The Best Japanese Beauty Products awards includes 58 other categories, including the top, the hall of honour, and the newcomers. We have hand-picked a few that would interest you and show it to you!

Beauty Supplements Category

Supplements support our beauty from within our bodies, each acting as a partner to approach various concerns. Would whitening or collagen products be in the ranking??

Top Beauty Supplements: SHISEIDO The Collagen Enriched Drink V

This came as a surprise. Out of the various supplements and various collagen products, the drink type collagen came out as number one! The drink type is a little more expensive when compared to the powder type, but the is recommended for anyone looking for the fast acting effect. This is often stocked by people who often face skin troubles (^^)

Number 2 Beauty Supplements: FANCL Vitamin C & Vitamin P

The Vitamin P in this supplement acts to support the efficiency of Vitamin C. While a lot of brands release their own brand of supplements, a lot of consumers trusts the FANCL brand to deliver.

Number 3 Beauty Supplement: SHISEIDO Beauty Foods Pure White (Drink)

Shiseido enters the ranks of top supplements once again! It also comes in tablet form. Reviews write that this is good for days when you’d be out in the sun. You may want to stock this too just in case.

Sheet Mask Category

I remember that 2016 saw a lot of releases for sheet masks, a really busy time as new releases try to catch up to existing masks. What mask took the number one spot for popularity?

Best Sheet Mask: MINON Amino Moist Elastic Moist Skin Mask

MINON has set its brand image as sensitive skin orientated cosmetics, so gentle that even babies may be able to use them. You’d agree to why they use the word “elastic” when you open the package! The lotion is not liquid, but in gel form! You feel that the mask gives a moist, penetrating feel.

Number 2 Sheet Mask: Saborino Morning Face Mask

This mask is for anyone who rush in the mornings. It is a popular, new concept mask that doubles as cleansing and beauty lotion. The Saborino Morning Face Mask released this year, and our Starlets have even reviewed these products. A newcomer that took second place in the category. Surely we can look forward to the brand’s future products!

Number 3 Sheet Mask: SK-II Facial Treatment Mask

Most users do not use this for daily use, but they purchase this to use in times of emergencies. Time to give your skin a treat after one year of abuse.

Shampoo/Conditioner Category

There are a number of products to get sleek hair or prevent frizzy hair. It can be difficult to choose Shampoo or Conditioner especially when you can’t try it first, so you may want to use this ranking as a reference!

Best Shampoo/Conditioner: Lebel IAU Cleansing Relaxment

The Lebel IAU Cleansing Relaxment was number two in the Shampoo/Conditioner category in 2015, and it finally took number one this year! Lebel helps users attain deeply-rooted hair. IAU Cleansing Relaxment also gives moisture to dry hair and scalp.

Number 2: Bifesta Eye Makeup Removal

Just as the name suggests, the Bifesta Eye Makeup Removal is a liquid-based cleanser. Even without having to rub, makeup can be removed easily. The moisturising ingredient lifts the makeup and wraps it up, moisturising the skin while removing the makeup.

Number 3: SHU UEMURA Ultime8 Supreme Beauty Cleansing Oil

Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil strictly selects eight plant derived oils for use of 1,000 types of oil combinations. This clears the pores really well. You’ll be thankful for the cashmere-like smooth skin.
