Review Project Part 2 | We had three Aramis Lab Series skincare products tested.



Aramis Lab Series is one of the world's leading pioneering brands in men's skincare.
Since its launch in 1987, the Lab Series Research Center, comprised of an elite team of scientists and specialists, has thoroughly researched men's skin and developed products that meet the needs of men's skin.
This time, we'd like to introduce the results of three people who actually used three products from the "Aramis Lab Series": Multi-Action Face Wash Water, Lotion Age R+, and another product.





REVIEW1

What was the user experience like? We had someone actually try it out.

We asked participants, ranging from those who regularly use skincare products to those trying it for the first time, to use all three products as a set and review their experience with the cleanser, lotion, and emulsion.


A lotion that spreads smoothly on the skin and a emulsion that absorbs slowly!

Multi-Action Face Wash
The paste has a slightly bluish-white tint and a granular texture. When you pick it up and touch it, you can feel the rough, scrub-like texture.
The amount shown in the picture is enough for about two servings.


It has a subtle, refreshing minty scent.
Since I hadn't done anything before, it was natural that it would be more work, but I found the process of lathering up the facial cleanser and washing my face with that foam surprisingly enjoyable.

Water Lotion I never dreamed that the day would come when I'd be using toner, but since this step is apparently essential for skincare, I'll give it my best shot.
The toner spreads smoothly onto the skin, making it easy to use.

The container is blue, but the contents are colorless and transparent.

Age R+
The product claims to give you "healthy-looking skin with G-Action (ginseng moisturizing ingredient)," but what exactly is ginseng? After doing some research online, I found out that ginseng (Panax ginseng) is actually the same as "Korean ginseng"!


This is approximately the amount dispensed with one pump.
This product leaves a longer residue on the skin than a water lotion, but it doesn't leave a sticky, lingering feeling on the skin's surface.


What would happen if a woman in her 40s with no prior skincare experience used this product?

Reviewer: takuro

I'm a man in my late 30s who has "never" done any skincare before.
To give you an idea of how indifferent I was to skincare, I used Milk Soap (blue box) to wash my face every day.
I scrub it vigorously with a nylon scouring pad, washing it along with my body.
I've never used facial cleansing foam or face wash, and while I use shaving lotion when I shave, I've never used aftershave lotion before, so I decided to give it a try.


I'm going to try using these products in the morning after waking up: face wash → toner → moisturizer, and in the evening after returning home, when I take a bath: face wash → toner → moisturizer.

Multi-Action Face Wash
When you squeeze it out, you get a gel with a slightly pearly sheen. Take some with well-washed hands and lather it with lukewarm water, and you'll notice it contains scrub particles. Washing your face with the well-lathered cleanser feels great because of the scrub.
The facial cleanser itself doesn't have a strong scent, just a faint, pleasant fragrance. After washing and rinsing, wow! It rinses off very easily. There's no strange slimy feeling left behind, and it washes off very cleanly.
The refreshing feeling after washing was very pleasant.

Water Lotion
Moisturizing with a toner/water lotion.
After washing my face, I quickly dried it with a towel, and then it was time for toner. I feel like I should probably use cotton pads or something, but I just put about two pumps of toner into the palm of my hand.
Spread it evenly over your face and blend it in until it sets. The subtle fragrance is also a plus.
After washing your face and removing excess moisture, apply a refreshing toner.
This is my first time using it, and it feels great.


REVIEW2

What are your impressions after trying Aramis Lab's "Skincare for Men"?

I've started to enjoy washing my face!

Reviewer izappy

I used to think that men didn't need skincare, but after trying Lab Series' 3-step skincare routine, I've finally realized how important it is. I also found that the skincare process, which I thought would be troublesome, is actually quite easy and enjoyable to do, and something I can continue doing. So, although I started my skincare journey a little late, I plan to continue with it from now on.

Anti-aging skincare that makes you want to make it a habit! * I'll try continuing with it!

Reviewer: takuro

I've never really "cared" for my skin before, but this time I had the opportunity to use a dedicated facial cleanser, toner, and moisturizer for the first time.
*This refers to skincare appropriate for one's age.

From basic care to overall improvement

Reviewer des-wok

Aramis Lab Series is a skincare brand for men, so unlike other brands, you won't go to a department store counter and say "I'll take this," only to be told "it's for women" (laughs). The items are displayed as products for men, so you can receive counseling without feeling any pressure.
So, I encourage you to take your first step and visit the cosmetics floor of a department store like Isetan.
