J-Beauty Drugstore Classic

Sana moisturizer

Nameraka Honpo Soy Milk Moisturizing Cream

A twenty-year-old Japanese drugstore cream that still earns its shelf space. Fermented soy, glycerin, squalane, and a ceramide in a dense non-greasy finish, for about the price of two coffees. It is not the most modern formulation in the category, but for hydration and gentle anti-aging at drugstore cost, it is quietly hard to beat.

J-Beauty Drugstore Steal

Sana eye-cream

Nameraka Honpo Soy Milk Isoflavone Eye Cream

A J-beauty drugstore anomaly: real retinol, fermented soy actives, and a ceramide packed into a 20g jar that costs less than a movie ticket. It is not the most sophisticated eye cream on earth, but per-yen it is unmatched, and the gentle delivery makes it a genuine option for retinol beginners scared to put actives near their eyes.
