Product overview
Key Ingredients
Per the retailer's published "key ingredients" list (not an independently lab-verified INCI panel), this set features Citrus Junos (Yuzu) Fruit Extract, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Tangerine Extract, Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, and Niacinamide. Because this list comes from retailer marketing copy rather than an official ingredient panel, it should be treated as indicative rather than fully verified.
Key Features
This 5-piece set includes a Daily Facial Cleanser (50g), Revitalizing Toner (100ml), Refining Serum (17ml), Illuminating Eye Cream (15g), and a Day & Night Moisturizer (25g). Important origin disclosure: although the product name references "Japan," a Bangladesh retailer (Daraz) explicitly states this product is "Responsibly made in China with globally sourced ingredients" - so the country of manufacture should be understood as China, not Japan, despite the branding. As general brand-level context, buyers should also be aware that a different Laikou-branded item ("Laikou Japan Sakura Eye Mask") was previously the subject of a Philippines FDA advisory (No. 2021-1983) for lacking a valid Certificate of Product Notification - this advisory concerns a separate product, not this exact set, but supports treating "Japan" branding on Laikou products with general caution rather than as a confirmed claim of Japanese origin or regulatory clearance.
Benefits
Yuzu- and Vitamin C-based skincare is generally marketed for brightening, evening out skin tone, and providing antioxidant support, while Sodium Hyaluronate and Niacinamide are commonly associated with hydration and skin barrier support. As with all such marketing claims, individual results can vary and should be viewed as general positioning rather than a guaranteed outcome for this specific set.
Who Can Use This Product
This set is generally marketed toward adults seeking a brightening, hydrating skincare routine. It is intended for external use only. A patch test behind the ear is recommended before first use, and the product should be avoided near the eyes and on broken or irritated skin. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Individuals with known sensitivities to citrus-derived ingredients or Niacinamide should exercise particular caution.
How to Use
For external use only. Apply the cleanser first, followed by the toner, then the serum, the eye cream around the delicate under-eye area, and finish with the day & night moisturizer. Patch test behind the ear before first use. Avoid contact with the eyes and broken skin. Discontinue use immediately if irritation, redness, or discomfort occurs.
Storage & Safety
Store in a cool place, out of reach of children. Reported shelf life is approximately 5 years from manufacture, but always check the expiry date printed on your specific pack. Keep away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. As noted above, verify origin expectations before purchase, since the product name references Japan while the retailer's own sourcing statement confirms manufacture in China.
