extract calms the skin.

Kawaii Tokyo Brighten-Up Junsui is a multi-functional moisturizing spray that revives tired, stressed skin. Blended from 10 botanical extracts and vanadium alkaline mineral water from Mt. Fuki in Japan, rehydrates the skin and can be used as a makeup refresher, sunburn soother and general skin reviver with it high content of nutrient rich minerals. Junsui works as a moisturizer, brightener, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and refreshing spray for anytime of the day, before and after makeup.

Kawaii Tokyo Brighten-Up Spots Solution is a stick-type brightening serum with a high concentration of vitamin C, which is known to help in brightening and lightening the skin. Vitamin C blocks the production of Melanin preventing new spots from forming, while controlling sebum production, tightening pores and improving the appearance of acne scars.

Kawaii Tokyo Brighten-Up Pore Solution is a face and body gel exfoliator (bead-less) that contains gold leaf blended with 98.91% pure gold. AHA acids derived from natural sources such a fruits help loosen dead,dull skin revealing fresher, younger skin underneath. This peeling gel is blended antioxidant flavanoids that strengthen the skin by helping generate more collagen. This product increases cell turnover while restoring the skin with vitamins to firm.

Kawaii Tokyo Brighten-Up Makeup Dissolver dissolves away makeup and other impurities on the skin. A plant-based formula needing no water to wipe away dirt,oil, and makeup, Kawaii Tokyo’s Makeup dissolver will product no irritation and comes in two versions, promising aqua a quick wipe away solution, or melting dew, a deep cleansing liquid that removes even the most stubborn makeup without stripping the skin of its natural moisturizers.

Kawaii Tokyo is yet to be seen in U.S stockists but hopefully that will change soon. For now you can visit their website based out of Australia to try out the line. I love the theme behind the line, fun, clean while still actually treating the skin with ingredients that have been studied to show they work.

You can visit the Australian based Kawaii Tokyo Site here, or follow them on their Facebook page for future updates.

Have any of you tried internationally based products like this before? Im dying to see how the products work out for me when they arrive. I was following a pretty boring skincare regime earlier of Tretinoin and and cerave cleansers and moisturizers…but fell off the wagon a month or so ago. (note to self: FILL RX! ) Well see how this goes!
