Kitao - skincarereview101 review for Matcha + Chia Essence Lotion

~Gifted, but opinions are my own~ #pr #gifted #sponsored I am sharing my thoughts on @kitaomatchausa essence lotion. 🌞PRODUCT AND SIZING: Kitao Matcha & Chia Essence Lotion, 200 ml 🎁PRESENTATION: This clear essence lotion is in a brown-hued plastic bottle and comes in a beautiful cylindrical brown paper box. 💦STAR INGREDIENTS: Its star ingredient is organic, ECOCERT-certified, and ethically-sourced matcha from Kyoto, Japan. Matcha is rich in antioxidants and anti-aging properties. It contains quinoa to balance oil and acai for brightening. 🌺TEXTURE and SCENT: It is watery and has a strong scent (I can't describe it, but it is similar to alcohol) that does not linger. It does not have any added fragrance, but does contain alcohol. 👨‍🦱 MY THOUGHTS: Even though this is watery, it adheres to the skin nicely. Once absorbed, it feels more like a light serum and keeps my skin well-moisturized. I found the scent too strong (I washed my hands to be sure that scent was not coming from something else I used) even though it did not stay (I am hoping the scent will become lighter as I use the bottle). All of the Kitao products I have tried do not indicate any expiration dates or use within dates. I think it's good for 12 months after opening. 👐 PAIRING: I used this with various products, including Toun28 propolis serum, Kitao cream, and Face Republic sun essence.
