Japanese Sake Skin Care Cream — Reddit Reviews
by Kikumasamune
Updated September 30, 2026
Thick, winter-ready cream with ceramides and arbutin; breaks some acne-prone skin out.
What the community says
A thick, occlusive cream built for dry, flaky skin that needs more than a light lotion. People like it as a winter layer, but acne-prone users report painful breakouts and the scent turns some off.
What this means for you
What people love
Watch out for
- Can trigger painful acne on skin that is even mildly clog-prone
- Sake scent is divisive and not everybody wants that on their face
- So rich it can take over a year to finish
