Time to talk about the best new skin care.
After sharing the best new base makeup and best new colour makeup, it's time to talk about the slew of new skin care products. I know there are a tonne of brands that are not exported (out of Japan), hence I've never seen or heard of them before. Today is the first time I've heard of such several brands below, and they definitely make it harder for me to translate the brand name and product name because it's all in Japanese.
While I questioned the utility in sharing products that aren't remotely available, it's still useful IF you happen to be travelling to Japan because you'll be fazed with TOO MUCH brands and products in the local drug store. Having a guide is a good head start :)
Here are the products that won the hearts of @cosme editors. I also loosely translated the short description of the winner of each category.

ENDING THOUGHTS
As I've said, there are quite a number of brands that are only available in Japan itself. I thought I have a pretty good idea of brands in Japan, how wrong was I!!! I'm being educated everyday :D
Also, what's with the luxury brands and skin care products? Can you imagine all that ka-ching sound effects in the back of your mind every time you dig into that expensive cream? KA-CHING KA-CHING!
